          @stephgwhiteside jokes about cats and internet culture are okay! It doesn't mean we are mocking Trans people!

          @BoingBoing yes it has cats, but it makes light of trans struggle. Humor should punch up, not make the ugly palatable with cats.

          @dnscollective @BoingBoing Humor should do whatever makes people laugh, not what coddles the smallest confused collective of strange folks.

          @BoingBoing Okay, but it reads as a joke about identity pretty easily from the outside.

          @gretchenatwood @stephgwhiteside @BoingBoing In your world, is it OK to mock some groups of people but not others?

          @RLSteffler @SantasTavern @gretchenatwood @BoingBoing People are free to mock, and those who object are free to express that opinion.

          @stephgwhiteside @RLSteffler @gretchenatwood @BoingBoing Glad to hear you say so, because so much strident "don't mock!!!" is being said.

          @BoingBoing @stephgwhiteside It was freaking hilarious and honestly it made me think of "Other Kin" as seen on Tumblr not trans people.
