He thought all women had dicks until he was 12 and couldn’t distinguish between feminine and masculine appearances.
I know I said this recently but lord, what a shitty, transphobic scene.
How is that transphobic? if you don't mind me asking. Because when i think about transphobic jokes i'm thinking about the internet in 2016 and Dave Chappelle type jokes.

The idea that genitals have anything to do with being a boy or girl. Like, if Blooma had said "sorry, some girls don't have balls, actually" then hey, an actually intelligent line! Instead it sets up a clear distinction of "girls don't have balls" which is not true.

The cis obsession is genitals is so weird and harmful.

Oh we know he can. Man has two fuck trophies to prove it.
... Right.
We’ve seen him use the bathroom. The river is his toilet.
Never once saw Goku taking a poop!
Bulma probably makes him
We've never seen it. This is head canon.

He thought all women had dicks until he was 12 and couldn’t distinguish between feminine and masculine appearances.
Yeah. But this is obviously before Gohan is born. He also didn't know what a car was at 12, but then got one.
Do people claim Z Goku was a clueless simpleton? I thought the common complaint was that Super Goku was a regression to early Dragon Ball Goku except he’s 40 not 12
This very question is targeted at Z Goku. Z Goku is the one who had Goten and arguably Gohan. Saying that Goku doesn't have it in him to get Chi-Chi pregnant the good ol'-fashioned way is a comment on Z Goku, or at ending of DB Goku--both of which aren't clueless simpletons. My point was that people are projecting this regressed Goku onto the Goku from Z.

Of course, the other thing is that part of the whole joke of Goku being a father was the subtext that this clueless simpleton who once had to pat people on the crotch to figure out they're girls now had sex and had a kid. That it seemingly wouldn't make sense from Goku is part of the whole conceit.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Dragon Ball is a mid-80s gag manga illustrated and written by someone who loves raunchy humor. Mind you, I'm not complaining, it's just that it's pretty obvious why you wouldn't find Bulma explaining pretty contemporary gender ideology to some hick she shot thrice in the head.

It's not 'contemporary gender ideology'. Trans people have existed as long as humans have, Stonewall was also a thing just twenty years earlier than Dragon Ball and, y'know, popular film has been depicting trans people (especially women) as deranged serial killers and deceivers since before Dragon Ball even existed.

Where is this coming from? Did Goku ever say that he doesn't know where babies come from or anything like that?

I'll tell you this much: Z Goku was a lot less of a clueless simpleton that people tend to claim that he is.
Blame Super for that. It made him stupid to the point for being legit mentally challenged.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

The idea of Chi-Chi explaining sex and reproduction to Goku is admittedly a funny thing to imagine, but there’s no reason to assume that Chi-Chi didn’t get pregnant the old fashioned way. Or at least, there wasn’t any reason to assume that, until Super established that Goku is apparently unfamiliar with a form of human intimacy that’s much more basic than sex.

But Super doesn't wipe out Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Goku was silly in those portions of the story, but he wasn't a complete idiot. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Chi-Chi explained it to him. It's unreasonable to assume that he just wouldn't understand and happily do it.

Again, Goku was silly, but he was more than capable of understanding the concept if it was laid out to him. I'd even argue that Super Goku wouldn't be incapable of understanding the concept if it was explained to him.

I've become inclined to believe that the joke in Super was less Goku being "what is kiss," and more just "that's a weird way to feed someone a senzu." Helluva lot better than being expected to think he doesn't know what a kiss is after 20+ years of marriage and two kids.

My head canon is that they have a fight with each other as foreplay and the actual sex happens after that and is more of an afterthought on Goku's part (He lets Chi-Chi have her way with him while he's mostly basking in the afterglow of a fun fight).

It would explain how Goku can have kids with Chi-Chi despite supposedly having never kissed her- Their foreplay is fighting each other, not kissing, petting, etc.

It sounds weird, but it makes sense considering they're both weird people.

They really screwed the pooch by making Goku confused by the kiss.

To be fair, that is a weird way for Trunks to feed Mai a Senzu. Almost expected Vegeta to smack him in the back of the head.

Chi Chi most likely initiated it.

Just because Goku is socially awkward and enjoys fighting & training doesn't mean he is asexual or impotent. That part of Goku's character just isn't depicted on screen.

What? How? None of that is transphobic, he’s just a clueless alien child, Saiyan’s are different from humans. This is why it’d be extremely extremely rare for a human child to act the way Son did.

Not likely picturing fully, but thought in a humorous way, her taking the initiative and possibly yelling, "SAY MY NAME, BITCH!" while doing the deed. (Picturing it with Cynthia Cranz's Chi Chi voice is much funnier).
