The ONE time I heard this, I said it myself at the Gamestop where I'm a regular as a joke.
I was asked Cash or Credit, and I in a faux-outraged voice just asked "Did you just assume my tender?"
Then me and the cashier laughed.
The pun is great, but they actually didn't assume your tender because they asked what you wanted to use.
Yeah, the only time I actually heard that phrase in real life was at a transsexual gaming night, followed by a burst of laughter.
pls say transgender thanksies <3
You forgot "cis allies making fun on cis transphobes" which I calculate to be a larger slice of the pie than all the others combined.
Actually, trans is like 0.1% of the total population, so that sliver of trans people who say that should much tinier.
People have evolved stereotyping and assuming things cause it was beneficial from the evolutionary perspective.
Still is, people use heuristic thinking every day of their lives. It's not like we'd be better off removing that part of us, the ability to make quick and decisive decisions should be applauded. We just need to remember that the first conclusion we jump to is not always correct.
