Do tell, what do you feel “the majority” feels about trans people, if not what I said? At their most charitable, they don’t feel we deserve equal rights. For those in political power they want to push things like bathroom bills (which presume that every single trans person is a sexual predator, when not only has no…

See, that literally doesn’t work for the same reason that gay people can’t just decide to be straight. I was born as a transgender woman. There are physiological differences in my brain that cause portions of it to grow and behave more like those of a cisgender woman than a cisgender man. Science has found several…

I did watch it (honestly, I could’ve just read the transcript if I didn’t accept what everyone I know and trust was saying about it, but I’m enough of a bitch to be so fed up with everyone saying I can’t have an opinion without watching it, that I’d put myself through intentionally getting bullied just so the…

More than 100 years, for sure. And any time I see or hear someone being shitty to black people, I’ve got your back - always have (I’m very much a child of my parents, who marched as allies with Dr King, and Grace Boggs). Hell, I chose my current job specifically because it’s working at a company that directly addresses…

Are you or any of your friends trans? Because I am, and “humanized” isn’t on the list of things I felt about what he said, after watching it.

Not that he’ll read it, but to continue what I was saying:

Sadly, it isn’t safe to ignore them. The permanent damage to my left eye is evidence of that.

“I can’t be racist, I’ve got a black friend!”

I accept and respect your philosophy in handling people with no impact on your life, but you should spend half an hour reading up on what it means to be transgender. It’s not a problem, it’s just something we are, like how some people are gay, or left handed. It’s just something genes do sometimes. You came across as…

You should read the flood of notifications I got overnight on this. The balance on the comments swayed a fair bit...

Correlation is not causation. Show the data to prove that comedy specials are linked to violence.

Clearly. My first hand experience must have zero bearing to my comprehension of the issue, compared to a white cishet dude who watched some nonsense on Netflix. So sorry, I’ll just quit rocking the boat and wait for my chance to be added to the list for the Transgender Day of Remembrance.

Did you watch it?

Right? So many of these things boil down to “I picked a fight with you expecting to win, and instead you have a good point and I do not have the tools to accept that, SO STOP MAKING ME FEEL BAD.” Even if you can get past the built-in contempt for other people, it’s just so fucking childish and entitled.

But the right to speak out about it still is, champ. Why do all you freeze peach fetishists love the first amendment right up until it results in you or your stans getting called out?

I hear you, and I get why you may not see it as transphobic and bad. But your perception is skewed since the joke isn’t about you or your very existence, you said it yourself, you don’t have a dog in this fight, so for you it isn’t going to come off as an insult.

Oh ok thanks for the ‘splanation, turns out we were just Desperate To Be Offended All Of A Sudden For No Reason like we worry we are every single time we encounter casual aggression in our daily lives

Because standing there and telling ‘jokes’ about trans people’s lives and bodies and experiences all while complaining about how it’s trans people who are really just overreacting and censorious on your 5th very popular multimillion dollar standup special and then capping it with “It’s ok for me to say these things…

But many, MANY trans people do consider it transphobic. So their opinion in this matter matters more than yours, and you should listen to THEM, not your own distorted, ignorant perspective.

I used to love the Dave Chappelle Show. Though a few months ago I tried watching it again and honestly its not as nearly as good as I remembered it to be. It certainly did not age well.
