Bringing up Dave is relevant because for him transgender people are a joke. But what transgender people have to go through in life is absolutely not a laughing matter. What Dave does is mean and it normalizes transphobia. It doesn't matter that Dorman was okay with Dave.
The person looking to break into the comedy world was offered to open for a huge comedian with influence who also just happened to have a transphobic image problem. Something that would weigh heavy on anyone's mind, especially someone that works closely with her community and sees the effects of transphobia firsthand.
And like I said right on cue the Chapelle defense force comes in "b b but she was ok with it, don't mention his name!". Ignorance of how self depreciation works and what people do for acceptance and how they can be influenced.
Fuck Dave Chapelle and his Normalization of transphoba, fuck his stans and fuck ALL the fake ass allies to the transgender community willing to throw them under the bus at the drop of a fucking hat.
