Honestly that's an insult to our intelligence lol.

Well yeah it was a joke. Every trans person I know told me the therapies and surgeries suck. It's not a cakewalk. That's the joke - it's like a trial from the universe and they didn't ask for it. The thing around Chapelle's friend and the trans community's interactions there was what drove my original comment because there's an irony in their lack of empathy over a trans comedian's experiences over Twitter when they already know how hard it is.

In a lot of cases they want to transition but the circumstances just aren't ideal to make the jump. It's not a bad thing to do it or not do it, but you already agree with that.
