I didn't think he's as transphobic as he's put out to be. However, he's not coming off great and I don't see why he needs those bits. He's a better comedian than that.

Like I think I saw a clip of one of his most recent ones and at the end it ... the point was that a trans man or women doesn't really look much like who they want to be or identify as to him. I mean, it seems dehumanizing doesn't it?

Well, maybe he is as transphobic, maybe I gotta see the whole special to get it and it's part of a larger gag. In any case, I'm not a fan of that type of stuff. Also, he brought Musk on stage so fuck him.

I think Dave just became an old man with set opinions earlier than he was supposed to.

He has similar energy to a not-quite-racist-but-certainly-off-color grandpa.
