i think that theyres really a difference in how cis people use gender jokes and how trans people use them.
cis people make gender jokes like “haha I identify as a HELICOPTER” and it signifies that to them it’s ridiculous to believe that some people have different identities and navigate being nonbinary. it’s saying that they don’t respect us or they’re just ignorant.
when trans people make gender jokes like “my gender is hating high school teachers” it’s flipping the script, saying that they defiantly don't care about gender and don’t care what cis people think.
so when I see trans people rbing my gender jokes and adding onto it I am filled with love but when I see a cis person twisting it into hating nonbinary people I feel like clocking them in the face.
cis people can rb but pwease…no clownery.
