That comment wasn't transphobic at all.
Nolan referred to Caitlyn as both a she and her desired name thereby negating any possibility of transphobia.
It [i]might[/i] have been transphobic if he said, "Man, [b]Bruce[/b] Jenner has really let himself go..." buuuut he didn't.
TL;DR, terrible joke that isn't transphobic. Lighten up people.

YOURE CRUSHING THEM.

Correct pronoun usage does not automatically make the joke not transphobic. He used the correct pronouns but then he linked a picture of the Mona Lisa with a clearly male face, implying that is what Caitlyn Jenner looks like when she lets herself go. Comparing Caitlyn Jenner to looking like a man -is- transphobic. Period.

[spoiler]Let me explain it to you like you're 12 years old.[/spoiler] It is a male face, but everything else in the pic is female. The only thing he's implying is that Caitlyn's face is not particularly appealing like that of the man depicted. The humor is in the resemblance of the situation in the portrait -- a manly face on a woman's body -- to the reality of Caitlyn's situation.

Except Caitlyn does look like a man and on a day or during a time where she did not maintain her appearance with make up she would look even more like a man. Since when is telling the truth transphobic?
-
Can you point out to me where Caitlyn Jenner looks like a man perhaps? Or even better, what looking like a man entails? I also wasn't aware that wearing makeup could magically make someone more feminine than masculine. Such incredible transformative powers make up has apparently.

He was making a mean joke about his friend, that's who's picture that was. He made a follow up tweet about it
