@@MWoyde I actually thinkit's great. It's the three reactions you see when someone comes out as trans. The one who is accepting, doesnt really understand, but is willing to learn to understand. The one who goes against you, and calls you crazy and ridiculous. And then the one who is indifferent either way. This skit wasnt to make fun of trans people, it seems more like a comment on how people jump to one of the three reactions. Its fairly well done, and I dont see it as offensive (and I'm trans) . I see it as a pretty decent comment on how people react to such things, regardless of how much or how little they understand it. I dont think they did it in an offensive way, since only 1 of the characters was being offensive about it, and trans people see a lot of those people. Those people are the ones who dont want trans people to have basic rights like "you can use the bathroom without getting harassed". The others at least try, even if one of them doesnt understand.
@@medude420024 well, the absurdity isn´t about him/her wanting to be woman. The absurdity is "I have the right to be pregnant and if you say otherwise, you opress me".

@@lady4191 Because she's happy and accepted by the people that matter to her, John Cleese notwithstanding? And even if she can't biologically conceive a child, her right to self-identify becomes officially recognised by the political movement that she cares about?
Also, she does accept the fact that she cannot have children. She expresses what she wants, is told that it's impossible and meets an acceptable compromise. Idk man. It's sweet.
@@s.g.7572 It's a satire about absurdity of people who wants to fight for fundamentally impossible things. In this case, it is about the man to bear babies. You cannot live under water even though you want to call yourself a fish.
For transgenderism, it's not only biologically correct, but also a mockery and insensitivity towards the reality of the struggle of having babies for real biological women.
Spain 2023
And if you are against you can end up in jail.
That is when the joke starts to be distopy.
Germany 2023, too.
Dave chappelle is being harassed today for pointing out the same fact.
I’ve been kicked suspended on Facebook twice for pointing out that fact.
Welcome to 2020, where it's impossible to out-parody the real-life social zeitgeist.
OMG this is where we are today
the last line had me laughing so loud
They saw it coming!
This was so ahead of its time
From absurdity to reality in only one generation.
You realize trans people existed when this movie came out, yeah?
trans people have always existed love
@@medude420024 Also Eric Idle said that he played Loretta very cincerely at that time.
@@MWoyde I actually thinkit's great. It's the three reactions you see when someone comes out as trans. The one who is accepting, doesnt really understand, but is willing to learn to understand. The one who goes against you, and calls you crazy and ridiculous. And then the one who is indifferent either way. This skit wasnt to make fun of trans people, it seems more like a comment on how people jump to one of the three reactions. Its fairly well done, and I dont see it as offensive (and I'm trans) . I see it as a pretty decent comment on how people react to such things, regardless of how much or how little they understand it. I dont think they did it in an offensive way, since only 1 of the characters was being offensive about it, and trans people see a lot of those people. Those people are the ones who dont want trans people to have basic rights like "you can use the bathroom without getting harassed". The others at least try, even if one of them doesnt understand.
@@medude420024 well, the absurdity isn´t about him/her wanting to be woman. The absurdity is "I have the right to be pregnant and if you say otherwise, you opress me".
Nowdays, a large group of people (progressive left) will go out of their way to interpret anything you do or say as opressive, racist, or any kind of phobic. They put these glasess on their eyes and see everything through them.
Otherwise I think its nice that they accepted Loretta for who she is later in the movie
