I’m not sure what I’m missing here, but these accusations of racism/misogyny/transphobia make no sense at all to me. The obvious interpretation of the joke is that if Hillary had been elected, Bill Clinton (who has a penis) would be “First Lady”. It’s just a silly joke, it’s an extreme stretch to interpret it as bigotry, and I don’t see how on earth it merits a warning.
