Everyone makes the joke with Professor Oak, even though Birch was the first Professor to ask (In Crystal it's a system message).

Don't you just love it when the punchline is simply transphobia

I personally think the sex-workers (both trans and cis) are often sexy as hell. Hence the title.

Trans culture is more accepted in Thailand which is why their red-light district is known to have more trans people. The meme is about the awareness of this fact from western tourists visiting the area. The meme implies he has a preference but it doesn't say in which direction. Not everything that mentions queer culture is mean-spirited Lileath.

I don't think it needs to be mean spirited to be transphobic. The implication seems to be that he is tying to determine whether a sex worker is trans by asking if they are a boy. There's probably a better way to word that question, but then it wouldn't fit the meme.

Ah, I see. Someone might read this to mean trans women aren't women. I didn't mean it that way but I suppose that makes sense.

I suppose the post title really needs to be read after the bottom line of the image - depending on the client it may appear above, etc
