I had never heard of this guy before today (I am not a fan of stand up comedy) but I do listen to the political podcast The Newsagents, and they had him on as a guest. He sounded like a sensible person until he suddenly started talking complete faux-naïve bollocks about the trans issue. Something about how how boring it would be if everyone in society was expected to be the same, or some such stuff, and therefore anyone who opposes trans rights is being "boring" as well as wrong. Anyone else hear that? Is this guy in general a TRA or just stupid?

Stupid because he has a different opinion to you? Why don’t you just Google him to see what he’s about?

He’s very very switched on actually. I listened to the podcast earlier and whilst I don’t agree with his political opinions, I fully respect what he does. He’s openly pansexual and pro LGBT, hence his comments.

So perhaps he’s saying what he feels in the interview you heard or perhaps he’s saying it to get a reaction. He does enjoy the reaction.

He’s certainly not stupid. He does like to wind people up, it’s very much part of his stand up routine and he’ll do things on Twitter for a reaction too. It’s just who he is eg legally changing his name to Hugo Boss for a while so he could troll the Hugo Boss company.

He’s quite open about being pansexual so I’m sure he has his own thoughts on gender ideology but he has never been staunch one way or the other as far as I know. I’m sure if he has been others will be along to say different.
