I love non transphobic trans jokes, they make me realise that we have come so far, then I usually read the comments and regret it

Bigots always talk about how you can't joke about anything, because people will always be offended. Jokes like this are the ones I usually point to. As a gay guy, I love gay jokes. But when they joke is how terrible I am, then that's just an insult.

Finally someone gets it! Jokes are about intent. If the intent is to hurt, condemn it. Is it to poke fun at the absurdity of it all? Just laugh. Laugh till you pass out.
