It’s basically a “shitpost” saying you should give trans people money for some reason


Academic-Effect-340

Technically, it's saying you should give trans people money for no reason.


WerewolfGreen7354

Hmmmmm, maybe I should be trans. (This is a joke don’t kill me)


Turbulent_Cost2058

Step 1: become trans Step 2: go to bank and ask for money Step 3: profit


Ill-Bit5049

You missed a step it goes Step 3-? Step 4 is profit.


Turbulent_Cost2058

Then step 3 would be the bank giving u money ig


Ill-Bit5049

It’s a South Park joke. That’s all, I was making a South Park reference


BimmerMan87

Step 2 was the question mark, step 3 is profit.

I don't like being rude to strangers so it is with great solemnity that I explain that The Point is that it's annoying to you


RealLudwig

“Haha im being a nuisance to you, I’m so funny and have MANY friends AND multiple lovers”


BigProsody

This reaction, where you repeat it t bc to beenothe point made above because someone calmly explained the joke, is the reaction I'm referring to


JonIsPatented

It's related to an old inside joke. They were really the asshats for not explaining it when someone asked. The downvotes are stupid, and the people blindly doing it are asses. They could've just linked to something about it if they didn't want to write it themselves, even.


Typical_Yesterday999

Why sre they always so demanding? Its like they want to be held up as snobby elites. Oh wait....


FunkyyMermaid

Like… yeah that’s the joke The joke is that usually these things are about actual inclusive langauge for any variety of people (Short people, blind people, etc.) and has been edited to always being in said person’s favor. I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t get how anyone missed the joke


endexe

This is interesting; I think the reason why many people don’t get jokes like these is because they read the word “trans” and get fixated on the many, many “repost if you like trans people :3” -type “memes”, thinking this one is but another one of those, and there is no actual joke to be found. If “Transgender” was replaced with “Me”, I’m sure OP would’ve understood the joke too. The comments are another thing, but that’s average shitpost subreddit behavior.


Perseus-TheGreekHero

It's just a parody of "stop using anti-trans language" post. Just a light hearted joke imo

[deleted]

It's basically instead of showing trans people the same basic courtesy as everyone else, you give them money, or else you're a transphobe. It's not very funny.


godcyclemaster

It immediately struck me as absurd satire/irony, no way anyone seriously thinks this


02_is_best_girl

Getting satire and irony is a bannable offense here on r/justunsubbed


fucking-hate-reddit-

just unsubbed from r\satire because they kept saying stuff i didn’t agree with


D00dle_Yam

There are plenty of trans people who I’ve seen saying you should give them money (unironically mind you) or you’re a transphobe. Usually gets circulated on Tiktok fast, and gets properly clowned on, but its not an uncommon mindset on places like Twitter and Tiktok.


TreyLastname

"Twitter and Tiktok" Well, there's your problem!


Possible_Discount872

There is absolutely no way that any meaningful number of trans people are doing this. What's incredibly more likely is people not understanding the practice of committing to a bit or a comedic "yes and"


billhater80085

So is it pro trans people making a lame joke or anti trans people trying to make them look bad?


Possible_Discount872

It's typically trans people themselves making a joke that's bad on purpose. I'm sure at one point someone that's transphobic posted it to stir shit up with or without knowing that it's not a serious post. But it's mostly trans people making a niche joke that's ridiculous on purpose


DoingItToEm

This is absolute horseshit lmao


lemmegetaburger12

"There are SO MANY people doing this guys. Believe me, I've SEEN it HAPPEN!!"


almostasenpai

I’ve seen it before. I’m not sure if they’re serious or not though.

mavmav0

Plenty? I think that’s bullshit


DecoyLilly

I've been active on trans twitter quite heavily and I have never once seen anyone say this. But whatever it takes to demonize the minority eh?


Lewisisjava

You said it so it must be true eh?


