A transgender individual decides to fight inflation

A trans person walks out of Albertsons with a cart of groceries.

”Food prices are outrageous!” ze says reading the receipts. “That’s it! I’m fighting this inflation bullshit!”

Once home, ze puts on boxing gloves and jogs to the Marriner S. Eccles Building, which is headquarters for the Federal Reserve in Washington D.C..

A security guard promptly stops the trans person from entering.

“Excuse me,” says the security guard. “May I help you?”

“I’m here to fight inflation!” our trans hero says.

The security guard brings a walkie to his mouth. “We got another one,” he says to someone.

From the walkie, a voice says, “Bring him in.”

The trans person snaps. “My pronoun is hir and I wish to be referred that way!”

“Okay, okay, come along now,” the security guard says.

The trans person is led through several dark corridors that lead nine stories below ground.

Upon arriving at the ninth sub floor, our trans hero finds a long line of warriors who are waiting for the chance to fight inflation.

“Holy hell!” ze says. “How long have y’all been waiting?”

The warrior in front of hir turns and says, “I’ve been here for two months and three days. The line hasn’t moved an inch.”

“Well, I’m here for the long haul!” ze says. “I’ll defeat inflation for the greater good.”

After six months of waiting, ze finally got hir fight with inflation. But ze lost in the second round by way of knockout.
