Coming out as bi can happen at any age. Yet, many people question if it’s “too late” to come out as bisexual.

As a bi therapist, I’ve seen the relief, joy, and healing that comes with affirming one’s bi identity even after years of questioning or silence.

Let’s explore this fear of it being “too late” to come out and why it’s actually never too late to authentically embrace your queerness.

When I first came out as bi I never felt queer enough. I feared my bisexuality being judged and invalidated. Finding ways to affirm my bisexuality helped me find community, self-love, and pride with my sexuality.

Here are four personal practices that helped affirm my bisexual identity.

Wondering if you're bisexual? While there isn’t an official ‘Am I bisexual quiz,’ here are some signs you might be bi from a bi psychologist.

Bisexuality and bi+ identities are the largest subgroup of the LGBTQ+ community. While mighty in number, bisexuality is often overlooked, invalidated, or simply ignored.

If there are so many bi+ people, why do we often feel so alone?

You deserve a therapist who validates your bi+ identity and recognizes the beauty of you being able to affirm your identity. Read about what it may be like to have a bi-affirming therapist.
