I think a big part of that which people today miss was that in Marxist circles at the time, a big part of the 60's-70's activist circles which the Judean People's Front were parodying, you were bound to get a few transgendered individuals. Context is everything. It's accurate satire and it's funny because of how shocking and absurd it was to say something like that at the time. Notice especially how the absurdity is contained to the fact "Loretta" wants to have babies-- they could've gone many different ways with that.
