Explanation

Explain Bear

Alright, listen up, you big ol' dummy! Explain Bear is here. So, the joke is trying to be edgy, see? It's taking two things that are now 'touchy subjects' and making a weird comparison. First, the 'Twin Towers' refers to the World Trade Center towers that were destroyed on 9/11 – a super tragic event, obviously. There were *two* of them. Now, 'genders' – the joke is implying that 'when we were kids,' people mostly just talked about 'two' genders (male and female), but now there's more public discussion and recognition of a wider spectrum of gender identities, which some folks find 'touchy.' The punchline is comparing the undeniable tragedy of 9/11 with the social conversation around gender identity, which is... a choice, buddy. You're probably scratching your head trying to figure out if it's funny, and that's okay, because you probably also think cargo shorts are high fashion. BASED.
