—The Onion

The 4B movement is a transphobic online movement originating around 2017 on Twitter, and from the South Korean website WOMAD.

Women in the US on social media sites are taking an interest in its tenets following Trump's 2024 election victory, hopefully due to a lack of awareness of the less trans-friendly aspects of the original. Hopefully.

Tenets

Their belief system follows 4 basic tenets, each one starting with bi (Korean: 비, English: no), hence 4 bis Bs,:

• No dating men (Korean: 비연애; biyeonae)
• No marrying men (Korean: 비혼; bihon)
• No sex with men (Korean: 비섹스; bisekseu)
• No giving birth (Korean: 비출산; bichulsan)

They exclude trans women from their movement, but not married women (who have broken at least one tenant, and possibly all of them), which just goes to show you that transphobia makes perfect sense.
