I used to work in a pizza place, and the head cook was from Mexico working on his citizenship. He helped me with my Spanish, and I'd help him with his English. One day, we discovered that jokes was a good way to discover any loss in translations, so jokes became our preferred method of conversation.

One day he said he's got a great joke, but he's not sure if it'll work in English, so he's asks to tell me if it works. I tell him to hit me. The joke:

A guy and his girlfriend have been together long enough to move in with each other. Being a new(ish) couple, they're still pretty frisky. Every time they're finished and basking in the after glow, she plays with his junk, just gently kneading the balls in their sack. After a few months, he asks her why does she always play with his balls afterwards. She looks him dead in the eye with a Mona Lisa smile, gently kisses his lips and whispers in his ear "because i miss mine."

He asked if the joke works in English. When i quit laughing, i said it does. That was 2006, and it's still one of my favorite jokes to this day.

This sucks. Implies he can only like a trans woman if he's bi and not if he's straight.

What makes you think there's a trans girl involved? Could just be a femboy. Also, there's nothing wrong with bi dudes liking trans girls.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I suppose that's possible, but the lack of clarity on that point still makes me uncomfortable. And there's nothing wrong with bi dudes liking trans women, obviously. I am a bi dude who happens to be dating multiple trans women.

Goddamn, dude. Leave some genitals for the rest of us.

Because the idea that a man attracted to trans women could not be straight is transphobic. Trans women are women and a man attracted to women can be straight regardless of whether they're trans or cis.

So wait, are they a femboy and not a trans woman then?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think boils down to "similar optics, different gender identity", but I'm neither of these flavors so I really don't know. But for this joke, I think either works.

Calling for assistance: we need a ruling here. Halp.

i would say femboys are generally seen as not wanting to be female, just feminine. Same as how crossdressing doesn't make you trans, it just means you like crossdressing.

a term sometimes used synonymously with femboy is tomgirl, as a mirror to tomboy, and you wouldn't start calling tomboys trans men would you? They're people who identify as female but present less femininely.

Thank you for replying. This makes complete and total sense.
