      From the article:

      And finally, as Walz reminds us—anyone who thinks that period jokes are appropriate or funny is just plain, well, weird.

      Nah. Period jokes can be funny. The problem here isn’t a joke. It’s the anger they’re trying to stir up about the Boogeyman of transgender students.

        Any joke focused around a kernel of hate will fall flat with normal people. Humor is one of the places that intention is really easy to discern.

        Jokes made in shared struggle or out of affection FEEL different from those crafted to hurt.
