No, it does something. It conveys that it's shameful to be feminine.
Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he's so openly and proudly transphobic.
That's like saying it's okay to call someone a fag if they are a homophobe.
Context? On the internet? No thank you. I’ve made my snap decision and I’m right.
Yeah i don't think i would really like this sort of joke normally. But given he'd rather say his son died to the woke virus than admit he has a trans daughter... fuck elon.
Musk has previously described himself as an "alpha male", it will annoy him for sure.
Not really, it's making fun of him for being sexist.
By being sexist.
That’s exactly how Elon thinks which is why the tweet is great.
I think intentionally being misgendered pisses most people off.
Its not a misgendering. It is a mocking of his reverence to trump and cozying up ahead of the swear-in ceremony. If it pisses him off.. it's his own transphobia to blame. We're just encouraging him if he's an egg.
If the point isn't to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn't about misogyny.
Maybe, although I personally don't get that at all. Then again I'm not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag... Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit--not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he'd inevitably lean into.
Can we get a fanfic going about Elon's secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I'd probably read it, but I'd also be glad it exists.
