When I do get it, I feel like playing dumb is the safer bet sometimes.

A place to post memes relating to the transgender experience.
Rules
- Follow lemmy.blahaj.zone community guidelines.
- Posts must be trans related.
- No bigotry.
- Do not post or link to pornography.
- If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
- Posts that assume the viewer’s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:
[CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc][CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem][CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary][CW: Transphobia][CW: Violence][CW: Weapons/Firearms][CW: Disturbing Imagery]
- Mods can be arbitrary.
Because it apparently has to be said, this community is supportive of all forms of DIY HRT.
Recommendations
- Include other tags in posts for example:
[Transfem/Transmasc/Non-binary]
- Include image description when possible.
- Link to source

Serious question, why the [CW: Assumes Viewer is Trans] tag in the title? Like I get having some CW or TW but I'd assume that on a SM site specifically for trans/queer people (blahaj Lemmy), in the page "Trans memes", is pretty much the place to put trans POV posts...
What is SM?
Not OP but probably sexual minority
Oh my god no, I mean social media xD
Oh rip I’m dumb lol thanks for clarifying
I thought this was the correct way to tag since the community rules in the sidebar specifically request CWs for Transfem/Transmasc POVs.
The idea is that you tag content that might make people feel excluded if they're trans, but not the gender that the meme assumes. Or maybe conversely, content that triggers people because they get reminded of their transness and maybe don't want to / cannot deal with that on a given day and thus might want to filter memes that concern their specific situation.
I left it because CW: Nonbinary was listed as well, thought it may provide some value in that direction. I understand that you think the tag is pointless, should I remove it?
I mean, if you want. I don't think most trans people are going to feel offended, though.
I don't get it.
Yes it is. I realized the meme would be confusing because of the switching POVs only after posting it, too late. Happy it was accessible in some way though :]
Like the other commenter noted, in my experience, presenting hyper* is not necessary for this to happen.
I think that's the right interpretation, although I don't think it has to be hyperfem/hypermasc. Could be something as basic as having long hair.
No clue what CIS unconfirmed means tho.
~~CIS unconfirmed~~
thanks, appreciate the sanity check on that - I really struggled to understand the meme, lol
Makes sense re not being hyperfem.
I had a conservative colleague who at a lunch table once accidentally misgendered me early in my transition. I was wearing a full dress (honestly overdressed), and he turned to me after and said "sorry, '''she'''" in this heavily ironic fake-polite tone.
I just smiled as if I appreciated his politeness 🙃
I get it though, I look back at those photos and cringe at the man in the dress I see 🤢
CIS unconfirmed.
any joke where the joke is being mean to someone isn’t really much of a joke, is it?
