I don’t think the distinction between poster and meme creator is particularly meaningful here. I also think that OP may have meant well. What exactly this meme is making fun of isn’t as clear as you make it out to be. It seems like a somewhat lazy setup(which is fine, not hating on shitposting) for the punchline more than something directed at sex tourists, to me anyway. The downvotes that lileath got were probably unwarranted, because there is a discussion to be had about the transphobia in this meme.
Edit. Especially because the punchline is literally transphobia, whether intended by OP/ meme creator or not.
The meme’s punchline is that a tourist is transphobic. That’s not funny if the meme’s author is transphobic. It’s only funny if the author is laughing with us, at the tourist. I think the meme is supposed to be funny, so whatever is funny must be true
