I've been rocking with y'all for a loooong time. VIP almost from the get go. I cancelled my membership today when I realized "Why am I giving money to a straight white men who is so cavalier about his allyship when there are so many queer/poc podcasts I can support? I appreciate all the years of funny and I hope this latest gambit got you all more VIP subscriptions, but I am out.
You’re justifying your viewpoint by ignoring an important point. Kieth asked if he could ask questions about the surgery, she said yes without any qualification. Then she was offended. Keith was sensitive about the subject and asked permission to talk about it. That’s not transphobic.

Again to the point he doesn’t ask this question generally to transpeople but this person has a movie about Joe their life changed with this surgery.
