My older sister is gay. She doesn’t go to gay pride parades because gay pride parades aren’t gay. They are weird. ‘Gay’ means you are attracted to people of the same sex. Leather chaps and pink dildos have nothing to do with being gay. The people at gay pride parades very well may be gay, but they are primarily weirdos with a nice sprinkling of demented perverts. I shouldn’t have to say this but there are plenty of heterosexual perverts and weirdos. An equal percentage. We just don’t have a parade for it.
Anyways, what Dave Chappelle is dealing with right now is NOT the ‘trans community’. What he is currently dealing with is the unhinged asshole community. I’m sure some of the people trying to destroy him for jokes also happen to be trans, but they are primarily psychotic assholes. Trans people are very normal and they like jokes. So it’s somewhat of a smear on trans people to suggest that the rage-spewing nutbags attacking Dave Chappelle somehow represent trans people generally. They don’t. I only know one trans person and he is WAY more normal and less unhinged than me.
We do this with all kinds of lunatic activism. When people see a BLM protest that turns a Wendy’s into a towering inferno, which probably smells delicious, people will often say something like
“Well it’s understandable because this is how the black community feels.”
No it isn’t, ya goddam racist. Those people are not black, they are criminals. They may also happen to be black, but primarily, if you’re napalming a restaurant, you are a violent criminal. That just does not represent the black community in any way. Never mind the fact that the term ‘black community’ itself is pretty racist because it suggests
“These people are all fairly similar and they got together to come up with a list of things they like and don’t like.”
Bottom line is to not get distracted by identity categories when you are seeing terrible behavior. If you don’t want to point out terrible behavior because of an identity category, you’re kinda admitting that you have some negative stereotypical views regarding that particular category. Either that or you’re understandably scared as hell because Jiao Bideng and company are orchestrating a Cultural Revolution. Mainly just ignore all of the categories because it’s Marxist conflict theory in action. The only category that is okay to categorize, and also shit on aggressively, is ‘Democrats’.
