Transgender Jokes That Will Actually Make You Laugh

When you think of transgender jokes, your mind immediately goes to those hateful and sarcastic comments which crop up on social media links. Most of these jibes are born out disrespect and ignorance and result in a lot of people being offended. However, transgender people love transgender jokes as much as anybody.

After all, if you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? The difference is down to one word: intent. Transgender people have had to learn to make transgender jokes. It helps make light of an otherwise serious subject.

Recently, comedians such as Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, and Frankie Boyle have raised a few eyebrows with their controversial comedy subject matter. They have targeted transgender people and used offensive words in their sets.

This has caused quite a stir among the trans community, who were quick to hold these stars accountable for their insensitive material. As the old adage goes: if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
