    I was told she’d only accept 1$ bills in the strap of her underwear but all I have is loonies…

          it’s not my herb garden it’s my spice garden. i grow peppers and herbs and apparently subshrubs (i tried to say that twice fast and pulled a brain muscle just a warning) in it.

          my herb garden has Herbie (short for Herbert), her twin sister Reginald, and their nieces Churro and Estelle (my wife insisted on naming one you'll never guess which).

          it was Reginald

      Surely I’m reading this wrong, because this sounds bizarrely misogynistic and transphobic to me

        I think it’s just different types of humour not hitting is all. Money under the strap part was her silly counter offer to me offering a $40 electronic transfer and the loonies ($1 coins) was my response because there’s no way I’d use American money.

          The loonies I get but why the strap thing, did you actually talk to her? There’s this bad stereotype that all trans women are sex workers so that’s why it feels weird

            I did talk to her yes. That was the response I got after sending her this post.

            I found it funny because of how absurd it was so I posted the comment.

            I definitely didn’t mean to further a bad stereotype, my apologies!

              Tbh I found it funny because while it is a harmful stereotype, it’s also a career we’ve often been pushed into, and it’s still a bold stance in many places for someone who’d admit to paying a cis stripper to admit to paying a trans one.

              Oh wow, sorry if I came off too strongly!

              Somehow loonies sound more uncomfortable than dollars here, hah

                No worries at all! Can’t fault someone for defending the homies as their first instinct ❤️

        This is why I love lemmy community so much more than reddit. If you think you are reading something transphobic you can just go “must be a misunderstanding.”
