Overview
“I sexually identify as an attack helicopter” was a satirical meme making fun of trans identity and related, increasingly absurd identities that kept cropping up in the 2010s. It illustrates how absurd it is to identify as something you aren’t and expect people to go along with it (which is the entire backbone of modern trans ideology).
To this day, no trans activist has been able to properly argue against the satire behind this meme, so they all decided to call it “the one joke” as a sign of exhaustion hearing it all the time. Too bad for them “I’ve heard that argument before. Like, a lot” is not itself a counter argument.
This meme started as copypasta on March 17th, 2014 by a Team Fortress 2 User with in-game name Guuse [^] but has gone on to be remixed in various image formats.
Original Copypasta
I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
