| RuPaul was asked by Mark Maron about the use of the term"tranny" in 2016. This was his response. The drag performer sat down with comedian Marc Maron on his WTF Podcast this week and articulated his thoughts surrounding the language-based controversy, which he has refrained from addressing until now. "When asked whether he is bothered by the word “tranny,” RuPaul responded by saying, “No! I love the word tranny.” Maron then noted that the trans community is offended by the term, to which Ru responded: No, it is not the transsexual community. These are fringe people who are looking for story lines to strengthen their identity as victims. That is what we’re dealing with. It’s not the trans community, because most people who are trans have been through hell and high water and they know — they’ve looked behind the curtain at Oz and went, ‘Oh, this is all a f**king joke. But, some people haven’t... You know, if your idea of happiness has to do with someone else changing what they say, what they do, you are in for a f**king hard-ass road." |
