Description

Another day, another millionaire comedian or right-wing politician targets trans people. While one might seem like easy laughs, it’s hard not to look around at the hundreds of anti-trans bills sweeping the country and still muster a chuckle. Republicans are fixated on preventing trans girls participate in sports and trans kids overall from receiving any gender-affirming care. Founder of the Trans Formations Project Erin Reed joins Francesca to detail the impact of stopping trans children from receiving care, what “informed consent” is, and why it is that the GOP is so obsessed. Plus comedian Jaye McBride takes down Bill Maher’s latest “old man doesn’t get the gays” rant, and what strange spell compels Caitlyn Jenner continues to throw other trans people under the bus. Plus, Jaye stays on for a BONUS episode all about Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle’s anti-trans comedy and tells the story of working at the Comedy Cellar while Dave Chappelle was performing and he made her get on stage. Do not miss this incredible and super awkward encounter.
