Margaret Cho is one of those stand-up comedians who has become less funny as she has gotten older and more woke, which is a shame because she wasn’t too bad back in the 1990s.
Today, she comes off as a humorless scold, and a far left one, naturally.
During a recent appearance on a podcast, she talked about how if you make jokes about trans people, trans people die. The host doesn’t challenge her on this at all, he just nods along, as if what she is saying is completely normal. It isn’t.
Breitbart News has details:
Comedienne and actor Margaret Cho attacked policies aimed at curbing transgender ideology, even going as far to say we are in a “trans genocide.”
Cho shared her thoughts on the issue during an appearance on the Who’s With Me? podcast.
“It’s really scary and the way our government treats trans lives. You know, insane bathroom laws and identity laws, or taking people’s driver’s licenses,” she said. “It seems endless whether it’s re-legalizing conversion therapy. Supreme Court on down. You have all of these things that, you know, we’re in the middle of a trans genocide, and we have to do anything that we can to stop it. We have to make sure that trans people are safe and then start working on restoring equality to their lives.”
In the same interview, she took other comedians to task for cracking jokes about transgender ideology.
“I think trans lives has become a very big thing in comedy, because they want to contest it. They don’t understand that when you take trans lives lightly in a comedy routine, trans people die, and they don’t have that understanding. There are real consequences to your actions, because they don’t affect you personally, but this will affect a trans person’s life,” Cho said.

Wokeism is the death of comedy. These comments from Margaret Cho are proof.
Once a comedian starts thinking this way, it’s over.
Can you even imagine someone like George Carlin or Richard Pryor talking this way? It’s impossible.
