I'm sure some people from the LGBTS community took offense to the joke, but there is also a large portion of people who weren't necessarily offended by the joke. Not being transgender, my feelings of the joke was that it was meant to be an insult joke, much like the jokes seen on a roast. He was just cow ting in how Caitlyn has let her self go. More a jab towards personal fitness than anything of a more malicious intent. He also used the proper noun "she" in referring to Caitlyn, not "he", solidifying my perception of the joke as just common Twitter banter. Now before I make people angry, I can also see were this joke can be construed as offensive and transphobic. The joke was directed towards Caitlyn, a recently open transgender. He could have said the joke about any one else, but why her? Personally it all comes down to the persons own concept of what makes transphobia, and what doesn't, and that is why this fiasco is very heated. Note: I will gladly argue my points with others who bring intellectual thought and plausible facts in a discussion. Not like a "my way is the only way" type of arguing either, but a "my point seem to be correct because of a, b, and c" type arguing. Sorry for the long post, it's been a while since I could do something like this

So you want a society of easily offended... are you kidding me were you not taught how to deal with people picking on you as a child? Or are you one of the adults that cry if they get cussed out by a 12 year old on CoD

We don't need to "fix" people that are sensitive. That's just the way they are and there's nothing wrong with that. There's something wrong with something else.

We're you droped as a child man? We don't need to toughen up wimps? Are you serious you want other people o change because some people can and will cry over every little thing. Humanity has made it how far without an uproar to save people's feelings. Its part of growing up you don't stay a wimp forever

transgender's emotions are greater than transphobic's inability to change

Now your saying that they are more emotional than other people, which is a lie. And saying transphobia should change the way the think and trannys shouldnt, which is a double standard. Your move

lol where did you get that im saying that trans people are more emotional than normal people... i didnt even hint towards that. lol trans people are not able to change their identity(even if they wanted to) just so that they can fit into people's expectations of them based upon their assigned sex at birth. Not everyone will fit into your expectations of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. thats the real world, wether you like it or not. get used to it bud

Same thing as you said just worded different. If you want to try and make a statement double prove yourself to be 2 sided on the matter. And yes you just did and contradicted yourself on it... twice. Now go ride off on you horse Internet white night I think there's a girl that needs your obsessions.