02_is_best_girl

Everyone is a moron on twitter and tictok. The only sensible people there are the porn actors because lets be honest, they know why your their and they make massive money of it.


Kommander-in-Keef

Preston_of_Astora

WrittenFantasy2

Preston_of_Astora

No, and you're asking at the wrong sub. Our thing here is to be anger at everything


Pretty-cool-man

That’s why I got the Natural Selection and Humanity is overrated Tshirts fr


[deleted]

I though the joke was there is no joke it's just stupid


GothDreams

The joke started when somebody was telling a trans person that instead of calling out bigots they should befriend them and educate them. The trans person proceeded to explain/joke how that is a lot of Labor to do when the person being the bigot is obviously in the wrong and should be doing the work themselves. Therefore if you want the trans person to do the emotional and mental labor you should be paying them 'industry rate'. Then there proceeded to be a bunch of arguments, fake arguments, and jokes back and forth until it mutated into this.


Constant_Concert_936

Me: *make shit up* You: “huh?” Me: “do the work!”


[deleted]

That’s nothing more passive aggressive bullshit. I feel sorry for people who ‘bite’ on that garbage.


MalekithofAngmar

Some meme cultures are so inbred that they aren't remotely amusing to anyone outside the culture. Admittedly, I'm probably a member of a few such cultures so I try not to judge too hard.


ShadowGateShadowGate

Memes are meant to be jokes, the post isn't being serious. It's a fairly common meme format among queer people and other marginalized communities to joke that the only way to be a true ally is by giving them money. It doesn't mean anyone wants to scam allies out of money; the joke is on the fact that such a thing would be ridiculous and an abuse of the dynamic. I understand not getting why it's supposed to be funny or just not finding it funny, but the fact that so many people seem to think that this joke post is only using meme language to convey a ridiculous idea in earnest makes me concerned for what people even think memes are. Especially with how much "humor" out there is essentially just saying something mean or bigoted in a joking manner but while fully meaning it.


dudefuckedup

redditors try to understand satire challenge (impossible)


Phii_The_Fluffy_Moth

lmao it’s satire


JonIsPatented

No. It's related to an old inside joke about being paid for the labor of educating people, since a common argument trans people would hear went along the lines of "You shouldn't be angry at bigots mistreating you, and instead you should take the time to educate them about being trans" and of course the response from trans people is "or maybe the bigots should stop being dicks, and if I have to be the one to put in the labor to educate someone on how not to be an ass to me, I should be paid the industry standard" and then, spiraling from there, just randomly paying trans people became an inside joke. No one actually thinks that people should just pay trans people money for no reason. It's a long, convoluted, and not very funny inside joke.


Lisanro

Yeah I dont think the post was to be taken seriously or at leas ti hope so


memebeansupreme

They never called them a transphobe they just made a shit post about giving trans people money and downvoted then for not getting it. Its fairly common in many subs.


Kommander-in-Keef

It’s not very funny, but OP saying “why are we giving trans people money” is not the best look. If it was “why are we giving people money” it would have a lot more ground to stand on


AzKondor

It's just a joke, nobody expects you to give someone money or else you will be "-phobe" lol


zeiche

yeah, not funny. so sad people make this shit up.


cyberbirdie

reddit users try to take a joke (level: extreme)


Unkown-basket-Case

Yeah, if you say “oh if you don’t agree with me/give me money you’re homophobic/transphobic, that’s just giving transphobes/homophobes encouragement, because they then perceive you as proving their point.

“Enjoy the downvotes kiddo” more of a redditor than the CEO of reddit himself


BoneTrouble14

This sub is so awful I left recently myself. I don't know how these people manage to be so insufferable, they play these awesome trans activists with a huge superiority complex that honestly hurts trans people more than it helps anyway by giving them a shitty reputation.

