transphobia :<
I have to ask because I live under a rock and can’t tell; Is this type of joke legitimately considered transphobic?
I don't think there were any bad intentions on OP's end, but the highlighted claim that a person is female and therefore has this or that genitalia is indeed transphobic.
Someone's probably going to show up and say "but it says 'female', not 'woman'!" Well, "female" as an adjective referring to people already means woman. A female doctor is a doctor who is a woman. And "female" as a noun (e.g., "the females") is a terrible way to refer to people, to begin with.
Also to mention this isn't the type of transphobia where people dehumanize or call trans people slurs and the like. It's the far more annoying subtle transphobia where our existence isn't aknowladged
