Unpopular opinion on hn here but Dave's trans skit hinges on his audience not knowing enough about trans people for him to get away with creative character assassination. He openly condemns their argument against Rowling as goal-posting make believe and in doing so lends his approval to her documented and open transphobia.
If anything it should be an indictment of how he treats his audience in 2021. There are plenty of hillarious trans jokes to be made but He needs to do a better job of reading the room. When you punch down in your sets, its bullying not satire.
Perhaps JK made some genuinely hurtful comments I'm unaware of, but given the ones that were quoted in a pearl-clutching context I'll believe that iff I see it. There is a school of thought that seeks to treat all trans-gendered or gender dysphoric people as a monolithic group who have only one correct course of action. The irony of that, given what gay-rights activists were working for within living memory, is so sharp as to be painful.
