Ahhh you're one of those people. Congrats on your misery. I hope you enjoy the feeling of superiority of being unable to comprehend that some people aren't interested in dudes who look like girls.
You're so close to getting it. You literally just used the phrase "some people" and still can't grasp why the joke is transphobic for making a broad generalization about the desirability of trans women.
Because you're exactly right: some people don't. But other people do. Which is why the joke is transphobic for implying that the reader will immediately agree it's "bad news".
And don't give me some shit about the author and their characters because you and I both know that these are one-offs and the joke is "uh oh you got duped that girl is actually a guy hahaha"
Trans people are very broadly undesirable. Most people wanna make babies with a healthy specimen of the opposite sex. Trans people scream physical and psychological trouble.
Also yeah, the joke is obviously that he got duped. Idk why you're not all singing the praises about how effective the conversion is and whatnot.
They ARE troubled. You think they're gonna get the snip snip for a state of being they're totally ok with? Fuckin listen to yourself. Build 4 walls out of dicks around yourself and call ME isolated. 🤣
But I can comprehend it. That’s the whole thing. Being able to understand that other people have different interests than me and being totally cool with it.
So I hope you enjoy the feeling of inferiority because you are totally unable to comprehend that some people are not interested in the same things you are.
