This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This joke is a pretty good punchline but you would need more setup. Mom working at a sex change clinic is a good start but you need a reason to make the pun make sense in both senses.

Genuinely don't get the pun, what is it? Non-native in English here.

"so sue me" is a relatively common saying meaning you think you did nothing wrong so you're challenging the other person to take you to court over it if they really want to litigate what you did. (Not literally ofc, it's a saying)

Sue is also a common name for a girl in America so walking into a sex change clinic and saying "Sue me" is a funny way to ask for gender reassignment surgery.
