It means bisexual, as in being attracted to your own gender and other genders. Here’s a link for you to learn that bisexuality is more than just a gotcha you can use against trans people: https://bi.org/en/101
To me, when it uses the exact same rhetoric as the people who take it seriously, it’s not really a joke. Or at least it’s not a funny joke.
“Haha, bisexuality contradicts non-binary identity,” isn’t really funny to me because a) it’s not true, and b) I’ve seen cisgender bisexual people seriously put forth this notion in an effort to reduce support for transgender people. The “drop the T” movement has used almost your exact same language to try to illustrate through humour that trans people don’t belong.
I’ll admit I’m sensitive, but these phrases aren’t really jokes. It’s basic (and lame) wordplay at best. It’s inherently stale, like the “I identify as an attack helicopter” and “don’t assume my gender” crap.
Jokes are not for everyone to laugh at and you don’t get to decide what’s a joke and what’s not. As you seem quite concerned if this is hate speech or not, let me reassure you : it’s not, I meant this as a joke. If you still want me to stop, feel free to block my account.
You gave away your stance when you assumed that the person that was just providing general factual information and context was somehow offended by your comment.
This implies that you believe your comment can be understood as offensive and that a logical response for an offended party is to… educate people with context.
“You guys”? Were all internet strangers here, free to act on our own accords. My personal opinions are mine alone.
All that one person did was copy some dry factual information of something i though you where have a misconception about.
The fact that just reading a generic fact makes you think that someone got offended makes me think you where feeling threatened somehow.
If you have any logical reasoning why else you’d jump to that conclusion i am happy to hear it.
Till you do i keep my own conclusion which is that “woke” makes you feel upset and i need to balance an honest attempt at making you reflect on your own behavior versus hurting your fragile worldview.
Again, lots of assumptions. I just wasn’t pleased to read that my joke was labelled as a “gotcha I can use against trans people” (to quote it) as if it was my intention. It’s the internet and I shouldn’t have reacted. But feel free to assume what the hell you want, it seems you know me better than I do. All I see is a bunch of butt hurt people calling anything anti-trans/hate speech. What’s even funnier is that my joke is +/- exactly the same as the one posted in the meme.
All i see is sentence that makes no sense however i read it and seemed to be confused about the meaning of b in lgbt+
Providing dictionary description as context is a great way to avoid misinformation because no matter how common knowledge may seem there are always people who have yet to learn.
Me responding to you stems purely from how you reacted to this person doing what is just a sensible normality. And not your failed attempt at humor though.
Its often difficult to differentiate between serious and non serious on internet forums.
Something you can do is add /s to imply sarcasm so at minimum people understand that your not being serious. Humor remains subjective but at least you keep your dignity.
I legit read your “joke” like you where being serious and just that stupid.
Wait till you guys find out what the B in LGBT stands for

It seems you’ve been offended by a simple joke.

Piling on , your joke wasn’t funny. 50 lashes.
I agree that the joke went over their head, but I didn’t read that as them being offended.
What’s the joke? Explain it
Actually, it’s +/- the same as the one in the meme
Joke? My take was that you made a foolish mistake and where rightfully corrected.
What was the funny part supposed to be? That the B stands for binary? Grow up 🙄
How do you correct a joke ? Is a joke supposed to be corrected ?

Do all jokes have to be factually correct ? Can you please provide some sort of notice so I can play joke the way it should be ?

Burger
Baseball.
Biscuits?
Bi-scuits I think
I think most have changed to calling themselves pansexual.
You can be bisexual and still support the trans and fluid communities.
