Themes and corresponding interview questions

Theme Corresponding question
1) "I navigate the liminal space”: Passing and invisible identities What factors affect when and where you decide to make your identities visible?
2) “I’m both not enough and too much”: Not measuring up and erasing complexity Some biracial/multiracial and bisexual people feel like others encourage them to choose a singular racial identity or a singular sexual identity. Has anyone ever purposely or unintentionally erased a part of your racial or sexual identity?
3) "I've experienced a multitude of adversity": Cultural binegativity/ queerphobia and intersectional oppressions Looking back over the past, what if any, challenging events or periods stand out related to your biracial/multiracial and bisexual identities? Do any of these experiences included instances of racism and/or biphobia?
4) “My identities help me transcend boundaries”: Beyond boundaries Do you think there are advantages or positive things that have come of being both biracial/multiracial and bisexual?
