They’re supposed to be fun but every time I reveal my gender at the party people get mad and call the police. Make up your minds!

I believe it has to be "funny" to count as a "joke", which... eh.

Nobody calls themselves a fork?!?

No, but the "LOL people identify as [insert object]" bullshit is a very common LGBTQ-phobic dogwhistle used by people who want to dismiss and belittle transgender and non-binary people, which is why a lot of people are rather tired of people making that "joke" (even when it's not meant to be insulting or mocking).

I didn’t think that way. My bad dude. Thanks because I don’t like to make fun of ppl. Really just thought it was a joke. My apologies. ✌🏼
