You can mark a post that is humorous as Funny. You cannot mock another's views via the funny rating.

When I mark a post funny it is because funny is my first reaction.

Apparently, there is a rubric somewhere through which out sense of humor is assessed.

I see you identified yourself as male in your public profile. Please: tell us all about your genitals.

If you're not comfortable with this, you're always free to edit your profile to keep this private.

I am not the one waving a flag around saying "look at me, I am transitioning".

Right. Such things are interesting because they're so foreign
to normal folk those of us far removed from the experience.
I note also that the poster did not ask her him...he only asked of her him.
Btw, I though his their best work was for Vice (Gaycation), not in the movies.

Having some difficulty navigating the terms & pronouns here.
Just use "they" as a general pronoun if you're unsure. Page has stated that he goes by both he and them pronouns.

You can always ask for the Rubric in Site Feedback to make sure it is being followed.

I found your post funny. But I was told we can no longer mark posts as funny.

You are funny.
You can mark posts as funny - just not to make fun of people.
(Which often puts me in a conflict. Is that person making a satirical remark or is s/he really that dumb?
When in doubt, I assume the later. The chance for that to be correct is higher and it avoids being reprimanded.)
@Revoltingest, against his own testimony, is not dumb. When you find his posts funny, it most likely was meant that way.

Well, this is exciting and unexpected (although not shocking). I've been a fan of Page's for at least 15 years now. I had a big crush on them a while back, too. When they came as lesbian about a decade ago, they were a great representivr for the lesbian community, and I have no doubt he will represent trans people well. Congrats on coming out!
