What's the actual joke here? It sounds like it's almost mocking trans literature by how complex it is to understand for the average american. Is that it?

It's unrealistic to expect people to judge your message on the merits of your argument if you're not taking the time to translate it into a language they speak.

Not really interested in making an argument to whether it's fair to apply this caricature here, but that's definitely the message here.
