However, its not the only time Roseanne ruffled feathers with her views on the trans community. In 2012, in reference to politician Jill Steins support for trans rights, she said: [Stein] is also in favour of letting men into spaces where little girls get changed. If she has a penis, she is not allowed in.

For the record, my most charitable possible interpretation is that shes a comedian who has been confusing being offensive with being funny and did it continuously for years and in the worst possible way (even Tom Green grew out of that shit). Part of that same charitable theory is that the reason she confused the two is because she is seriously mentally ill.
I used to know a bunch of Sovereign Citizens and militia weirdos and assorted right wing hangers-on (my best friends parents started the local militia group and we were teenagers with nothing better to do except smoke pot and giggle in the back of their meetings, because even as children we knew they were all ridiculous). All were serious. All were misguided. Many were dumb and/or looking to belong to any group that would have them. A few were just crazy.
Roseanne reminds me of all of them: serious, misguided, a little dumb, and definitely crazy as shit.
This is funny.