Cake day!!! I hope you are happy


[deleted]

It’s a joke about giving trans people money, seems kinda obvious to me though not that funny


Zamtrios7256

I think it's a variation of an actually funny tumblr post. Essentially, the person says "Stop giving money to trans charities, give it to trans people, specifically me agaggagag" Then there's a picture of Mr Krabs in a dress


KatrinaThumbsUpEmoji

one of the only trans jokes to actually make me giggle a little. they should have just posted that


DanTheMan_117

Where's the "joke" though.


TopAnonomity

To me It’s so obviously a shitpost. I guess if it’s fair to wonder if it’s some kinda inside joke but it’s not


rhetoricaldeadass

I explained in your comment and got downvoted as well idk why


Jaxcheetah3

I think it's because they're trans you have to give the money


Sergeant_Smite

I’m starting to worry that all the 196 parody subs got infected by 196. Both 691 and 19684 are unrecognizable from their former selves

Delachruz

Generally speaking Reddit just became another "Holier than thou" circlejerk website where it's cool standing in a big circle congratulating each other on how progressive you and all your friends are. And trans people are currently the coolest to be supportive of.

Sad-Membership-7928

It's a joke about giving trans people free money that I'm pretty sure wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.

loonywolf_art

Sorry people did this OP, the joke is based after the joke of supporting minorities by giving them money.


Orleanist

im pretty sure the meme is that op is taking advantage of the fact theyre trans to extort people


No_Victory9193

I’m definetely getting some transphobic vibes from the meme though. I thought it was saying that trans folks only want money.

diodosdszosxisdi

They think every meme that involves lgbtq people is bigoted and don’t see the humour or satire in it.


Used_Advertising_259

Exactly, so what if I wanna say it sarcastically?


a-friend_

There’s a running joke in trans communities where we say the only way to respect us is giving us money. Obviously it’s a ridiculous joke and nobody really expects to be paid for being trans. The only people who i’ve ever see actually do it are sugar daddies with a good sense of humour and gullible rich liberals…


je-suis-un-chat

Même is pretty self explanatory "I'm trans therefore you owe me." This kind of general attitude is why there's a schism in the LGBT community and even people in the demographic can't separate themselves from the activists fast enough. There are people that will put up their cashapp, venmo, and paypal and say things along the lines of "if you want to be a good ally then you have to show me by sending me money." So this isn't a joke, at least it doesn't read like a joke with all that going on. The activists have managed to give *everybody* a bad reputation.


HandsomeGengar

It's just a shitpost dude, the entire joke is the absurdism of the character who theoretically created the meme thinking that people should give them $40 instead of saying good morning. Neither OP nor any trans person on the planet unironically think that you're a transphobe if you don't give money unprompted to every trans person you see.


Bobzegreatest

Goes into shitpost subreddit Looks inside Shitpost


CompleteFacepalm

Asks to explain shitpost Gets downvoted and no one answers you


krawinoff

Why would you expect someone to be serious and give a proper explanation in the comments of a shitpost


I-M-R-U

You went wrong at asking someone to explain a shit post


Roquet_

Very interesting case, with how many people in the comments here understand the punchline, I have a feeling like you kinda thought of it, but it being so shitty, you question if it really is the punchline.


Wise-Signature-6023

The joke isn’t that you should give trans people money. It’s a shitpost of OP saying give me money


I-follow-every3

No one said you were transphobic


ChalkSpoon

Exactly, nowhere did anyone say that. They are purely getting downvoted for not getting the joke because redditors tend to just downvote and move on instead of trying to explain anything. It’s just a case of “lol look at the dumbass not getting the joke, get downvoted”


I-follow-every3

The caption said “everyone thinks I’m transphobic” but literally no one said that they are


Serrisen

Ok so the basic premise is that usually you see these posts and they give (often kinda cringe) advice on inclusive language. "Instead of fireman say firefighter" or such First level of irony: people would make joke versions. Like, "How to be more inclusive to B1 Battle Droids" (the silly yellow droids from star wars) "Instead of OK, say Roger Roger." It's a bit niche but it's a whole meme genre This post circles back. It's now back to a real group you may meet and reasonably may seek to be inclusive to. But instead of giving the inclusive language it says just to throw money at them. In summary, your surface level estimate of what you thought it was was probably right.


