BisexualImagine being so deep in a cult that you believe that the Latin word for "two times" doesn't mean two. All while ignoring evidence.

Literally the most fuckign basic google search tells me that "binary" comes from "binarius" meaning "composed of two things." There is nothing about "dichotomy" or "opposites" (considering that's "trans"!). It is used more colloquially to mean "two options", hence, "gender binary." Also, just cause I was curious, "dimorphism" derives from the Greek "two" and "forms." Hence humans are sexually dimorphic, that is, having two sexual forms.

Bicolor, bicycle, binary, bimodal, bilateral, bilingual... Always two things.

I'm double (heh) enraged because my main language is Italian, and I know pretty well the meaning of that prefix.

These people are trying to change half vocabulary because some people can't accept reality. I'm speechless.

And near the end they are saying "it means two, but not number two". And even saying about "dichotomy" they are still referring to "two".

"Bi doesnt mean the number it, it means something else which means the number two"

"yes, a dichotomy means two things, but it does not mean the literal number two"

Well, no shit. It means two items, not the word or arabic numeral that we associate with the dichotomy: 2 two

How mentally agile are they to do all this mental gymnastics to validate their disorders?

What absolutely enrages me (as someone interested in foreign languages) is these woke fucks running around that clearly don't know a WORD of a foreign language trying to force every language that ever existed to conform not only to English, but to English politics. They think they're some philosopher-God that can create reality by speaking, yet they can't even be bothered to respectfully learn another language and understand a different culture. So selfish imo.

Ah yes, two is in the definition, therefore the word must always and only mean literally the number two, right?

Please, quit being less dense. And maybe stow the condescension, especially when you're wrong.

Yeah, of course, words have no meaning anymore in their magic cult. Orwellian.
