I can see humor in the last three panels, but it requires you to accept the stupid premise that trans people are as oppressed as they think they are.
The problem with comedy and stand up comedy in particular, in order to work it relies on widely understood truths, expectations and audience experiences. That's why leftist comedy doesn't usually work, it can't just fire off a couple of jokes that rely on audience understanding, it needs walls of text (literal or figurative) to explain its delusional, unreal context.
But this is simple at least. Since the Prevailing Narrative is trans people are oppressed and downtrodden, it can riff off that without much preamble. So it's funny? Sort of?
Still reads too much like bitching though. You can't do stand up comedy if you sound angry and tilted, that's the opposite of funny. Unless you want people laughing at you.
