About
The Minecraft Bee Is Trans refers to a parody fan theory that the Minecraft Bee which was released in the August 22nd, 2019 Minecraft update is transgender. After the user who posted the theory on Twitter blocked anyone who replied to them with "how?", other Twitter and Reddit users got in on the joke by insisting the Minecraft bee was transgender and various other sexualities and genders. The format saw further spread as X Is Trans snowclone.
Origin
On August 23rd, 2019, Twitter user @Ezramouse, now deleted, posted "The Minecraft Bee is trans." Twitter user @wormscrazygolf[1] tweeted "how," kicking off a surge in people replying to the original tweet saying "how." @Ezramouse then blocked @wormscrazygolf, changed their account name, and locked it.

Precursor
Bees and Minecraft were independently memes in the trans community prior to the release of Minecraft Bees. This is in part to Minecraft fans disowning creator Notch for various anti-trans comments.[5] Bees are the subject of the subreddit /r/TraaButOnlyBees,[6] a takeoff on the /r/traaaaannsss transgender shitposting subreddit.
Spread
After @wormscrazygolf tweeted the interaction, gaining over 16,000 retweets and 80,000 likes,[2] other Twitter users began to jump in on the joke, insisting that the Minecraft bee is transgender without providing evidence as a means of trolling. A different user took the handle @Ezramouse[3] and began tweeting and retweeting jokes about the bee being trans or various other identities. For example, Twitter user @Cooltastic made a joke that the bee is Muslim and photoshopped an image of it going on Haj, gaining over 460 retweets (shown below, left). User @Sheepology photoshopped the bees in front of the LGBT and Trans community flags, joking that they were dating, gaining over 200 retweets (shown below, right).

The jokes led to /r/TraaButOnlyBees, a takeoff on the /r/traaaaannsss subreddit, seeing several posts about the Minecraft bees. User woodstock1aj made a "lesbian bee," gaining over 200 points (shown below, left). The same user made a trans-flag colored bee, gaining over 380 points (shown below, right). The jokes were covered by Daily Dot.[4]

HOW
HOW refers to a textual reaction commonly used to express a high degree of incredulity. Originally used as a part of Illegal Minecraft Building Techniques memes in early 2019, in August 2019 the meme received negative undertones on Twitter after being used as a response to Minecraft Bee Is Trans arguments and trans-related posts in general.
