Welcome to episode 256 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to welcome Dr. Mimi Hoang (she/her) to the podcast. In this episode, we discuss the common misconceptions around bisexual people, the pressures bisexual people face when getting into a same-sex relationship and looking at the ways in which Dr. Mimi has helped uplift the bisexual community.

Dr. Mimi Hoang (she/her) is an internationally-recognized psychologist, educator, author, and grassroots activist specializing in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQ+) and Asian Pacific Islander (API) communities. Since the 1990s, she has co-founded three organizations in Los Angeles for bisexual, pansexual, fluid, and other nonmonosexual (AKA "bi+") individuals, authored multiple publications, and earned a seat at the landmark 2013 White House Bisexual Community Roundtable.

Dr. Mimi's steadfast leadership has earned her multiple awards, a feature in Jan Dee Gordon's LGBTQ of Steel photography book, and being named “One of the Most Significant Women in the Bisexual Movement.” She currently works as a Staff Psychologist at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), Clinical Supervisor of the LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy Center at Airport Marina Counseling Services, and is the creator of the "Bi on Life" self-empowerment series and Bi+ Women's Space, a virtual support group for bi+ women in Los Angeles.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • How Dr. Mimi became interested in this line of work
  • The ways in which Dr. Mimi has helped uplift the bi community
  • Overcoming the mental health challenges around coming out as bi-sexual
  • How many people try to invalidate bisexuality as a pathway to becoming gay or lesbian
  • How the percentage of people in the US identifying as LGBTQ+ has doubled since 2012
  • Looking at the common misconceptions around bisexual people
  • Why it’s important to understand that bisexuality is not experimentation
  • The pressures bisexual people face when getting into a same sex relationship
  • Recommendations for communities and support groups for bisexual people
