“…Many of its themed special issues have also been published as books and have thus become available outside the narrow circles of an exclusively academic readership (e.g. Alexander and Yescavage, 2004;Alexander and D'Onofrio, 2012;Anderlini-D'Onofrio, 2003;Anderlini-D'Onofrio, 2004;Fox, 2004;Galupo, 2009). Some universities offer specialist units on Bisexuality Studies or at least sections of gender or sexuality-related units on bisexual phenomena.…”

Bisexuality has come a long way in recent years. A few years ago in an article on this topic the only thing I would have felt able to say about bisexuality would have been to defend the viability of saying anything about it at all' (Storr, 1999a: 309). With these words Merl Storr opens her article 'Postmodern bisexuality', published 19 years ago in Sexualities. In that essay she sought to explain early signs of (largely tokenistic) references to bisexuality within some currents of gender, lesbian and gay, and queer studies.

Scholars writing on the topic of bisexual identity frequently lament the lack of bisexual representation in works of Sexuality (1978) and Butler's Gender Trouble (1990. By writing bisexuality into these works, I will demonstrate that the inclusion of bisexuality ultimately bolsters the arguments of both authors. This article first turns to Foucault, whose work is often considered the catalyst of queer theory, to show that bisexuality can be profitably analyzed through his framework of medicalization, speciation and reverse discourse. I then look at Butler's foundational work, illustrating that her arguments on the interrelatedness of sex/sexuality/gender and also on gender performativity are reinforced by the inclusion of bisexuality.
