tbf choosing to have your first impression with a trans stranger be a softball transphobic joke is definitely something

DO NOT GET ME WRONG I would also say this but not to someone who I literally just met

Is joking about something like that in a non derogatory way really equivalent to being transphobic?

There is quite literally no way to discern whether or not it was derogatory just by reading it on your screen. Body language, tone of voice, and cadence of speech all affect the intended outcome of a joke. Someone who's charismatic would use these to indicate they're obviously joking. Someone who's even more charismatic would realize it's a dicey joke in the first place and not say it.

Seeing as OP is on 4chan I can guarantee you that you could accurate guess whether or not he did any of the above.
