oh, I didn't think it would be interpreted that way. Now I understand what went on with all the notifications! apologies. I knew a transgender person at my previous work and got on really well with him! I can see I hadn't considered that aspect at all as part of my perspective on this one, it was all goat japes in my head. But I do see now that it's insensitive. I suppose from here, does it open an opportunity to cover this topic in a positive way?
EggLeon yeah when you point it out, hard to read it any other way. I think this is just a case of me being dense, I tend to do that. Someone was carrying an ironing board once and asked me jokingly if they looked good with it, I tried to think of something diplomatic and came back with "it makes you look... functional?" only realising how sexist that was after seeing their reaction. But I hope this is just me failing fast and learning from these experiences, this jam being another case!
I think I am not getting the whole picture, I am interested to know more about the experiences and reasoning that make up your perspective if you would like to explain please? I'm sure there are things here that seem obvious to everyone else, I would want to know what those things are if I'm missing them.
I'm... really not good at explaining... but I'll try. In my experience, most people who I've spoken to about transphobic jokes and that have been like yourself and didn't understand or never thought of the people they might be hurting. That's what it's like online, and none of the following has anything to do with you. A few days ago a customer at work called me an "it", and I had to stand there and take it. Actually, it was "He she it." They settled on "it". A co-worker misgenders me, deliberatly, within earshoot. They call me lovey to my face, and laugh about it when the customers misgender me. I can't go to the management cos what would I even say? The customer's misgender me half the time, he could just claim it's an accident as the management misgender me (accidently) too. I don't know what to do, I don't know how to make it stop. I don't want to have to constantly think about how i'm trans but I have no choice. With Dave Chappelle doing so well on his tranphobia and being "cancelled", and JK Rowling making millions whilst spewing toxic garbage on twitter about how I'm just a confused little girl, with the health service of my country refusing to change my name on my paper work even though I've legally changed it, with them refusing to provide me with the medical care I need with the taxes I pay. Refusing me the monitoring I need to make sure my transition is going safely. When my government considers trans healthcare a form of conversion theropy. I'm drowning in a world thats telling me that it hates me, that it doesn't want me, that it would rather I shut up and sit down, or die. It's a lot, and that's what it's like, at least for me. But like, you just made a mistake, but it's a mistake like that that can be the straw that broke the goat's back (haw haw) one more reminder, one more hit, one more person telling you you're fake. It's enough to light a fire in the belly. I'm... not sure that answered your question, maybe it did, I don't know. I didn't really understand your question.
@Chepley Thanks, Chepley, you're great. Someone said recently that they like your art and so do I. Beautiful desaturated colours. Your kangaroo character is very cute both in look and personality

Sorry I didn't @ you @chepley
It answered my question! you have explained it well, thank you EggLeon that is what I was missing. Apologies again, I'll take some time to reflect.
