    Well put, far better than if I had tried. I do wish he wasn’t using his platform this way but I can’t help but feel it’s misrepresented. I watched the first part of this special for context and a lot is lost just reading the plain text without his delivery.

    If you think he shouldn’t be joking about it at all then that fine, but I think anything can be joked about and he’s trying way better than anyone else making jokes on the topic.

    And I hesitated to express that because I truly to do think I’m a good ally and I definitely want to be.

    Edit: I understand I’m not owed an explanation, but sometimes I do wish people would tell me why they downvoted. I’m open to being wrong and learning from it.

      I’m not offended, and don’t care if he makes lowest common denominator trans jokes. I just don’t find the reactionary shtick to be funny.
