Louis C.K. and Trans Ignorance

Sat, 21 Jul 2012 09:36:00 -0400

Well, then perhaps you might want to actually have a conversation with a transvestite and a transsexual. Transvestites dress like the opposite sex. They don’t need bottom surgery, or as you call it - “a synthetic … kind of pink peapod, Frankenstein, grafted-off-your-leg dick.” A transexual (or trans guy) might have bottom surgery. And I’m sure that lovely image will bring comfort and succor to trans guys and their loved ones everywhere.

"I just like listening, … I try to take people who are way far away from what I think or understand..."

“I just like listening, … I try to take people who are way far away from what I think or understand and put a representative of them on my show. I like to try to learn from them.”

Marc Maron, WTF, and Fat Ignorance

Sat, 14 Jul 2012 13:13:03 -0400

I used to be a fan. I knew that one of Maron’s biggest fears is of being fat but if I let that stop me from enjoying somebody art, I’d have to write off most of the entertainment industry. However, after hearing episode 263 posted on 3/18/2012 with Mary Mack, I was stunned at his ignorance and unchecked discrimination. I found myself not being able to listen to him anymore.

This is what he said:

“I slept with the largest woman i ever slept with in my life. I’m not proud of that. i’m not saying this to insult her. I’m not going to say mention names because, frankly, I don’t remember her name. But it was a challenge. It was not a sexual thing, it was more of an astronut thing. We can put men on the moon. I can do this. That’s how I entered this. I hate me. I’m aggravated This trip is not working out well. I’m going to have sex with this person.”

So, I emailed him, writing that, although he has the right to be attracted to any type of body, equating “fat” with “ugly” is insulting and hurtful. I asked him to apologize on his podcast. He did not write back. I listened to the beginning of his podcast where he speaks about his life for a number of subsequent episodes and also heard nothing.

Please help me educate him and his followers about his anti-fat hate and discrimination by tweeting him @MarcMaron, @WTFpod using the hash tag #EducateFatHate.

This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words.

“So, on Friday night my friend and I were at her house and wanted to get out and do something for the evening. We brainstormed ideas and she brought up the idea of seeing a show at the Laugh Factory. I’d never been, I thought…
