Bisexual Studies and movements, as well as investigations in the field of Suicidology, have demonstrated their concerns about impaired “mental health” and suicidal “risk” in bisexual people. Through productions of this kind, the article, on an exploratory basis, calls attention to the emergence of these complaints within bisexual activism. To do so, the scientific “senses” responsible for historically producing “bisexuality” are presented. It also presents how bisexual studies and movements have created and activated a new grammar in order to express their demands. Finally, the provocations focus on the limits and possibilities of this new grammar, that is, on how new categories can produce other perspectives regarding the demands of the bisexual movement regarding “mental health” and suicide.
