'The Dark Queen' tackles Trans

Not so sure about the show director (Louis C.K. 🤨)

Adrienne Iapalucci

This is BIG! I think I might have discovered an actual Terf comedian/comedienne who dares to make jokes about Trans in actual public — and on Netflix, no less. Her name is Adrienne Iapalucci and her show ‘The Dark Queen’ has just ‘dropped’ and is a must watch for all Terfs. She is hilariously funny on Trans and many other taboo subjects.

There have been a few others to do spots of ‘Terf’ comedy, such as this younger woman, Biddy O’loughlin, from Adelaide Australia, who had her ticketed and sold out solo show cancelled a couple of months ago for containing ‘anti-trans’ material.

I saw (but can’t find now) Michelle Wolf deliver some Terfy material in a recent appearance, making fun of the hypocrisy of women who think other women who get fake boobs are vain, but when ‘transwomen’ get them it’s absolutely fab.

But ‘The Dark Queen’ is riskier and funnier on the subject — and others — than I have seen before, as far as I can tell at least, going further than any other to confront the hypocrisy and con being conducted across the West around men saying they are now women and must be seen as women by all, entirely without consideration for its harmful effects on women and girls.

One of her jokes was about how white women are the most hated people right now — totally get that. She starts: ‘There are only two white women who are not hated, that mother who finds the superhuman strength to save her son trapped under a car by being able to hold the car up so he can escape, and the Statue of Liberty. And both are probably transgender:

‘They tend to be the strongest women, transwomen. Nobody can tell us why though…Hmm…?

And the Statue of Liberty is probably trans too. Have you seen the size of her hands?’

She is altogether unapologetic about offending a variety of people, picking on everyone at some point. But she seems to have offended some Jewish people for suggesting Gaza was Israel’s fault. But she is a quarter Jewish herself, which she later mentions, and is only joking about such things, so I don’t feel offence should have been taken. From memory this reference was the first part of a joke in which the second part clarified that blame for Gaza could not be laid on either side and perhaps to help we could give the Palestinians casinos like the Native Americans were given as compensation for colonisation. Her delivery and timing are brilliant.

She crosses the line of good taste a couple of times, to my ears, but nothing major and there is a comedy payoff for crossing that line. She is ultimately cleverer than most in balancing the gamble and payoff of her riskier stuff.

The only slight issue I have with her show is that the ‘Louis C.K.’ comes up in the credits as the director. This took me back a bit, I’ll admit, as I worry he might be using her to worm his way back into the industry that he made so many women feel uncomfortable in by insisting they watch him wank.

Then again, if getting Netflix to promote this Terf comedian took Louis C.K.’s fallen star-power, I guess that’s okay. She deserves the platform and she could help to break the spell of silence and fear around talking Trans, which would be BIG!

All the same, let’s hope he can keep his dick in his pants and actually help women fight for our rights in comedy and beyond, rather than perpetrate more men’s wrongs. Men owe us.
