Before anyone says "it's just a joke," jokes are supposed to have a little bit of truth to them or at least be funny or original. This is none of those. So if you comment something like that, prepare yourself for an immediate block. I won't reply, I'll just block you.
Transphobes have a knack for gaslighting, they try to make you think trans people are irrational or fragile when this is nowhere near true. I've never seen a trans person get mad at a cis person for accidentally misgendering them, they usually just get a little sad or disappointed and correct the cis person. Maybe about 5% of trans people actually do this. The only reason a trans person would get mad at you for misgendering them is if you were doing it on purpose, they've corrected you multiple times and you still haven't gotten the hint, or if it's online and they clearly have their pronouns in their profile. Transphobes want you to think trans people are trigger-happy, dramatic, oversensitive, hysterical people, and they'll spread their propaganda through seemingly harmless media such as dark humor memes. Don't fall for it.
