I finally came out and told my father I was trans.

He bluntly replied, "You're not my son anymore."

I said, "Thanks for being so understanding, dad."

Joke is fine. Immediately explaining it is a no-no

For a sensitive topic and on an Internet forum where you have to scroll down and actively decide to read comments about the joke, it’s fine.

You kinda have to on reddit. Cuz the low iq will downvote you and your post gets lost

And here I immediately thought it was a lame “women eat salad” joke and not phonetic wordplay.

Yea, but this joke was already basically posted a few days ago as an Elliott Page joke. It also had to be explained, like you're doing here. All the groans and eye rolls will be the same as a result.

We get it, it's just that it's been reposted daily for the last week or two.

The joke was:

Before he was a her-before (herbivore)

That's a solid ass joke and should not have been removed!

It was also a repost from a few days ago. I think there’s a sub rule about that.

Next time write "her-before" otherwise it comes off as a boomer joke about women eating salads

Well in ten years when you grow out of you offended on behalf of everyone stage you might be able to enjoy simple jokes

Ahhh yes, the boomer that enjoys punching down. This isn't the 90s. Grow up and stop being a bully. It isn't funny to make fun of people that already suffer so much

They removed i,t see -- I liked it but certain things you aren't allowed to joke about these days

Friendly_Physics_690 t1_iu92le4 wrote

This isn’t a transphobic joke. In fact, it is actually quite progressive. It uses the correct pronouns for the man who has transitioned and it is accurate to say before someone transitioned that they were a her in the past (assuming that the person did at one point in their life refer to them self has she/her.

I don’t like transphobic jokes at all but this isn’t one of them

It doesn't have to be transphobic for the online mob to falsely declare it is and target op.

Friendly_Physics_690 t1_iu968qy wrote

Not a single person has commented saying it’s transphobic. I think you have the wrong end of the stick here thinking people are going to hate.

I feel like this shows that you have a lack of understand on what is or isn’t transphobic and the damage that actual transphobia can cause with this comment

I agree with you, but you see it has been removed -- certain things you are not allowed to joke about these days, or get censored

eats popcorn waiting for the woke cult to see this and twist it to make it seem offensive.

I promise you trans people aren't offended by this

-sincerely, a trans guy

rivs265 t1_iu979sn wrote

My trans friends normally can take a joke, it's the entitled white people with blue hair that decide what is offensive lol

dr_steinblock t1_iu9fraf wrote

I used to have blue hair and I still would have found this funny back then.

If people are saying someone is transphobic, it's not for jokes like this, it's for being transphobic.

I don't know why you think "woke" people think this is offensive. There is nothing wrong with this joke.

You were the only one who commented anything about this being potentially offensive
