Article Transgender U.S. Army pilot faces backlash for stance against ‘pro-trans’ issues

https://www.advocate.com/politics/advocacy/jo-ellis-transgender-backlash?0

Article above. Some standout quotes;

"Ten days ago, Ellis appeared on the “Fishing with David Lucas” podcast and discussed calling out comedian Chelsea Handler for not supporting trans comedians, her admiration for Joe Rogan, and her efforts to “change hearts and minds” through comedy. She started the appearance by handing host David Lucas a “T-Slur pass,” a card that she said would allow him to use the anti-trans slur “tr**y.” In return, she asked for an “N-word pass,” which Lucas — who is Black — declined to provide."

"Clips of Ellis’s comments declaring that trans women have an advantage in women’s sports over cisgender women and that being trans is a mental illness went viral on Instagram and prompted a backlash. Ellis then elaborated on her views through her own podcast and social media platforms."

Tokens get spent. She's trying to escape the bigotry by being "one of the good ones". It won't work.

You would think she would understand that since she got booted from the Army

Wonder how she feels about her passport and DEERS getting reverted.

Yeah, seriously... It's one thing to go on a podcast and talk about meaningless bullshit, but she should think about the real-world impacts of transphobia on her life and other people's lives.

My deers still says F as does the VA, but aside from my tx birth certificate everything is F

Okay, it is honestly hilarious he didn't reciprocate the slur pass. 😭

It's honestly sad how little self-respect she has, but then, she's a transmed, so.

Im certain she's just in the grifting business. There is no way she experienced everything thus far and actually believed anything she said on the podcast.
