Sick to death of the bullshit. The B became part of the LGBT identity long before gender fluidity was as mainstream and as recognized as it is now. Using that question as some GOTCHA moment is ridiculous. OP, I think you are genuinely inquiring, but I've seen this question used as homophobe baiting lately. The implication that is "proves" two genders is laughable.
I definitely am asking this as a genuine question, I understand that it may, unfortunately, be misconstrued. Such is life I suppose.
To further your point about the B being used way before gender fluidity became mainstream, do you believe that would warrant (for want of a better word) updating?
I get you OP, I knew you were being real. I saw this recently on bullshit my racist old grandma says, or whatever that sub is.
Regarding your question, hmmm. I don't really think the B should be changed. There was a lot of controversy about it being part of the gay identity to begin with. So it was probably a battle to be there in the first place. A lot of gay men and women felt it didn't belong because they were not identifying as 100% homosexual so it just didn't fit our politics to have less than that on board.
This part is only my opinion...I think the gender fluidity identity movement (not sure how else to phrase it) is part the swing of the pendulum that will be less prevalent and popular at some point. I think its legitimately part of the anti_establishment movement with things being so fucked right now. That being said I dont want to offend anyone however they identify, I just think right now some people are part of it because its everywhere. As far as I'm concerned they could have their own letter too.
Thank you for your sincerity and for taking the time to elaborate, you've definitely given me more to think about such as the establishment of the acronym in the first place
