    Never would have expected casual trans erasure from smbc

    Yeah after reading again y’all are right, I’ve been super reactive lately and I think I jumped the gun before thinking. Sorry y’all.

    I’m leaving the comment though, I earned those downvotes I’m gonna keep em.

      I read your comment straight after this post went up and although I didn’t understand it, I didn’t comment as I thought I might have missed something.

      Checking back a few days later, I’d like to say that this interaction here is why I enjoy Lemmy over old Reddit or Twitter or similar. Thank you for engaging in the conversation and admitting that your initial take was a misread rather then deleting your post.

      I think you’re looking for something that isn’t here.

      I’m trans and don’t really understand this take. People are allowed to make jokes assuming cis people, but also wouldn’t this punchline still work if a trans person is in the mix? I’d consider it a unique challenge having to explain to ones relatives getting pregnant from their girlfriend

      This feels less like trans erasure than bisexual erasure? Because the joke is that she cheated on her partner with a man, so that makes her bisexual…and a cheater…so two blows against bi people, yay! Or it’s MUCH darker and the pregnancy was non consensual…

        I’m missing how implying somebody cheated at the same time as being bisexual is a “blow against bi people”.

        I’m also missing where the second “blow against bi people” was - in your comment, you said she cheated, so that’s one “blow”… And that she cheated with a man specifically, making her bisexual… What’s the second “blow”? Sorry if my reading comprehension has totally failed me here 😂

          The bi erasure is that the caption is that they’re in a “lesbian relationship” which is erasing the bi person. The second blow against bi people is that the bi person is the cheater, which yes, anyone can be a cheater. It’s just that bi people are often stereotyped as being cheaters because they have more people to cheat with. I do understand this is a silly little comic, this is more about stereotypes and thoughtlessness than about maliciousness on Zach weinersmiths part.

        I think the joke is just that they’re two women in a relationship and one is claiming they’re pregnant.

        You’re just reading something that isn’t there and getting yourself upset over it.
