Yeah when I see these, I just imagine the corollary. Imagine someone photoshopped Trump into blackface, or just photoshopped to look black. And then they post it and try to defend it saying, "well Trump hates black people, so we're making fun of him!" While I get that, the joke would still be, "it's funny because he's black." Here, the punchline is, "hah, Vance is trans!"

Conservatives like to say that we can't have humor anymore, that there are some groups you just can't make fun of. But that simply isn't true. You can tell jokes involving trans people. The jokes just shouldn't be lazy, with the punchline being, "ha, this person is trans!" Trans humor can be done, and done well. Hell, trans people have a better perspective than almost anyone on the complex absurdities society's relations with gender. There's a lot of humor to be found there, if you simply look beyond lazy tropes of, "hah, get it, she was trans!"
