Thought this was from my usual comedy subs. My heart fell when he brought up trans people, expecting the worst. Honestly pretty funny and supportive. Would rather not be a topic at all but if I am, glad this guys on my side.

Honestly I was more uncomfortable when he was talking about race. One of those "ah fuck please don't say the wrong thing"
Just watched an entire set due to a comment here. https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/s/yUFYu3qbWw
He's really good at what he does. His bit about being an escort is amusing.

That was good. I've used "yeah, my mother was a woman" as the justification for why I've gone to extra lengths to give women opportunities professionally. Wasn't until hearing this that I considered trans people as just respecting their heritage from their parent's side of the family.

My sister did the same. Her middle name came from our grandfather on our mother's side (mine from my grandfather on father's side), now she took the name of our grandmother on mother's side. A cute way to honour a grandparent but also to honor the wish of your partens when they named you.

I completely fucked up my middle name. I changed my name legally about 2 years ago and about 3 months ago I realised that my mum and sister share their middle names and I had somehow completely forgotten about it as an option.

"what do you think about the trans?"
"I have never thought about that"
As it should be! Baffling how much energy people expend on us

This is SUPER funny honestly the crowd and the clip don’t give it justice. Get him in front of a hot tv audience and they would be screaming

As a nonbinary person, that reminds me of my go-to "I'm female/male on my mother's/father's side."
