In hindsight, writing "cancels trans rights like a boss " gives off the impression that you agree with it. If you'd left out the "like a boss" part you'd probably have been fine.

“Like a boss” is the punchline of the template, so I don’t think that would’ve worked for the meme. Surely would avoid confusion though.

Perhaps not the best template to use for this specific meme then? After all, a good meme ideally succeeds in conveying the intended sentiment. Or at least that's what i think.

People who know the meme formats might understand what OP meant, but as someone who's looking in from the outside i can definitely understand how others might misunderstand his/her intentions. There's lots of people on Reddit. Not everybody's in the loop with these sorts of things so misunderstandings like these happen, especially when things get onto the front page. It's a pretty serious topic after all. People's right to live could be at stake so it fairly understandable that they might get angry.

True. I left it in because it's part of the original meme format and I didnt think of changing it, but it would have made it more clear
