It was so poorly executed that no one recognized it as a joke.

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.
