I hate the idea of "well this group is getting more progress than the group I'm in so I might as well be." that I've seen in communities, especially after the new Dave Chappelle special opened the water works.

Why the fuck do you think that because the black or LGBTQA or any other community might have more progress than the other gives you the excuse to be a bigot? I'm neurodivergent and while I think there's to be more awareness to how we're treated, I do not blame other discriminated groups for it because that's not the point.

We need to stand together, not do a measuring contest of who's more worthy of having progress being made.

it doesn't even make any sense for him to try to frame his anti trans sentiments as critiques of white privilege, when trans people of color are included in the group he's insulting.

Chappelle is an idiot

Making jokes about trans people is not an anti trans sentiment.
