This! This is the right response! Thank you! 🤣
When I was a fresh teacher, a teenager asked 'can I go to the bathroom?' and I was excited to finally drop the classic 'idk if you CAN, but you MAY'. And they laughed. I wanted a groan. Very disappointed.
🤣
Yeah I dont think I've heard of anyone saying this to make fun of trans people.
It's not quite like the attack helicopter "joke" although that follows the same ratio of conservatives/making fun of conservatives.
Helicopter joke?
It's not funny so you might have missed it, but people like to say they "identify as an attack helicopter". Conservatives, so "people" is accurate but a little bit of a stretch.
Oh right, yeah I've heard that but didn't think of it. It's not funny, just assholes being assholes.
The ONE time I heard this, I said it myself at the Gamestop where I'm a regular as a joke.
I was asked Cash or Credit, and I in a faux-outraged voice just asked "Did you just assume my tender?"
Then me and the cashier laughed.
The pun is great, but they actually didn't assume your tender because they asked what you wanted to use.
They assumed it wouldn't be a cheque
True, true, they still assumed a binary choice. Withdrawn!
You got a lot of nerve being right.
Yeah, the only time I actually heard that phrase in real life was at a transsexual gaming night, followed by a burst of laughter.
pls say transgender thanksies <3
I identify as an A-10 Warthog.
"You will never be a rea-"

You forgot "cis allies making fun on cis transphobes" which I calculate to be a larger slice of the pie than all the others combined.
🟩 me when accosted by an irate middle aged woman while exiting the pointlessly gendered single seat bathroom (I am a fully housebroken husband)
ETA: by housebroken I mean i sit when i pee and clean up anything left on the bowl or seat that flushing doesn't handle. It's just good manners
Actually, trans is like 0.1% of the total population, so that sliver of trans people who say that should much tinier.
This is accurate. Source: me and my genderqueer friends
People have evolved stereotyping and assuming things cause it was beneficial from the evolutionary perspective.
Still is, people use heuristic thinking every day of their lives. It's not like we'd be better off removing that part of us, the ability to make quick and decisive decisions should be applauded. We just need to remember that the first conclusion we jump to is not always correct.
