You can’t win em all. But, yes, I realize that. I didn’t put a ton of thought into it. In general, that’s fine. But right now, when our trans and non-binary friends and family are under siege and lives are at risk, I will try to be more thoughtful. I reserve the right to make jokes that land poorly and ill-timed sarcasm, but I’ll try to do it less often on topics that relate to people that have increasing fear for their lives and well being.
I agree, my apologies. I was just finding the post ugly and absurd, and I was flippant with my sarcasm, so I commented while I was walking without much thought.
But I agree with you. These are times to be clear and direct about being an ally. It’s reasonable and justified to be suspicious when the stakes are high and the world seems dark.
I think my joke was too deep for you, sorry. Thanks for owning it.
“Anyone who doesn’t laugh is stupid.”
Bro your joke just didn’t land/wasn’t good. Don’t make this more embarrassing than it needs to be.
It’s a lemmy thread, I’ll be OK! I do appreciate your concern though.
It was so poorly executed that no one recognized it as a joke.

If you keep thinking you’re hearing “dog whistles” everywhere, even among allies, you’re going to slowly go bonkers.

I still don’t get it. How is it a joke?

What? Race is a social construct that has very little to do with biology. If that’s the joke, it shows lack of education at best.
