Hello Phillip,

I feel like I have to say this, saying stuff like that "#triggered" is insensitive and as Alfie said, pretty tone deaf.

You are pretty much proving Alfie's point by being like that.

(I am transgender, so I do feel quite strongly about this)

I feel this comes off as poking fun at trans people, women, and earnest attempts to combat what are actual problems in our industry, more than it pokes fun at the industry itself which is what a good April Fool should do - this feels more like laughing at "outsiders" more than laughing at ourselves.

I think this is pretty tone-deaf, in my opinion.
