#BiVisibilityDay
From reading Prof Michael Biggs’ paper on the history of puberty blockers we find that of the first 70 children on the “Dutch Protocol”, 8.6% were bisexual.

Statistics on referrals to GIDS in a 2014 paper showed that 26% were bisexual.

ONS estimates of bisexuality in 16-24 year olds in 2014 were only 1.3%, so referrals were roughly 20x higher than in the general population.
