It's comedy, I think it should be allowed to be more offensive if that's his thing. People will decide with their wallets if it's too much. Unless it's extreme I suppose, but none of that is imo. He's taking the piss, but with the women drivers joke he's being more offensive to women (and of course the person who died in the crash) than he is to trans people anyway. And I don't really get the chimp joke, unless it's not meant to be funny

I dunno, is this really getting a lot of criticism over transphobia? Or is it just a headline trying to cash in on what is currently a popular topic of conversation?Trans issues/controversy are very good for the clicks at the moment. Looking at the excerpts of the reviews of him that the article is actually based on I'd guess it's the latter.
