The article said he's anti trans he literally stood up there for an hour and said he was an ally. He's just anti LGBTQ community's bullshyt. Dude befriended a trans woman. These motherfukkers are just stubborn abdcdont want to listen to him.

Believing in literal sky daddy that grants wishes if you pray hard enough is absurd by any sanity measure so glass houses and such.I'll say that religious people aren't offing themselves at epidemic rates so maybe there's some merit to it.
Also I wonder if trans people committing suicide has anything to do with the constant hate they face within in society. Hmmmm
Also it would be dope if religious people just killed themselves rather than being one of the most violent and destructive group of people in human history
Economics and social studies prove that religious folks are better neighbors and better people for society. I'm not even religious and can see that. I'm not saying religion is perfect but there is more to religion than belief in itself but rather social cohesion.
Religious People are 'Better Neighbors'
You should read The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. He's a liberal atheist and even he concedes that point.
Not to mention live longer lives, happy, and healthier, more civic/social engagement.

This is what's called "moving the goal post" a man can never Ever naturally give birth.

that’s great it literally doesn’t prove me wrong tho. Especially considering religion within the US along with capitalism is used to justify some absolutely abhorrent shyt. So spare me the “your religious neighbors will make you a pie” take. Those same people will use the Bible as justification to strip people of their human rights Too
Like I’m sure George W Bush is a very good neighbor, but do you believe he’s a good person ? How about these pastors for mega churches like Joel Osteen?
Having conviction in a story/belief (religion) is vastly different than believing gender is debatable.

The goal post is right where it's always been, your issue is that you don't consider trans men to be men, that's your personal problem not the rest of us.
This whole "punching down on the marginalized" talking point that his critics are using, is hilarious to me. In the next breath they'll usually admit they were a fan when he was joking about Black drug addicts and the poor. It's like they don't believe those groups are included amongst the marginalized. I ignored the hypocrisy the first few times I've heard the narrative, but now it just sticks out like a sore thumb whenever I hear "I use to be a fan his before the specials, but..." It just comes across that they want him to go back to clowning Black struggle and pain, and are getting antsy that he spraying the smoke at everybody.

Religious people calling trans people crazy has always and will always amuse me. Also I’m not liberal. How come people only take that part of my name literally but not the ceo part
Oh - so you’re a liar?
I highly doubt they really sat down and watched the special. Because they're just proving his point. They gotta realize Dave don't give af and people from different backgrounds respect his honesty and craft. Dave be having smoke for everybody so he's not singling them out like they want people to believe. They want to "cancel" him because they can't refute what he's saying.
What's hilarious is that I'm sure that there are trans and gay folks out there that don't rock with the alphabet community because they are full of self-serving, ambulance chasing organizations. Much like a lot of other organizations out here.
Dumb ass shyt, like intersectionality doesn't exist. He wants to hide behind the black vs white shyt like the shyt he is saying isn't also hurting black LGBTQ, also curious is that his transgender friend that killed herself was a white transgender woman.

Yeah...it was fine when Dave joked about:
- Babies in the ‘hood selling weed at 3 AM
- Black people are bad bargaining chips in a hostage situation
- White people get off scott free with police by feigning ignorance and Black people can’t
- “Sprinkle some crack on him, and let’s get out of here”
- Rick James calling people “Darkness”
- Indians being so rare, he could pretend to be one and go on a reservation
...but not this new stuff
