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.

Ah, the erasure - yeah, I totally missed it but you did point that out. Thanks!
