I enjoyed the joke about the lesbian/trans/gay (not sure which) being a fellow oppressee, until it’s time to get the cops called then the “being white” comes out.

Bill Burr has a similar joke about women and equality, until there is a fire and someone (not a man) is getting rescued first.

Not to derail, but Burr’s joke equating a First Lady to a plumber’s wife/husband is about as good as it gets.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I saw Burr in the comedy cellar one time. He’s fun.

Now that I think about it, I've never seen Rick Warren and Dave Chappelle in the same room...

He's very good but his transgender stuff is not. It's just like he's pandering to people who want him to do trans content. Which probably got a lot of magas talking about the special and ran up its numbers.

This is the last special of his Netflix contract. For me it read more like him wanting to put a fancy bow on everything, get everything out there and tie everything up.

I am  sure the trans stuff has been a big part of his life the last ten years. People telling him they like it and a lot of people telling him they hate it. People that hated that content will not like this special. People that loved that content will find enough to like it. People who just likes jokes and comedy will be like, Dave is so ridiculously good at what he does and this special was just decent (for Dave). Decent Dave is better than 80-90% of comedy specials though.

That makes sense, but I don't think it was necessary for him to "wrap up" the trans stuff. Was anyone like "man I wish Dave would talk about punching down and trans issues one more time" (other than wacks)

I also didn't think there was enough of the great moments he's capable of to consider it "decent" but I can see how people could.

This is where I am. He's right that calling what he's done, punching down is insulting. What he has done that's a problem is he's using his platform as a bully pulpit. Our society will never allow a trans comedian to have the platform he does and if they did they can't make jokes about his lips the way he talks about dicks & pussies.

The point he made during this special he could have made two specials ago and just left it alone at that. He knows he's hurting people with those jokes but he kept doing them to make a point and IMO, that's mumped up.

Didn’t hit like a Dave special usually hits for me.  I didn’t see much to be offended by.

Did the author give any examples of what would qualify as a "fresh" and, therefore, acceptable trans joke?

No, the author isn't a comedian, but they did share an editorial from a trans comic and also shares the perspective of a few. If you're genuinely interested, it isn't hard to find.

Again, if you're genuinely interested, I thought the first 10 minutes of this were very funny and more interesting than anything Chappelle did except maybe "tenderizing titties". (Don't expect Chappelle delivery though)

I thought the special was funny. I also think a white guy could do the same routine as Chappelle's latest special, and it would be just as funny. I don't think think anyone would be defending the Clifford joke like they are defending the trans jokes, though.
