Personally, I do think the comic is valid commentary on transgenderism and identity as a whole. Obviously, transphobic people would find it funny as they would interpret it as mockery. So, by posting the comic, you are bundling yourself with a bunch of bigots. However, if you look deeper in the comic, what is part of your identity? You have people bringing courts to recognize their younger age [1]. So, simultaneously, we have inspirational posters like "age is a choice" but legally it is how many times the Earth has gone around the sun while you were on it. Likewise, one can identify as a man/woman/etc (which is ok) but then it is unreasonable to enforce them to use the XX bathroom or the XY bathroom (monosomy and multisomy can use whatever). Anyway, I don't want to stoke a flame, just want to point out that the identity question is rife for debate. Funnily, without the public engaging in debate, I believe the world of athletics is being forced to resolve these questions [2].
