Aw dude did he say that?
Maybe he meant the more extreme people. You know, the ones who handle the rejoicing rejection of fucking everyone right now with a combative attitude and maybe a community we don't always understand. I'd be pissed off and would want to be taken seriously too if I was the absolute butt of the joke all the time. Even little kids are making trans jokes these days.
My trans bff is one of funniest bitches I know exactly because she's had to grow an extra skin. She says I'm funny because I'm "jewy dyke with depression" and she's funny because "she used to be a man." (disclaimer: this is just subversive dark humour, doesn't reflect her beliefs at all)
