DU has a transphobia problem

[blm]

5. My take, v

is that people who follow comedy at DU tend to be committed to the idea that there are few boundaries, if any. They saw/know what happened to Lenny Bruce. It’s like that is their stand more than that they think it’s ok to target trans. Most DUers are NOT comfortable with Chappelle’s tact.

I had a long relationship with one of the most censored humor writers of the last half-century. He would always punch up, though, not down. I think he’d have mixed feelings on Chappelle.

I hope you don’t decide to leave, v, and I am sorry that you’ve been hurt here.
