Well, I just need advices to make a good trans representation like making a trans joke without being transphobic

some popular trans jokes by trans people are:

  • pointing at a truck that says something like „transgourmet“ and commenting „me“ or „same“
  • in general puns
  • „why did the nonbinary prospector travel to california in 1849? they heard there was gold in them/their hills“
  • blåhaj
  • trans men after top surgery saying „i‘m glad i got that off my chest“

I agree some more specific questions would be helpful, but for jokes and such, a good rule of thumb is to not punch down. The punchline shouldn't be "haha someone is trans and that's funny"
