雙性戀認同之發展：不同性別者之經驗

雙性戀在社會中，常常是被忽視的，更不用說在性少數族群中，往往被「同志」一詞草率帶過，並且面對許多社會給予的誤解、標籤、甚至是歧視，故希望能更全面的了解雙性戀在認同歷程中所經歷的故事，進而了解雙性戀族群認同歷程樣貌以及處境，並分析男女雙性戀的性別差異。本研究從文獻檢索到深入田野，實際參與雙性戀社群，透過社群認識了其中三位受訪者，採立意取樣，最後總共訪談了七位雙性戀，從他們的故事中，抽絲剝繭出雙性戀所經歷的歷程及處境，並比較了男女雙性戀的差異。研究發現，在雙性戀所經歷之歷程中，會經歷五個主要認同發展階段與三個其他重要歷程，主要認同階段為(1)情慾探索、(2)困惑階段、 (3)尋找答案、 (4)確認、 (5)穩定認同；並且，歸納出三個其他重要歷程，分別是(1)發展親密關係、 (2)出櫃、(3)群找夥伴。而在雙性戀所面臨處境中，發現雙性戀往往面臨同性情慾被否定的狀況，甚至是同性戀也否定雙性戀的雙性情欲，雙性戀被貼上「花心」、「易劈腿」等負面標籤，同時被異性戀認為，雙性戀終會發現自己是異性戀。性別差異部分則發現，由於社會對男性的期待，男雙性戀的處境往往比女性更加艱難，男雙性戀者更容易被投以異樣眼光，導致男雙性戀較不願意出櫃，這一點與國內外研究結果相符。
