I am frustrated as a trans person because you came into a trans space, on a trans run server, to complain about how a meme wasn’t nice enough in a jokey criticism of cis men’s fragile masculinity. It shows you have an ignorance of what it is like to be trans right now in the current political climate, both in the US and Europe, and you are not listening to trans people trying to explain to you why this is not the same as a racist joke.
Trying to remove all context and dissect it and weigh it like a specimen to be analyzed is not a virtue. It doesn’t make you smarter or more fair, it just makes you blind to the actual people and communities this meme is aimed at.
