Finally, A Comedy Movie worth watching!

If I hadn't know you long enough ... I wouldn't be comfortable enough.

Fair enough, Snarly. I'll give you a pass. 

There are several things that some here might not be aware of or consider that I’d like to point out. Not that that is going to change anyone’s mind or influence opinions but my hope is that it might broaden perspectives a bit?

First of all, as a person of a long ago transsexual experience, I come from a place of great privilege as this aspect of my life’s history in the real world is unknown outside of my closest confidantes and family. What happens in this sociopolitical climate of pro or anti trans dialog and rhetoric, isn’t going to affect me one way or another and on a personal level, I could easily ignore all of it, not give a shit and go on about my life as normal. I am not an activist or part of the modern so called “transgender movement” and in fact, find much of the narrative surrounding pro-trans activism to be ludicrous and obnoxioius and even the word transgender is not one I use self descriptively because it is overly nebulous in definition to the point of meaning everything and nothing at the same time and it has become a politicized dogwhistle to some extent.

But, some degree of tribalism is present in all of us often connected by shared experiences, aspirations or challenges and it is intrinsic human nature to relate to or seek out others with certain commonalities that may help to define our own experiences. I am not oblivious to the idea that transsexualism is a subset falling under the global transgender umbrella whether I like it or not therefore by default, even if marginally and as much as I would like to ignore it, I have connections to this tribe and it is hard to overlook the negative things socially and politically that are going on even if they don’t affect me directly but what kind of person would I be if I didn’t empathize a little bit with others that might be affected and try to bring something to the table even if it is posting in their defense on the internet?

There is a vast difference between the parody and satire from the likes of Mel Brooks, Matt Stone and Trey Parker (South Park) as they are equal opportunity offenders that poke fun at everyone and every minority and the likes of Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro and Michael Knowles, who has called for the eradication of trans people from public life, and their politically driven history and ongoing crusade of attacking the transgender community.

It is not that I don’t have a sense of humor or can’t appreciate parody and satire but in the case of this production, considering where it is coming from and the parties involved, it is undoubtedly driven from a place of hate and negativity using their “comedy” as a mask to denigrate and disparage trans people as everything they have done is to that end and inherent to their personalities and ideology.

My point being, consider the source and their intent which is little more than mean spirited putting down trans people, firing up conservatives and driving traffic to the Daily Wire. If you all want to be participants in that, go right ahead, you’ll probably even laugh if it isn’t terrible but keep in mind there are also probably people being hurt by it in one way or another and if you have no problem with that, more power to you even if I think it is pretty shitty way to be.

I've said my bit here and now am done.

Cheers!
