Bill Maher: Transgenders Go ‘Too Far’ In Making Demands Of Others, They ‘Want To Shut Down Debate’
Comedian Bill Maher During a CNN interview this week he attacked the trans community, saying that they “go way” “too far” They are adamant in their demands on everyone else, and actively trying to “shut down debate.”
Maher made these remarks in an interview with Jake Tapper on the political Left’s cancel-culture agenda.
Tapper seemed to defend the view of a few comedians who believe that jokes about transgender individuals amount to humor. “punching down.”
“I don’t really agree. I mean, I think the trans community is asking for too much,” Maher said. “Again, the difference between liberal and woke.”
“And it’s great we live in a time where people like that can freely live the lives they should live with all the dignity and protection of the law that we can afford them, like anybody else in society. I think that’s the liberal point of view,” Before he explained how woke people see the matter, Maher said.
“The woke point of view is something very different, like — ‘well, babies are born now and just jump ball, we don’t know what they are,'” Maher made fun of it. “‘Congratulations, you have a boy. Well, let’s not be hasty. There’s a penis. That could be an indication of a male, but it’s — it’s really– we’ll find out later. And we can always get rid of it.'”
“And it’s not wrong to have this discussion,” Maher stated that some people are so naive as to believe that any discussion is hateful or a phobia. This is a tactic used to end the debate.
“They absolutely do want to shut down debate,” Maher was also added.

TRANSCRIPT:
JAKE TAPPER – I know that comedians are afraid to perform in a new environment. However, I also see Dave Chappelle doing very well.
BILL MAHER : Yes.
TAPPER: There’s one thing I — I wanted to get your reaction to something because obviously Chappelle has been criticized a lot because of his — making fun of transgender– the transgender community.
This is what David Cross says, and he’s — David Cross is a pretty edgy comedian and —
MAHER: Yes, great — great comedian.
TAPPER: And he says — this is — he’s talking — he’s not talking about you certainly, and he’s not even talking about Chappelle necessarily in the quote, but he’s talking about people who make the kind of jokes making fun of transgender, he said, you’re positioning yourself as this bull**** voice of, they’re not going to cancel me. You cannot silence me.
What? Your dumb joke about trans people? Who gives a damn? You don’t think it is that important. You can just move on and not cause harm to hundreds of thousands of people. It is a choice that people make.
That was an interesting quote. I think the bigger criticism of Chappelle, from people like David Cross, is that he’s punching down and not punching up like Carlin.
What do you think?
MAHER: I disagree. I’m referring to the fact that I believe the trans community asks for too much. The difference between liberals and woke is again evident.
Liberals are people who I think would say — I certainly would– trans is, of course, a real thing. You know, some people are just, you know, I don’t — I’m — they probably don’t like this terminology, but born in the wrong body, whatever the — the equipment doesn’t match how you feel.
Absolutely. It’s amazing that they can live their lives with the dignity and protection afforded them by the law. This is the liberal perspective.
The woke point of view is something very different, like — well, babies are born now and just jump ball, we don’t know what they are.
Congratulations! But let’s not rush. There’s a penis. That could be an indication of a male, but it’s — it’s really– we’ll find out later. We can always get rid it.
It’s not wrong for us to have this conversation. This is some — something that’s very new. It’s not to shut it — to shut down debate with these words like phobia.
You’re phobic and you hate — we don’t hate. It is not hate. It’s not phobic. We are not afraid.
We’re just discussing something very new that involves children and what — these interventions you’re making have repercussions for the entire rest of their lives and they’re about their health, which I think should come first.
