That Trans Thread

[Rev. Rye]

Famed former comedy legend and current gobshite Graham Linehan has apparently been arrested for transphobic tweets.





Worth noting, the most damning tweet says:

The other two tweets cited are just garden-variety crude prejudice, but with this, it’s hard to treat this as anything but an explicit incitement to violence.

That was eight solid minutes of people missing the point.

It was really hard to find anything covering this specific story that actually acknowledges “Dude literally called for violence against a group just for using a public restroom. I don’t care what you think about trans folk, but openly calling for violence is a pretty reasonable line in the sand to draw for free speech.”
