Original Note:
This tweet is an example of metonymy, using the word "pronouns" to stand in for "trans people". The implication is that "we the people" does not include trans people. The literal meaning is obviously incorrect. That incorrectness serves to make it go viral through dunking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonymy
