I used to watch it sporadically when it aired and started watching it from the begging now, just finishing 3th season. I knew it had racial/racist jokes but I'm shocked with the amount of transphic jokes it has. I tried to see if there were some discussion around it, but I only found a video from T1J focused on the racial content but he didn't mention the transphobia even once.
Have she ever talk about that? Like acknowledging if was transphobic or something? Or is her writing still like that?
"Oh dear, don't tell me this is some TERF screed... Well, it could also be the opposite, right? But I'm smelling a dead dove here..."
The perpetrators were three men, two of them transgender
"Either this is a very progressive way to cover two trans men, or a very regressive way to cover two trans women."
Identifying as women
"Yahari."
[interview with some TERF calling the Norwegian state's respect for the women's gender a "parody of political correctness", accusing trans women of being men trying to sneak into women's spaces, repeatedly emphasizing how the SA was penetrative using their "male organs"
"Eugh......."
[doesn't even interview anyone who isn't a TERF, leaving that person's stances completely unchallenged]

"LOOK UPON THE FACE OF YOUR NEW POPE. HIS HAPLOTYPE IS IRRELEVANT. HIS PERUVIAN HERITAGE ASIDE, LOOK INTO THE EYES OF A CHICAGO SPORTS FAN AND KNOW THAT HE HAS SUFFERED LIFETIMES OF ANGUISH. THE FAILURES OF THE HAM SANDWICH RACE PALE IN COMPARISON TO THE 'DOUBLE DOINK', THE BULLS AFTER THE YEAR 2000, AND THE UNSPEAKABLE TRAUMA OF BEING A CUBS FAN. KNOW THAT I DO NOT SPARE HIM THE JUSTIFIED TRUTH ABOUT HIS GENETICS OUT OF CONCERN, BUT MERELY RESTRAINT; THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL MISERY I NEED TO PLACE UPON A CHICAGO FAN, IT WOULD MAKE ME SEEM WEAK AND OPPORTUNISTIC... LIKE YOU, HAM SANDWICH."
fuck caitlyn jenner but you dont get to be transphobic as a lil treat any time a trans person acts like a dumb ass, and you’re not owning anyone by doing so, you’re just furthering reactionary transphobia and bigotry
I cover my face before stepping outside,
And don't say a word, so my voice won't be pried.
I try to blend in, and pray they can't tell
-- As if I'm a thief who escaped from her cell.
My old mask was blue.
I'm glad that it fell.
My new mask is pink.
I still need to hide.
From closet to stealth
Does no good to your health.
For people like me, this country looks bleak;
If others could see, they'd just see a freak.
My new mask is pink.
It does make me think.
My old mask was blue.
What else could I do?
One day they won't tell just by looking at me,
But that doesn't mean that I'm finally free.
My new mask will then be etched to my face:
They'll give me a past that never took place.
My old mask was blue.
A terrible guise.
My new mask is pink.
The mask is in their eyes.
I don't know why I keep this mask.
It doesn't fit me -- it never has.
And now I've figured out this mess,
It seems to fit me even less.
I would much rather wear a dress...
But where I'm from, the risk's too high.
When I still look like a guy
(In many ways -- I hate them all),
If I step outside the door
With these clothes that I adore,
What sort of danger would I call?
But I can't waste my life away
And live a lie until the day
I'll get to look a certain way.
In the end, it's up to me
To find the courage that I need
And be the girl I wish to be.

Murder-obsessed 16-year-olds convicted of killing girl who was stabbed 28 times in Warrington park
Two 16-year-olds have been found guilty of the “senseless” murder of Brianna Ghey, a “witty, funny and fearless” transgender girl who was stabbed 28 times in a Warrington park this year.
The murder-obsessed teenagers, known as Girl X and Boy Y to protect their identities, were found guilty unanimously by a jury at Manchester crown court on Wednesday after it deliberated for four hours and 40 minutes.
The judge, Mrs Justice Yip, said she would sentence the pair next month, and would decide whether to lift reporting restrictions so that the killers could be named.
She told the teenagers that she would have to impose a life sentence but that she needed to adjourn for further reports to decide on the minimum tariff they must serve.
The pair showed no reaction to the verdicts, but their mothers wept in the court. Afterwards, Brianna’s mother urged “empathy and compassion” for the kill

Long story short, our persecutor have been trying to repress our transfem host, to the point where she rarely fronted nowadays. Maybe it was internalized transphobia, which sometimes caused us quite a problem.
While she's not the only transfem in our system, I couldn't help but to feel bad that she might felt unwelcome here, in her only safe space. She's also pretty empty and unresponsive ever since she started to disappear.
This post is a bit of a vent, but I also genuinely need help and comfort. I hope this is appropriate to talk about here and that I don't ruin the vibe of this community too much.
I'm tired with myself repressing my gender. I'm tired with me telling myself maybe I can live happily as a boy, maybe I can convince myself, or maybe this is all fake somehow. I feel like I'm not meant to be a girl, that I am meant to be a boy, and that I shouldn't transition because it's against my cultures. And my internalized transphobia sometimes made me think like a bigot when given the chance.
I've done my best to avoid lashing my internalized transphobia to anyone, even online, and I'll continue to do my best. I'll continue to do my best to support trans people, but ironically it's hard for me to support myself.
I know this all sounds so negative, but it's been eating away at my mental health. I need help.
*I just wanted someone to reassure me that it's okay for me to transition an
