That’s not the only time being trans has affected her comedy. Once, when touring with a headlining comic, a club owner refused to let McBride perform. And another comic refused to perform in a venue on the same night as McBride. “It gets to you,” she said. “That’s real cancel culture.”
McBride is just one of many trans comics who faces prejudice and discrimination in landing gigs because of who they are. Yet it’s not trans comics who are loudly complaining about cancel culture. It’s cis comics like Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr and Ricky Gervais who make it a staple of their comedy.
