I really shouldn't even comment on this, but what the hell, why not. As far as I'm concerned, intent decides whether something like this is [insert group of people]phobic. North was making fun of his friend, not Jenner. As others have already pointed out, North referred to Jenner as "she/her" which means he is recognizing her as she wants to be recognized. Also, it is entirely possible to make jokes about a group of people and not hate them or mean them any disrespect, provided you're truly joking. Intent is key. As someone from Wisconsin, I lovingly refer to people from Illinois as "Flatlanders". Do I truly bear them any ill will, or even really give a care where they're from? No. [spoiler]But seriously, learn how to drive, Flatlanders![/spoiler] Was it smart for a somewhat famous person to joke at all about a topic like this knowing they're being watched by thousands of millions of people? Probably not.
