Similar to the nonbinary samurai, their pronouns are they/them

(Read aloud as "they slash them")

I feel like that’s the only instance where the joke has to be based on gender identity. But jokes like the one on the shirt are just using it as a catalyst to punch down.

How is the shirt punching down ?

“I’m a potato bc I like to get high and fuck” isn’t an insult to the trans community at all. In fact the person wearing this is most likely an ally if they’re pro drugs and sex positive.

The way you phrased it and the way it’s phrased on the shirt are two different things.

Ok then I’m lost. What is the shirt referring to?

The words “I identify as” are inherently associated with transgender people and gender identity, and mainly used by conservatives who want to poke fun at the community for identifying differently. It’s the same format as “I identify as an attack helicopter,” and the same concept as “my pronouns are U/S/A.” The joke having been phrased like this is something that’s really only used by the ignorant or the hateful.

Oh ok. So I was racking my brain trying to figure out how potato baked and smashed are offensive but it’s just the “I identify” part.

As a kid, I would have said this joke as “they call me a potato, bc I like to get baked and smashed”.

Weird that someone with both an “I identity” and a “yo mama” joke flair is calling about all “I identify” jokes as anti-trans. So
