I am a bisexual woman. I’m married to a man, which is oftentimes met with the statement “so, you’re straight now?” The simple answer? No. I’m bisexual, capable of being attracted to and loving either men or women.  
Much like many of the members of the LGBT+ community, I have been discriminated against and felt unheard for a fundamental part of me.  

I, for this reason, is why I stood to be the student union representative for the LGBT+ community. For the bisexuals, the lesbians, the gay people, the transgender people, and anyone who in any way identifies as a part of our accepting and tolerant society. I want to help all students embrace their identities, their sexuality and all of who they are.  

I would lobby our university to encourage more LGBT+ events and invite in LGBT+ speakers. I would also encourage all professors, of all faculties, to try to be inclusive in the material they present to students, trying to equally recognize the work of those in LGBT+ community, and the impact it has had on the subject in question.  

Finally, as a student of psychology, I take passion in studying humanity, and the actions and feelings of a person, and armed with this knowledge, my personal experiences, and my thirst for a university that encourages an embracing of sexuality, identity and the whole self, for both LGBT+ people and allies, I feel well equipped to embark on the pursuit of an inclusive, and celebratory institute. Don't hesitate to contact me!
