WTF?! Why get judgy over other's names? Also Mildred is a great name.
I took that as tongue and cheek supportive. As in, the friend is totally cool with their friend coming out as trans, but cants get over the choice of name.
Is there a name for that type of swap humour? Where you set up a joke and the punchline plays off the less obvious point in the lead up?
Bait n switch
Yeah. I guess that probably covers it. Seems almost mundane now....
Thanks.
it's a bit of a meme that trans people pick weird ass names. this one falls on the better side imo; usually it's a name you'd only hear in a bingo game
"Oh yes?" hides our names behind our back "you don't say." "Interesting..."
I think it's cute. I'm cishet so don't have authority here but I do think the joking about it is fine because this particular joke usually comes from a place of understanding, as opposed to the attack helicopter joke that's clearly made from a place of ignorance and othering.
It's like Jewish comedians making fun of themselves vs what nazis think a "joke" about Jewish people is.
