You never know where the fabulous Robyn Ochs and I will turn up to take our next, extra-bi selfie!!!! (Or, okay, maybe you could guess if you wanted to, y’know, put together a spreadsheet of our two travel schedules. But that might be a little stalker-y. But, okay, if you do feel compelled to do that, could you maybe share it with me? And be my secretary? Cause I could really use one!) #trans #adventurer #bisexuals #biactivism #transwoman #bi #loreleierisis #robynochs #mblgtacc #wmu #queer #femmes (at Western Michigan University) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8m2p8OhjlX/?igshid=c2lycd2plrmh

Hugs to everyone reading this. 

It's a bonus when my work takes me to places that provide opportunity to spend time with friends & colleagues. I'm in LA & had the gift of an evening of good conversation w Dr. Mimi Hoang, an activist & thought leader in the bi+ community. #bitwitter #biactivisim #bipride #bimama

Offline activism is potentially dangerous. Participating in events puts certain populations at risk. For some, simply stepping outside of the house is a potentially endangering endeavor, let alone protesting, marching, or calling attention to oneself. Women who participate in marches to end rape culture are often catcalled, have slurs hurled at them, and risk threats of rape and violence. Queer people attending pride events run the risk of queerphobic attacks, slurs, verbal harassment, and potential violence. If someone is not out and they are discovered to be involved in queer events, they may face loss of job, house, family, and more. This is not just from opposition either. People face potential danger from police and military for protesting in offline spaces.
