The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Identity, minority stress and psychological well-being among gay men and lesbians (2010, unknown): “In a review of research concerning mental health among bisexual individuals, Dodge and Sandfort (2007) concluded that a major limitation of current research on sexual-minority mental health has been an ‘inability to distinguish bisexual individuals from homosexual individuals . . .’ (p. 31).”
Coping and Psychological Distress Among Genderqueer Individuals: The Moderating Effect of Social Support (2014, background): “Research related to other nonbinary identities has indicated that the high levels of distress are often due to a lack of understanding from others related to the identity and rejection from within and outside of their own community (Dodge & Sandfort, 2007).”
The positive aspects of a bisexual self-identification (2010, background): “The lack of identity validation and support may at least partially account for the higher rates of psychological distress and substance use that have been documented in samples of bisexual-identified adults (Dodge & Sandfort, 2007).”
