"it's not that deep, trans women just aren't welcome in our media no matter how progressive it wants to appear because ultimately we must obey the tastes of the majority no matter how bigoted they may be" yeah idk what she was complaining about either, it's a mystery
if Dropout actually wanted to platform trans voices & performers, then they would implement a gender diversity quota into their shows. “but then it would be forced” so? ten years ago the BBC implemented a rule for all of their panel shows to have a woman on every episode. and obviously it didn’t End Sexism On TV Forever, but there was an immediate & noticeable difference even for female comedians looking for small time untelevised standup gigs. the reason Dropout don’t do this is for trans folks because they consider the public perception of trans women to harm their bottom line too much to consistently hire any of us, and it would be immediately obvious if they only gave these positions to TME trans people (and to be honest — they already do, and it already is).
#these people are so frustrating#clinging to their transfem free media like it's gonna kill them to see the funniest most beautiful woman in the world drop kick their#precious brennan lee mulligan baby live on stage#i like dropout#i would like it more if it was better#it would just be better if trans women worked there#we are talented and creative just like everyone else#the only reason you think we're unmarketable is because you hate us for reasons you refuse to unpack#this shit is literally Your problem and you're asking us to do the work for you to keep you comfortable#you're lucky we're just saying they should hire more transfems and not outright rejecting them#we're already being so nice
