As Steve-O spoke about compassion for transgender people, the podcaster returned to familiar anti-trans attacks, even while acknowledging that men are the real problem.

    I’m just surprised Steve O was arguing for trans folk. He’s a little confused, but he’s got the right energy

      He’s always been a decent enough guy. Might take him time to catch up to new ideas, but he’s never been the kind of douche to rag on anyone at that level

      Edit: just in case, the “he” in this case was Steve-O. Rogan has always been a douche

      I’m not super attentive to the politics of steve-o, but the bits I have seen about him (outside the jackass world), are pretty damn cool.

      he did a “hot ones” interview and I think he talked about the dog he has and how they met and it was pretty darn adorable, from what I remember.

        He seems like a class act since he got sober, sincerely. Though I do recall some jarring stances he still keeps, can’t recall exactly what, nor will I speculate. Again, he’s got the right energy. Still a little confused in some regards. An ally in the making
