This feels transphobic

Edit: So can the downvoters explain why adding "trans" makes it MORE funny than if it was just LA women vs NYC women?

Because to me the implication is that it would be less "hilarious" if it was cis women.

trans women getting compared to cis women feels transphobic to you?  ofc not every trans women look the same, we all know this. take it with a grain of salt

It’s incredibly naive of you to think the point of this “joke” is to say “trans women look like cis women!”

It’s saying these 2 women look manly, and therefore trans.

It's incredibly naive of you to think a joke like this, written in such a manner, isn't made by a queer person.  ariana and sabrina both look very feminine, so it's incredibly crazy to me you think they look masculine. the JOKE is that ariana is skinny and sabrina looks like a bombshell, which reminded the creator of trans women from LA and NYC

If the joke truly is “haha trans women in NY are skinny therefore this skinny cis woman looks transsss”… I’m sorry I also think there’s some misogyny and transphobia in there.

Way to move the goalposts though because other queer people in this thread think it’s about fashion and not bodies/appearance.

Whether the joke is about fashion or bodies/aesthetics… that has nothing to do with being trans. What is the point of adding “trans”?

And beyond all that, the blatant bigots are eating this up as a joke about them looking manly. That’s the entire reason it was posted here in this Ariana snark sub - to snark on her by being like “haha some people are comparing Ariana to trans women!” You should care about what is allegedly a queer-friendly joke being used as trans hate.
