It makes it look like there’s something funny or wrong
You’re automatically assuming funny indicates wrong. No one here who laughed at that thought of it this way. The joke here actually is that this would be unexpected. Often this is the crux of jokes. It seems like you’ve internalized it hard that laughing = derision.
Why is it funny to you that I look trans?
It isn’t, I don’t know you or feel that way about any trans person. I see no reason to think anyone else thought that was the joke either. To continue my analogy, I see no difference between your reaction and “Why is it funny to you that some people have to wear a wig?” Other than because a lot of transphobes exist, it’s possible for a joke involving the concept of gender looks could be based on derision. Does not mean it is though.
For an example of trans derision masked as comedy, see Dave Chappelle. He went from my favorite comedy legend to a bigot within the span of a few “jokes”. He actually did what you’re claiming happened here. They weren’t even jokes, and what you’re claiming this was wouldn’t be a joke either. Since a joke requires a setup and the unexpected twist. Both present here, neither present in Chapelle’s “bits” on the matter.
