It's a stretch to say that's not a jurassic park reference with a raptor in the room. There should at least be benefit of the doubt there. If it were to get nuked, and you can make a argument for that, that last line shouldn't be the reason why.

I've seen enough of the "trans* person is just a [fill in the blank] in [fill in the blank's] clothing" thing from "The Crying Game" to Reddit to the various Chans and elsewhere that I read it the same way IICIH did, regardless of the last line. IMHO, it's better off gone.
Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment I'm treating it as an accident and Stanistani is a member in good standing.

One day, we will live in a world where you can make dick jokes about a transperson and everyone will think it's a dick joke and not a trans joke. One day we will live in a world where off color jokes aren't oppressive because no one is oppressed.
We don't live in that world yet.

How about a society where we've finally outgrown dick jokes? Then we wouldn't have to worry about how fucking awful it is to make a dick joke about a trans person.

This is humanity we're talking about. We'll learn to stop killing each other before we learn to stop pointing at genitals and laughing.
I'm not sure we'll ever lear not to kill each other.
Punch up, not down, is the cool way to aproach the comedy question. But the moral way would be "don't punch." It seems our method of humor won't tolerate that. Jokes need a butt.
Yelling bird will be ever happy about that.
