Trixie Mattel facing backlash for inviting 'anti-LGBTQ+' comedian onto her show
"Cummings sparked backlash earlier this year after sharing jokes cut from her CNN New Year's Eve set, including one that misgendered Algerian boxer Imane Khelif. Khelif was bombarded with transphobic hate at last year's Paris Olympics after a row about her gender, despite her meeting all the relevant criteria to compete at the Games and the International Olympics Committee (IOC) ruling that her inclusion was "not a transgender issue" because she was born female and competes as a woman, went viral online."
""I came across a video of the fire chief. A lesbian. Love it.... Tried to be one, didn't take. "I don't think I'm a lesbian...I just live in Los Angeles. The men are so effeminate that honestly, at this point, dating a woman is like the straightest thing you can do." "I don't recall voting on a prop that said we could recruit our fire team off Grindr. What?""
Trixie Mattel invited Whitney Cummings onto her YouTube series Out of Pocket with Trixie Mattel. Whitney Cummings previously shared jokes cut from a CNN New Year's Eve set, including one that misgendered Algerian boxer Imane Khelif. Imane Khelif faced transphobic hate after a Paris Olympics row despite meeting competition criteria and an IOC ruling that her inclusion was "not a transgender issue" because she was born female and competes as a woman. Cummings also questioned LA's first openly gay fire chief and posted a now-deleted X video with derogatory remarks and an insinuation about recruiting via Grindr. The invitation prompted public backlash and criticism.
