  Well I don’t think they “look trans” because honestly I don’t really know what that would look like

    So a meme mocking a guy’s looks by saying that he “looks trans” is… insulting to trans people because it’s saying there is such a thing as “looking trans”… and also more insulting to them because it’s before and after images in which the person looks goofier after, so it is considering “looking trans” to be synonymous with looking goofy.

    Make sense now?

      As explained earlier, the OG meme already acknowledged that it could be problematic. As jokes often are. Whether or not something could be a problem, and whether or not it actually becomes a problem, are two separate things.

      So yes, it could be a problem. But it also could be insignificant. It’s up to the audience to judge.

        Tell me where you see this acknowledgement. All I see is mocking a man for “looking trans.”

        Leaving it up for the audience to judge is how blatantly racist and discriminatory jokes get told all the time in certain places and people think that’s an acceptable world view to have.

      You are very good at intentionally ignoring the points people make. Have you been practicing?

        For decades. Most of you are not the brightest knives in the drawer, and I’m never wrong.
