Out of the loop. I don’t get it.

It's a setup for them saying you may identify as Trans, then switching it up by explaining some news for you, as in something said in the news, aka a storm coming

Oh well. I thought there was a joke about being trans in Florida.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 4 months ago

Either option is a good reason to leave that state.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago

Yup. I expected the affected area to be all of Florida, just as the bill takes effect. Looks like a boring genuine one though.

In the years since this joke first floated out into the tubes of the internet, Florida has gotten specifically worse for trans people, to the point that your thought would be quite plausible.

Trans floridians please evacuate the storm, the rest of em can stay there

Ah. I'm slow. Also, "ha ha".

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 51 points 4 months ago

It's just a regular anti-joke

I think it's a big meme in the transgender community that if you are assigned male at birth and choose to be a female in videogames etc. it means you may be trans

Instead of "you may be trans", they hit you with a pretty scary weather forecast thank god I don't live there

Idk I'm not trans and maybe looking too far into the setup but I feel like equating playing girls in video games with being a closet trans is really reductive to what it actually means to be trans
