“A phenomenal asset to the queer community and an extraordinary advocate for love.”
-Michelle Wheeler, Student, St. Olaf College

Robyn has probably done more than any other person in the U.S. and perhaps even the world to educate the general public about bisexuality.

Genny Beemyn, Director of the Stonewall Center, UMass Amherst

You make people feel like they matter and that they have the power to do something about the issues that concern them, even if it’s something small on an individual level. That is a beautiful gift.

Kristen Smith, student, The University at Albany

Robyn Ochs can help you put the B into LGBT… As someone poised at the intersection of theory and action, Ochs introduces complex ideas in an energetic and accessible manner, and she leaves her audiences thinking and poised for action.

Generation EQ, Human Rights Campaign

Robyn’s workshop was tremendously informative and engaging, and it has stuck with me for years… participants see what genuine diversity and fluidity look[s] like. The result is a rejection not only of the notion of binaries but of the dominant societal narratives about orientation.

Paul Lucas, Playwright, Trans Scripts

The students LOVE you. You are by far the most anticipated recurring event next to the drag show. Sorry, the queens always win out!!

Emily Calfo, Florida Gulf Coast University

[An] incredibly phenomenal, amazing, insightful, creative, and genuine educator… by far one of the most intelligent, thought provoking, and engaging people I’ve ever met.

The absolute empress of sexual fluidity.

Kate Bornstein

Thank you for an evening that expanded me beyond my expectations… I am still figuring out where/what/who I am as it relates to my sexuality. Last night was a compassionate compass.

Shelly Daniels

I just wanted to thank you personally for the workshop last night. It was one of those things that change the way you look at the world in general, and that doesn’t happen very often.

Ryan Thoreson, Harvard University

The word was, ‘She’s REALLY cool.’ It does my heart good for our students to be exposed to such positive role models, and you fit the bill quite nicely. Also, your workshop really opened some minds, some in particular that really needed opening.

Professor Charles LoPresto, Loyola University

Your presentation in my class was everything I had hoped it would be: thought-provoking and important in a very accessible way. You do such great educational work!!

Anne Phibbs, University of Minnesota

One person described their time with you as being at an ‘LGBTQ spa,’ so I think it’s safe to say that you recharged a lot of batteries and renewed and refreshed the spirits of our faculty and students. Thank you.

Kimberly, University of Illinois Springfield

Robyn has an uncanny ability to make you feel loved and safe while talking about really hard hitting topics.”
