WHY WHY WHY!!! Never apologize. Or do the democrat style non apology apology.
“I am sorry you have no sense of humor and don’t appreciate a good joke.”
So this is where we are. You are not allowed to tell a joke, even a private joke ,about any liberal or leftist sacred cow ,such as transgender people.
Somebody once said something,to paraphrase, that you know who controls you by knowing who you are not allowed to tell jokes about.
The leftists have great power in this country.
