This is in the book I just bought about BPD called “Sometimes I Act Crazy”. Yay for medical books equating bisexuality with confusion. Yay legitimized biphobia
This book is trash. Where/who is the publisher/author?
Let’s write them or if they are done blowing their $$$$ on awards and feel like doing Idk WORK on actual Bi issues maybe GLAAD could step in?I personally would trust NOTHING in this book. If the author is this bigoted then they probably have more screwed up stuff too.
I’d definitely say action alert, comparing sexualities to mental illness symptoms although not uncommon in the medical industry is surely bloody illegal.Let’s get on this.
OK here is the amazon page:

I hope that link works.
Here is the author and publisher:
Jerold J. Kreisman, M.D., Hal Straus
John Wiley & Sons
Here is their website:
http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/so I know this was going around a while ago but I just wanted to add that it’s extra disgusting because Borderline Personality Disorder is common in victims of rape and sexual abuse, which 46% of bi women are
I am so glad this circled back round to my dash so I can get this news out there!
After I saw this and wrote that up a bunch of Bi Activists including Faith Cheltenham of BiNet USA, amazing Estraven2 of NYABN and me all got together to talk about this.
Thanks to Estraven’s work the author was contacted and has confirmed THAT HE WAS WRONG AND THAT IT WILL NO LONGER APPEAR IN ANY FUTURE EDITIONS OF HIS BOOK!!
