I can theoretically see where the ‘all elves are women’ joke comes from with them all being smooth in some form. But it’s never really gotten a laugh out of me. I always assumed when I was a kid it was just ‘grown-up humor’ that i’d get when I was older but even now that i’m an adult, unlike a lot of jokes that confused me when I was a kid (the Finger-prints bit in animaniacs comes to mind), it’s never struck.<\/p>\n
If you’ll pardon the brief reference to my identity, maybe it’s just a cultural difference. As a trans person my idea of a funny gender joke is apparently pretty different than what a cis person thinks is a funny gender joke. In part because our perceptions of gender as a whole are often fundamentally different*.<\/p>\n
*this is a vaugue generalization for the purpose of simplification. Not all cis people percieve gender in the same way there’s lots of factors ect ect. But if I walked up to my coworker and told him I was going to the gender store for a return he’d look at me like I’d just lost my mind. So that’s what i’m going off of here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
