Now, this Kate McKinnon, she’s been a pretty big name, folks. Ya know, she’s been around for years, makin’ folks laugh on Saturday Night Live and in movies like Ghostbusters. But lately, folks been talkin’ ‘bout her in a way that’s got people scratchin’ their heads. Some folks been sayin’ she’s transphobic. Now, I ain’t one to spread gossip, but let’s take a look at what folks been sayin’ and see if there’s any truth to it.
First thing ya gotta know is, Kate McKinnon, she’s openly gay. Ain’t no secret about that. She’s been out there, proud as a rooster in the morning, and folks love her for it. She’s played a lotta roles that bring a smile to people’s faces, like her spot on SNL where she does all sorts of funny characters. One time, she even played a fortune teller named Madame Vivelda, and people laughed ‘til they cried. But there’s somethin’ deeper goin’ on here, folks. Some people been bringin’ up her views about gender identity, and it’s caused quite a stir.
Now, it all started with her being accused of bein’ transphobic. But what does that mean, you ask? Well, it’s a term used for folks who have views against transgender people, especially when it comes to things like allowing trans women into women-only spaces. Folks been sayin’ she’s got views like that, but I’m here to tell ya, it ain’t always so clear-cut.
Some people say that McKinnon ain’t no TERF. Now, what’s a TERF, you ask? Well, that stands for “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.” These folks got some pretty strong, and even violent, views about women and trans folks, and they don’t want ‘em in women’s spaces. But McKinnon, well, she ain’t really fit into that category. Some folks say her views on gender identity don’t line up with those who hold TERF beliefs. So, folks have been scratchin’ their heads, wonderin’ if she’s really as bad as folks say she is.
Now, let’s talk about the SNL skit that got folks talkin’. You might remember back in 2019, Kate did a bit where she played a fortune teller, Madame Vivelda, warnin’ folks that “change is comin’.” Some folks saw that skit as a jab at the whole idea of the “male gaze” in Hollywood and how they cast straight folks in roles for the applause. Some thought it was a smart commentary on how Hollywood works, but others weren’t so sure. Some said it was a little too harsh, and they didn’t like what it was sayin’ about transgender people.
But let’s be real, folks, SNL’s been walkin’ on eggshells for a while now when it comes to these kinds of jokes. They’ve had their share of LGBTQ+ jokes that didn’t sit right with everyone. A lotta people, especially in the trans community, weren’t too happy with some of the stuff that went down on that stage. So, when Kate McKinnon’s name gets thrown into the mix, it don’t always bring good vibes.
But wait a minute, folks. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Some of this talk could just be folks makin’ assumptions. There’s folks who say she ain’t meanin’ to hurt anybody, and she’s just tryin’ to be funny. Ya know, it’s tough to say what somebody really believes when all we see is the jokes they tell on TV. She’s been on the big stage for years, and it’s easy for people to judge her based on one or two things they hear, even if they don’t got the full story.
And don’t forget, this is the same woman who made us laugh with her hilarious impersonations of folks like Hillary Clinton and Justin Bieber. She’s got a gift for bringin’ laughter to people’s faces, and we shouldn’t just forget that because of a few misunderstandings. It ain’t right to label someone without gettin’ the full picture first.
Now, I reckon there’s always gonna be people who disagree with what McKinnon’s said or done. That’s just the way it is, especially in today’s world where everybody’s got an opinion. Some folks might say she’s transphobic, while others might say she’s just misunderstood. But what’s important is, we gotta keep an open mind and remember that folks can change, and they can learn from their mistakes.
In the end, whether Kate McKinnon is transphobic or not, that’s somethin’ only she can answer. We can only go by what she says and does. But let’s not be too quick to judge, folks. Let’s give her a chance to explain herself, and let’s remember all the good she’s done too. She’s been a part of SNL for years, she’s made us laugh ‘til we cried, and she’s been a role model for a lotta people, especially in the LGBTQ+ community. Ain’t that worth a little bit of trust?
