No, thank you, stereotypes

(Shared from my blog at blogger)


 In my books, I honestly try to tackle common stereotypes that I feel have been misrepresenting certain groups. One example is my main character, Jule. In the book More Than Human, it should be fairly obvious that she is bisexual. Not, through a lot of different literature and movies and shows, very often if a woman is portrayed as bisexual, she falls into one of two categories. She is either kind of "butch" or masculine whether it be in appearance or personality, or she is feminine but still falls for another woman. In either case, both seem to always end up with the woman. Jule, however, is a bisexual woman in a committed hetero-sexual relationship. Yes, people, it is possible. 

I'm attempting to put more emphasis on choosing a person rather than a gender.

This topic is a very personal one, to me, as a bisexual woman myself.

Can we just stop stereotyping all-together? Maybe?
