• Current Gap: Visibility campaigns (e.g., Colle’s media work) have increased representation, yet institutional power (budget allocations, policy drafting) lags.
• Future Goal: Co‑author a legislative “Bi‑Inclusion Act” that mandates bisexual‑specific language in federal anti‑discrimination statutes.

4. Thematic Deep‑Dives

4.1 Bi‑Erasure: From Academia to the Clinic

• Statistical Snapshot (Reed): A 2022 audit of 150 U.S. college syllabi found that only 8 % included a chapter or reading explicitly about bisexuality.
• Media Illustration (Colle): In a 2020 content analysis of top‑grossing romantic comedies (1990‑2020), 0 % featured a bisexual protagonist.
• Health Consequence (Delgathy): The National Center for Transgender Equality (2023) reports that bisexual individuals are 2.5× more likely to experience untreated depression compared to gay/lesbian peers, a disparity attributed largely to erasure.

• Malik's Limitations: Viewers looking for Malik to be fully versatile might be disappointed. He largely stays in his "Top/Dom" lane (or receiving oral), which is standard for his brand, but limits the flip-flop potential.
• Formulaic Plot: If you are tired of the "two guys on a couch get interrupted by a girl" setup, the intro won't offer anything new.
