Just a quick note to let you know that I'd rather you didn't drag my name into your mess.

Amoral worship

The comedy does not stop there, and it even goes so far as to insult the one who, in a certain way, is currently his employer.

"You haven't paid me enough to deal with the real consequences of the hate speech you refuse to acknowledge, Ted."

Fuck you and your algorithm-based amoral cult, ”she added.

In hashtag, Hannah Gadsby adds "trans is beautiful", as well as "comedy is dead", literally "to be trans is beautiful" and "the comedy is dead".

In his show, Dave Chappelle openly mocks the trans community.

He notably asserts that “gender is a fact”, before drawing a dubious parallel between the reproductive systems of people born female and transgender women after their transition.
