When it comes to speaking as part of a panel, discussion group, keynote speaker or workshop leader, it is hard to find anyone as competent or experienced as Robyn Ochs. Currently, Ochs tours college campuses around the United States speaking on culture related to LGBTQ+ issues and concerns. For, having been active in the community for over 50 years, there are few bisexual activists which have been as successful as promoting acceptance of self and equality among peers as Robyn.
An editor of two bisexual oriented anthologies and a Boston Bi Women's quarterly newsletter which has been around about as long as the activist, Ochs stays busy. Whether editing Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World or RECOGNIZED: The Voices of Bisexual Men, publishing the newsletter or touring, Ochs is always at the forefront of community involvement.
Robyn has also published several books related to the community, especially with regards to multiculturalism, women's studies and LGBTQ+ history in Canada and the United States. Ochs is also one of the only women to craft a definition which applies to most bi activists and bisexuals. While having crafted a definition, Ochs still understands that there are basically as many definitions of the term bisexuality as there are bisexuals.
The definition which Robyn has provided in several publications states that bisexuality actually describes any individual who has the potential to be attracted to more than one gender, whether that be male, female, binary or transgendered though not always at the same time or in the same way or degree. For, most bisexuals have the capability to carry on either a monogamous or non-monogamous relationship with all gender identifications.
The Advocate magazine recently included Robyn in a 50 Heroes 50 States listing which was in large part thanks to Teen Vogue whom places Ochs as one of 9 women which identify as bisexual making history. In large part, both honors were given due to the activist's ongoing commitment of intersectional, community and commitment based activism. Whereas, Robyn has also worked with other communities in building bridges and coalitions across different communities.
Robyn has also served for more than twelve years on the MassEquality Board of Directors, an organization dedicated to statewide equality. Whereas, the activist and speaker was also part and parcel to the LGBTQ Massachusetts Youth Commission for three years. The latter of which is most likely one of the primary inspirations for the speaking engagements provided to LGBTQ+ college students across the country each year.
In relation to Och's work on college campuses, one of the most recent awards provided to the activist is that of the Campus Pride's Voice and Action Award. Whereas, all the awards and honors provided Ochs show that the activist is respected not only by community members and organizations but others as well.
While other activists have made progress in the community, none have been working as long or as hard as Robyn. For, 50 years is a long time when working towards equality that still does not exist. It is for this reason that Ochs continues to work in different areas of the LGBTQ+ community and while in a same-sex marriage still strongly identifies as bi and pansexual.
