'Feel Good' creator Mae Martin talks about their debut Netflix stand-up special Sap, trans rights, and how so many comedians these days are “being tricked.”
When you’re someone who’s part of the trans community, it can feel like a lose-lose. Because as soon as I start talking about it, people are like, “Ugh, these people are constantly whining.” But it’s also a very crucial time to present a counterargument to the very loud people with huge platforms who are weighing in in bad faith about things that have real-life consequences.
When I was touring the show I tried it — not naming them. It just felt like I was trying to be coy. I feel confident about what I’m saying, so I might as well just name them. The main thing I wish is that straight allies with bigger platforms would be brave enough to weigh in as well. Because it’s easy to dismiss queer people as being constantly up in arms about something. But with the legislation, we’re seeing such terrifying real-life consequences.
