      He’s not an expert, but he’s not a bigot. He knows about men and women and he knows that some people identify as neither, so he knows there are at least three genders, but there could be more than one “third” option, so he doesn’t want to cap it at three.

      I don’t know if you meant you didn’t get the funny part or the meaning itself. I think it’s funny because it’s a question that trips up people regularly when British tabloids accost politicians with it. Biden didn’t really answer completely, but he cut through the bull shit pretty cleanly.

          Intersex? The person you enter during sex is generally the “bottom”

          In a traditional heterosexual scenario, this would be the woman.

          Throw in homosexuality and a Kleinfelter or two and who knows!

              I agree with what I think you’re saying here: The joke is more awkward and potentially offensive than it is funny.

                Thanks for being cool about it. You didn’t seem malicious so I was trying not to be too much of an asshole. Sorry for being snarky, I was arguing with some transphobes at the time and got a bit edgy 😛
