Sarah Silverman

Did anyone see the video where Silverman bashes Caitlyn Jenner for saying transgirls should not compete in girls' competitions?

The following Reddit is incredibly insightful:

www.reddit.com/r/transgender/comments/n7wc8t/sarah_silverman_accuses_caitlyn_jenner_of/

Some nuggets:

"She's been making amends since it happened and learning from trans people to do better. She's one of far too few celebs willing to own their shit and grow beyond it."

"True but it seems as though Silverman has learned better."

"I'm genuinely impressed that Sarah Silverman actually listened to and learned from the trans community after that fiasco with her sex change ad."

It is all about the trans community. The fact that this impacts woman is not entertained for even a split second. Additionally, the now standard "learned" is used a lot. Obviously the only way to disagree with gender ideology is by being 'uneducated'. This is very asinine framing.

I liked Janice too - she had a good heart and want as daft as she met you believe.

I only saw a bit of this and sincerely thought she was taking the piss

Maybe she is - who knows? Maybe even she doesn't know! The whole thing is so mad.

I don't know how anyone can see what's happening and support TW in women's sports - but it's even harder to understand taking that position against someone who is both a TW and an elite athlete. I mean how can't she see that CJ is supremely qualified to comment and knows far more about it than her?

poor Janice, I've done her a disservice..! Admit I've never been a fan of Friends but watched enough to know the names and preferences - dinosaurs, one's tidy, one likes cats etc.

Just too good and too perfect and too funny. Kind of felt tricked watching something with such good timing (I know, weird). However, it's good, but too good. Ross being so whiny always put me off as well.

Poor Janice, I shall never think that SS reminds me of her again...Grin

I love Janice too. She makes me think of some of the grotesque characters in Roald Dahl who simply exist for you to laugh at snootily because they are, not one of us (horror!) ie. they are lower middle class unsophisticated try hards and therefore naturally hilariously awful.

This is brilliant - thank you!

She carried on arguing about it with people like Hadley Freeman so I'm assuming she really believes it:

And SS makes herself look like such a fool

I watched Silverman's video and it was just so performative. All that head shaking and emoting.

VortexofBloggery · 13/05/2021 23:23

Kool Aid All Gone. The fanaticism of SS is mesmerizing, and terribly embarrassing to watch all at the same time. I hope one of her good friends can peak her one day.

PermanentTemporary · 14/05/2021 00:56

I hoped it was satire. It actually looks like she's lost sight of how to sound sincere.
