Bryan Callen

Here's my theory.

I want to hear what you think of this.

I was thinking about this.

I think part of the transgender thing, at least in colleges and among – and it's interesting how it took root in places of higher education –

I think what happened was there was currency in being a minority.

There was currency in being oppressed.

There's currency in being somebody who's marginalized and struggling.

There's something when you are not that, when you are not in those positions, when you're looking at it, somehow it got a little bit romanticized.

Well, sure.

You get to be a minority.

And if you're black, brown, indigenous, you have to go through slavery, hundreds of years of brutal colonization.

But when you're white, you can be blonde, hair blue.

I come from a great family.

But you can be a minority on the same level.

As somebody who's black, because you feel like it.

Because you, your feeling, you have your feelings.

You feel like a minority.

Therefore, I don't have to pay a price for anything.

But I get to be on the same level.

I can be a bigger minority than Dave Chappelle, who's a black man.
