"Transparency" would implode their brains, it's just too much of a word for them to even try to comprehend.

"Trans-paren(like parents?)-cy(what? cyanide?) TRANS PARENTS ARE GIVING THEIR KIDS CYANIDE!!"

A lot’s changed. Back in my parents’ day, a trip to the city meant taking the

Seems like being trans back then must have been such a gift. People would obviously hold you in such high regard.

No, no I'm pretty sure the bigots support the deportation of trans people... They seem to want to deport everyone not white enough, why stop at race?

Do you suppose stupid bigots will avoid transplants because they don't want to become plants?

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

You know what's weird? If you do a transplant between trees it's called a graft. Transplant was right there smh

[–] extant@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

They're fine with becoming plants, just not if it's trans.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 65 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I feel bad for transphobes when they have to go to the store and make a transaction.

All my plugs are male–male. I take all in stride:

ITT: figuring out that "trans-" means "across" by giving other words with same prefix. Yey etymology

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

“meta” also still means “across” in Greece

phérō meant “I carry”

metaphor: I carry across

they now use the term for “transportation in general”

here’s a modern truck in Greece for ΜΕΤΑΦΟΡΙΚΗ

in Greek, they use μεταφορική έννοια (metaforikí énnoia – literally “transportation sense”) to mean “metaphor”

[–] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Yo this is an incredibly cool looking truck though

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I want one that transforms into a robot.

5 billion people believe that God is bigender, which is often considered transgender.

Conservatives worship a transgender being. Transphobes cope and seethe.

God is also a genderless being who uses capitalized male pronouns.

[–] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

The data I'm looking at says only 55% of people are even monotheistic. Where are you getting that 5 billion number from?

I'm surprised any Republicans even drive vehicles seeing as each one of them has a transmission.

[–] abbadon420@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Maybe a pun is just a pun and you're making a thing out of nothing. I don't know. Context an intend matter.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago

What if I told you this post is funny either way?

[–] AngelJamie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It seems like being a conservative is just harboring an ideology that causes you to say things entirely devoid of substance.

Exhibit A:

Holy shit, you owe me a coffee for posting this, and a new keyboard.

Been a while since I laughed this hard.
