| > I was hoping for some raunchy limericks or something. Yay because being trans is all about being raunchy hey ho! OK, here's my own joke. I'm trans and this is a trans joke taken from, like, life, dude. There's this guy sitting with four ladies and another
guy and he starts saying how he knows a tranny when he sees one. "I mean, they all have like, what, size-7 feet? I mean come on, it's so
obvious!" "I got size 7 feet" says one of the ladies. The guy blinks once, then goes on: "And their hands! Have you seen their hands? They're like two times the size of
my hands!" The second lady holds up her hands. "My hands are bigger than your hands". The guy pauses for a mere second and goes on. "But the dead give-away is their voices. They have loud, booming, bass
voices..." "I can sing in the entire baritone vocal range" says the third lady. The guy stops, clears his throat, looks around, then leans in conspiratorially. "You know what's the real way to tell a trannie apart? They can explain the
offside rule in soccer". "That's easy" says the fourth lady. "A player is in an offside position if any
of their body parts, except the hands and arms, are in the opponents' half of
the pitch, and closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the
second-last opponent". The guy is now sweeating bricks. He turns to look at each of them carefully. "OK" he says. "Was even a single one of you born female"? "Sure" says the other guy. "I was". Badum-tish. |
To be fair, while that is a common attitude toward trans identity, it’s also a common attitude toward humor (that is, lots of people equate good jokes with raunchy ones.) It’s hard to tell which consideration is in play.

<ex-ref> But that is just explaining offside position, which is only part of the offside rule. </ex-ref>
