You're really doubling down on this stupidity. It's also ironic since if he called a mannish-looking cis woman a man it wouldn't have attracted any attention, whereas he called a MtF who still looks more M than F a man and there's pearl-clutching galore.

You think that might have anything at all to do with the fact that gender identity is way more important to trans people than cis people?

And you don't think that cis people don't take it way too seriously as well? Pretending that it's somehow unique to trans doesn't make it unique to trans.

When did I say it was unique to trans people, Zeus? I implied that, because gender identity is more important to trans people than cis people, those who would react to someone being misgendered, trans- and cis- alike, would react more strongly and vocally to someone misgendering a trans person than they would to someone misgendering a cis person.

You say that you didn't say that, but turn around and basically say that. You're basically trivializing non-trans pain and positioning trans pain as being of greater significance than cis pain.

there's lots of people you're not really allowed to insult tho, dude. at least not without consequences

Basically this. People of European or Asian heritage (from India to Japan) are the only ones it's generally socially acceptable to make fun of, it seems. Coincidentally, these areas are where all the power has been held for 2000+ years, on and off, so maybe there's some connection there... As far as religion goes, Islam and Judaism seem to be the only two that are "off limits" for mockery.

Uh, what? Are you ignoring that Eastern-Europeans were the world's whipping boy? And that the slave trade was most active around the middle east and that the word slave is itself derived from slav? And were you not taught about the Ottoman Empire? And are you ignorant as to the amount of interaction that Europe actually had with much of Africa until just the past few hundred years? And are you trivializing the genocide of ethnic-white groups by other ethnic-white groups?

Not that even if the above didn't exist you'd have an excuse for your stupid claim. Also, as for religion, Judaism is *frequently* mocked. It's only Islam that seems protected and, when your followers are willing to gun down critics, it's no wonder why comics like Sarah Silverman admit to being too scared to mock it.
