The Ideal Trans Person: Country Club, Not Tumblr
from #253 - Jenner's Joyride | The Tim Dillon Show · #253
5 min
Tim argues society needs wealthy, unapologetic trans and gay figures like Jenner rather than "tumblr" or "anime" types, praising her toughness and Sean Hannity interview style, then gets interrupted by a call about a cabana.
- Trans people should include a wealthy, out-of-touch trans Olympian with money and no guilt—the ideal representation.
- Tim defends Caitlyn Jenner as tough and unsentimental, unwilling to tolerate whimpering about hardship.
- His old joke: we need violent gay people and insensitive trans people with money who aren't ashamed of success.
- Caitlyn interviewed Sean Hannity in her airplane hangar—a spectacle of political theater, not primarily about her transition.
- Caitlyn speaks like Trump, off-the-cuff, calling herself a disrupter who will shake up California.
- California should have Caitlyn Jenner as governor, balancing her trans identity against her millionaire conservatism.
- A chief executive needs not to dwell on past actions—Caitlyn doesn't spend a minute thinking about the people she killed in the car accident.
- Tim compares Caitlyn's ability to move on to George H.W. Bush, who didn't think much about his partner's death in a plane crash.
