AS ALWAYS, LIFE IN THE 21st CENTURY IMITATES MONTY PYTHON: Margaret Cho: Trans Jokes Kill Trans People.
Margaret Cho is nothing if not inconsistent.
The far-Left comedian recently went on social media to celebrate the death of GOP stalwart Sen. Lindsay Graham. She also wished death on Sen. Mitch McConnell, the retiring politician who hasn’t been seen in public for weeks following a medical incident.
A comedian could make hay with the latter, mocking the lack of transparency in play.
Instead, she played the Cruelty Card.

Now, Cho is demanding her fellow comedians stop telling jokes at the expense of the trans community. That sentiment ran wild during Peak Woke, a time when the Left nearly cancelled Dave Chappelle for sharing those jokes in 2021’s Netflix special, “The Closer.”
Did it matter that Chappelle ended that stand-up special with a heartfelt tribute to a late trans comic? Apparently not.
Cho says the mere act of telling a trans joke can be deadly.
She means they might commit suicide over hurt feelings because they’re mentally unstable. https://t.co/am5zJjlP31

Cho has a point though. “In 1945 Peace broke out. It was the end of the [Killer] Joke. Joke warfare was banned at a special session of the Geneva Convention, and in 1950 the last remaining copy of the joke was laid to rest here in the Berkshire countryside, never to be told again.”
