    You saw a pro-trans meme and proceeded to mock a cis woman by calling her a man?

    Oof.

        Her name is literally She-Hulk. You serious?

        Names have origins. What’s your point?

            My point is that it’s hypocritical and rude to post transphobic ‘jokes’ on a pro-trans meme. I get that it’s fun to dunk on conservatives, but doing so with transphobic jokes causes a lot of friendly fire.

          That “an abandoned wreck or shell” seems very fitting for ol’ Marge, I assume…?

          Or maybe they’re going for “one that is bulky or unwieldy”, which would also fit… 🤔

            Maybe in a vaccuum this could be a reason for someone to call her ‘hulk’, but let’s not pretend like they’re not referencing the person in the photo we’re commenting on when they said that.

      They aren’t saying she looks like a man, it’s a reference to a pretty specific insult she was called in the house recently. Though I guess someone could argue that insult was transphobic, I’d have to think about it but I certainly wouldn’t push back

        Youre right that they didnt say she looked like “a” man. They said she looked like the specific man in this photo - Hulk Hogan.

        I understood the reference. It’s still not a great look for people to ‘dunk’ on butch women for being butch, no matter how badly built their bodies are.

          It was making a point about how MTG was mocking women’s looks to insult them by turning the insult back on her.

          Basically vocal self defense .

            “Turning transphobic insults back on someone”… is still transphobic.

            Would you call a black person the N word because they called someone else that first?
