Looking back at South Park's long history of transphobia

Last week's episode mocking trans athletes was the latest instance that Trey Parker and Matt Stone have used transgender people for comedy.

they make fun of everything, not sure why trans people should be off limits

Author Jude Dry is a butch SJW. Not the first time I've read her shit.
Ms Garrison was South Park's first hate crime.

"This latest example is only a continuation of a pattern that has long served to alienate viewers and reflect poorly on a show "
Yet Band in China and Board Girls are the highest rated episodes of the last three seasons. Other episodes she hates are great too.

Snowflake Award for: But the most offensive lines (and this is where trans people might want to stop reading) in the episode come from Garrison herself, when she becomes incensed that she can’t get her period or get pregnant. “This would mean I’m not really a woman. I’m just a guy with a mutilated penis,” Garrison says. “You made me into a freak.”

Also why did they make the athlete look and talk just like the late Randy (Macho Man) Savage ? Unless that was the joke: that all transsexual athletes (male to female) are like macho men.
