Context matters here. I think the joke is that this gender-swapped picture would really piss off Elon Musk in particular because he’s so openly and proudly transphobic.
Its not a misgendering. It is a mocking of his reverence to trump and cozying up ahead of the swear-in ceremony. If it pisses him off… it’s his own transphobia to blame. We’re just encouraging him if he’s an egg.
If the point isn’t to misgender him, then call him first gentleman. First lady is misgendering him. It feels justified and extra effective because of his transphobia. But it isn’t about misogyny.
Maybe, although I personally don’t get that at all. Then again I’m not exactly a misogynist and do enjoy drag… Maybe I do want to see Elon in legit* drag after all. And I do mean something legit–not the diarrhea of frat bro tropes he’d inevitably lean into.
Can we get a fanfic going about Elon’s secret drag performance addiction instead of ketamine? I’d probably read it, but I’d also be glad it exists.
No, it does something. It conveys that it’s shameful to be feminine.
