      Jokes are a form of rhetoric. Anti-gay "humor" was a staple of lots of stand-up comedy in the 1980s. It's markedly less so now, because as a society we generally have more respect for gay people now than we did then, and we understand that hateful anti-gay "jokes" aren't cool.

      And, more importantly, we understand on some level that those jokes went hand-in-hand with a culture that looked down on gay people, that they worked to normalize the hatred of gay people, just as anti-trans "jokes" work to normalize and perpetuate transphobia today.

      That passes for observational comedy?! Man, "jokes" like that were tired 20 years ago with shit like Ace Ventura and Austin Powers. In any case, it doesn't matter if the intention is to get a laugh. The impact is one of normalizing feelings of disgust and hatred toward trans ppl.

      So your defense is that because you're in an environment where it's a minority of trans folk that probably avoid confrontation on the jokes for the sake of keeping peace, OR, they're ok with it because they've been there long enough to know the actual intent behind the jokes-

      And the overall attitudes of the people making them,that every other trans person who deals with being insulted by people who hold fully malicious views of trans folk should just automatically not take offense? You do realize it's harder for trans people to get jobs -

      And be safe in public because they're in an environment where people get used to dehumanizing mindsets on these people, right? You do realize trans folk have been murdered after people who pursue romantic or sexual experiences with them have been let off Scot free right?

      If someone who doesn't know about trans people hangs out with people who make jokes calling them their old set at birth gender or says they're just mentally fucked, etc, they're more likely to genuinely adapt those ideas and lead to future oppression.

      Censoring? Who's censoring anything? People have the right to be as hateful and shitty as they want to be. A private event deciding that they don't want a person who engages in such behavior participating in their event is not censorship. It's their right.
