I don't even make the chart? CIS father of a trans kid trying to make the trans kid laugh when they try to get my attention at the store by saying "Dad!"

When I was a fresh teacher, a teenager asked 'can I go to the bathroom?' and I was excited to finally drop the classic 'idk if you CAN, but you MAY'. And they laughed. I wanted a groan. Very disappointed.

Yeah I dont think I've heard of anyone saying this to make fun of trans people.

It's not quite like the attack helicopter "joke" although that follows the same ratio of conservatives/making fun of conservatives.

It's not funny so you might have missed it, but people like to say they "identify as an attack helicopter". Conservatives, so "people" is accurate but a little bit of a stretch.

Oh right, yeah I've heard that but didn't think of it. It's not funny, just assholes being assholes.
