Bisexual theory

Bisexual theory is a field of critical theory, inspired by queer theory and bisexual politics, that foregrounds bisexuality as both a theoretical focus and as an epistemological lens. Bisexual theory emerged most prominently in the 1990s, in response to the burgeoning field of queer theory, and queer studies more broadly, frequently employing similar post-structuralist approaches but redressing queer theory's tendency towards bisexual erasure.

In their critique of the frequent elision of bisexuality in queer theory, Serena Anderlini-D'Onofrio and Jonathan Alexander write, "a queer theory that misses bisexuality's querying of normative sexualities is itself too mastered by the very normative and normalizing binaries it seeks to unsettle".

Scholars who have been discussed in relation to bisexual theory include Ibrahim Abdurrahman Farajajé, Steven Angelides, Elisabeth Däumer, Jo Eadie, Shiri Eisner, Marjorie Garber, Donald E. Hall, Clare Hemmings, Michael du Plessis, Maria Pramaggiore, Merl Storr, and Kenji Yoshino.

Definition of Bisexual, Bisexuality is known as attraction to various genders. Individuals who identify as bisexual are attracted to both their gender and the other sex, whether romantically or sexually. Although this is a basic description, there are many different types of bisexuals. Regarding their sexual orientation, each person views things differently.
