When you share this image, you are blindly repeating one of the most unapologetic, vile pieces of transphobia ever uttered on television. Spitting on Brandon Teena's grave for Internet points. I'm posting this because I still see it randomly posted without any context.
They've since apologized for it, but back then even guys like Patton Oswalt and Jon Stewart said some foul transphobic shit. Despite there being evidence to the contrary there was still a lot of belief that it was just a weird kink and nothing more.
that still means he meant people with a weird kink should die
Also, in general I think there was still some uncertainty about how to talk about it and language was still being developed.
Oswalt is good buddies with A. Wyatt Man so
Yes, and in fairness, McDonald had also later apologised for his past transphobia and changed his mind. It doesn't make it right that it happened, but it's better than never changing a bad thing.
yeah but patton oswalt and jon stewart eventually changed course. norm made shitty transphobic comments disguised as jokes up until his dying day
