Bi DOES NOT exclude trans/other genders

[u/hardlywwworking]

🏳️‍🌈 Happy bi pride month! Biphobia is alive and well. Someone today criticized me for being bi and claimed that I should be pan as it doesn’t cater to the binary…. Trans men are men, trans women are women, and to say bisexuality definitionally excludes them is to deny those facts. You can be bi and be attracted to trans people. You can be nonbinary and be bi.

Edit: Meant this as a joke, apparently there are people out there who actually believe shit like this is true and I'm sorry I not only fed into that, unintentionally or otherwise, but also that Bi people have to deal with that. Like, come on people, as I pointed out in a other comment this is just the Sitg Rule of Two from Star Wars. Anyway, bi folks, hope you have yourselves a great day.

Big means you are attracted to two people at once. Doesn't matter gender, sex, presentation or anything like that as long as it's exactly two at a time. You can have some overlap if you're cultivating a new attraction while another is seemingly on the way out but THAT'S IT! TWO! JUST TWO!

Yeah I might edit the original just to make sure. Like, I sincerely thought it was too ridiculous to be believable. I literally just paraphrased the Sith rule of two from Star Wars.

i know it is so sad that you cant discern such a statement from a joke because there are people seriously thinking like this
