I get what he's going for, but he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. A friend of mine told me it was a perfect special, so I was looking forward to it, but it just wasn't very funny.

I mean when you make the trans community the subject of so many jokes over the years it starts to seem like you do have a problem with then despite claims to the contrary.
I know many that act like the pronouns are the only thing they take issue with, but it becomes more clear talking to them that it's actually the people they are uncomfortable with. I won't put that on Dave, as I don't know for sure, but I will say this special came off as a rant more than a comedy.
And perhaps rightfully so after his friend killed herself.
