1) Maybe if the jokes were actually funny. Or even jokes, for that matter.
2) So, this means people shouldn't be allowed to go to the restroom that fits their gender identity? It's not like these laws are opening up a loophole. Assault is still legal and no judge or law enforcement officer is going to say "Oh, you say you belong in this restroom? Then carry on with your assault." The fact that I can count the number of verified cases of people invading women's spaces, assaulting them, and claiming to be trans on one hand doesn't help matters.
3) By "many," I mean enough people to start up a controversy that kept it from just being random comedy special on Netflix. And I didn't even say I wanted him silenced in that thread. Jessie Gender's video raised enough good points to make me think it should at least stay on the platform, and even before that, I pointed out that he could easily just release it himself if Netflix pulls it (Louis CK has done so multiple times, to great success).
4) He mentioned the analogy in a context that indicates he agrees with it. And also, funny thing about trans athletes: they're allowed to compete not merely out of some attack of human decency, but because it turns out that once you go on hormones (especially if you do so for long enough), the physical advantages of being assigned male at birth end up getting neutralised by the effects of testosterone blockers and estrogen. When going on hormones causes a competitive runner to instantly go from 9.5-minute miles to 11-minute miles, that's something to take note of
