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"

They’re never going to get there ;)

Yeah, their truly bigoted attitude came out down that so I just blocked and reported xD

Probably for the best. Those people can’t keep a lid on it for long.

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.
