I'd be pissed my partner didn't consult with me to IVF morph my DNA with hers too.

~~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 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 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.
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.
Ah, the erasure - yeah, I totally missed it but you did point that out. Thanks!
Trans lesbians exist
We do. Most of us also fire blanks.