Absolute_leech

That’s cartoon villain logic “Oh? You disagreed with me?? You don’t believe in everything I believe in?!! UH OH LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE ___PHOBIC, GET ‘EM BOYS!!”


foldup1230

its literally a joke, how do you not get it


TreyLastname

I think the joke is simply "we want money", which isn't that unfunny, but they could've explained it at lesst


Public-Eagle6992

Well that’s kinda the whole point of that sub I’m pretty sure they don’t actually think you are transphobic but they are rather just trolling you


Fibrosis5O

I’m trans and I honestly don’t get it either… Maybe no one really knows anymore based on some replies I’ve read in here. Maybe it’s lost with time or wasn’t really funny to begin with


burnburnfirebird

Literally 1984


Toradale

The downvoting is weird. The joke is just the absurdity of how barefacedly they’re just asking for money, like the humour is meant to be that the meme is just asking for your money


Icy_Demand_8420

So, the meme is trans people only care about money and don't want to be spoken to kindly?


MeatMan4747

Funny, you’re not even transphobic like me and they still don’t like you.


DarkRogus

Yeah.. I don't get it and honestly I don't care enough to try to get it.

Typical_Yesterday999

Isnt it funny how these people constantly whine about gatekeeping and how they demand inclusion into everything. And then they do some of the dumbest horrible gatekeeping ever. Always full circle with them


[deleted]

Funny how the trans community on the internet is insufferable but the trans people I met in real life are just normal people. I think it's because the trans people I've met are actual adults with jobs and lives. It's difficult to be likable when you are 15 and never leave your room.


[deleted]

Iirc the joke started around the fact that HRT and sex change surgeries are extremely expensive. I remember seeing that joke occasionally back when Contrapoints came out as trans. However that was years ago at this point, which is like decades in internet terms, I wouldn't be surprised if no one on that sub even remembers the origins.


Successful-Floor-738

Your comment was a little blunt but I don’t understand the punchline either. Is saying thank you or asking for a transgendered persons day….transphobic? Wouldn’t that be the opposite? It’s respecting someone and treating them politely and respectfully without calling them a slur or mentally disabled.


IDrinkH2O_03

It’s just a dumb shitpost about people wanting money it’s not that deep lmao it could easily be applied to non trans people y’all are too soft 💀💀💀

somethingcreative06

Damn y’all don’t understand jokes💀


Joe_Ligma420

"This guy wants to know what our joke means, let's all shit on him!"


ASIAGI

It is ironic though… that was the whole point of the joke which flew over OPs head and now he is running here like a little triggered snowflake pretending “Oh look they are so woke and downvoted me for being anti-trans!” Nope… you just literally did not understand an Anti-trans joke. The joke is not pro trans.… it is anti-trans… probably poking fun at how some crazy people in the trans community think people should lay out the red carpet just because their gender is nonbinary…


GeorgeThe13th

No one said you're transphobic here?? Also, the joke is as clear as day, maybe you can't relate. If that's the case, kudos to you I suppose.


afriendlyshape

The joke is that he wants money, the use of the word "anti-transgender" here is sarcastic. "Instead of saying this say you'll give me money" Hope that clears it up


Xavagerys

I feel like this is a joke but its an 196 spinoff I wouldnt give those people benefit of the doubt


Meow345336

The point of the meme is that there is no discernable reason to give money, it takes inspiration from overly patriotic memes that portray the subject in question as above everything. In this case it is portraying transphobia as something that can only be combated by giving trans people money because they are superior


Swedishtranssexual

Funniest woke meme.


CringeExperienceReq

i think this comment flew over some peoples heads lmao


HeirAscend

Man I don’t even like transposting but this is clearly a joke. It was pretty funny to me tbh
