When I do get it, I feel like playing dumb is the safer bet sometimes.

I don't get it.
EDIT: OK, so ... a cis person sees a trans person ... and the trans person isn't passing but have tried to indicate their gender by dressing hyperfem (or hypermasc) ... and the cis person cruelly uses the correct pronouns in a way that is meant to be ironic, but then the trans person pretends it was sincere?
Is that the right interpretation?
Yes it is. I realized the meme would be confusing because of the switching POVs only after posting it, too late. Happy it was accessible in some way though :]
Like the other commenter noted, in my experience, presenting hyper* is not necessary for this to happen.
I think that's the right interpretation, although I don't think it has to be hyperfem/hypermasc. Could be something as basic as having long hair.
No clue what CIS unconfirmed means tho.
~~CIS unconfirmed~~
thanks, appreciate the sanity check on that - I really struggled to understand the meme, lol
Makes sense re not being hyperfem.
I had a conservative colleague who at a lunch table once accidentally misgendered me early in my transition. I was wearing a full dress (honestly overdressed), and he turned to me after and said "sorry, '''she'''" in this heavily ironic fake-polite tone.
I just smiled as if I appreciated his politeness 🙃
I get it though, I look back at those photos and cringe at the man in the dress I see 🤢
CIS unconfirmed.
