Comedian Margaret Cho: ‘When You Take Trans Lives Lightly in a Comedy Routine, Trans People Die’

EXCERPT:

CHO: “I think trans lives has become a very big thing in comedy. Because they want to contest it. They want — they don’t understand that when you take trans lives lightly in a comedy routine trans people die. And they don’t have that understanding, that like this is — you — there are real consequences to your actions. Just because they don’t affect you personally, but this will affect a trans person’s life.”
