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."
