FUNNY OR TRANSPHOBIC?

I think this is a riot--but it was pulled from airwaves because it was considered transphobic. Really? I know this is a sensitive subject but do transwomen want to have periods and use tampons? I think most real women would happily go without them. Besides, it's a drag queen, not a TS.

Here is a comment--apparently this infuriated trans people. "I don't have words for how fucking furious I am right now. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Who the hell greenlit it? Who do you transphobic idiots in the comments think you are, trying to invalidate people's identities?" IF A MILD JOKE INVALIDATES YOUR IDENTITY THEN YOU AREN'T VERY SECURE IN IT.
