Professor Tania Israel from the Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology at UC Santa Barbara's Gevirtz School, presents the TEDxUCLA Talk "Bisexuality and Beyond" on May 30, 2015.
Binary systems are so easy for us humans and for that matter computers. The problem with such thinking is it leaves lots of things out, and in leaving lots of things out, lots of opportunities and understandings are missed. Tania Israel takes us to a non-binary world while she talks about her idea of pi-sexuality.
