Talk about a nut allergy.

[Ostap]

I don’t understand parents who won’t let their nine-year-old walk to the corner without a helmet and EpiPen and a GPS tracker. And God forbid their lips touch dairy. But hormone blockers and genital surgery? Fine. Talk about a nut allergy.

Hello to everyone. How is the boldfaced sentence related to the context?

 

[Tarheel]

It makes no sense to me.

It makes no sense to me.

But the audience was laughing as if it's a super punch.

 

[Ostap]

I forgot "nuts" could also mean "testicles". I think that was the idea!

 

[Skrej]

Yes, it's suggesting the desire to change gender is akin to being allergic to testicles.

There are probably other things they would laugh at that I wouldn't. (Humor is subjective.)

A super punch?

I think you meant "a very good punchline", @Ostap.
