Daily Show host Desi Lydic has form on calling out Fox News hypocrisy, and on Wednesday she turned her attention to channel’s recent outrage over Easter happening to fall on Trans Visibility Day.
After rightly pointing out that Trans Visibility Day — which celebrates trans and non-binary people and raises awareness of the discrimination they face and the restriction of their human rights — occurs on March 31 every year whereas Easter weekend changes annually, Lydic made it clear that the main goal here was simply to stir up outrage.
“For what it’s worth, there’s a false premise at the heart of this entire controversy, which is that there’s even a conflict between trans people and Christianity to begin with,” says Lydic. “There isn’t. In fact the bible doesn’t say anything about trans people. It does, however, say to love thy neighbour, and to not judge other people.”
