I asked a friend and she gave me this explanation: "It's not compassionate to remind transgender people that they're a minority that often has trouble "passing" and face extreme violence bc of that...if you were a trans woman in the audience who'd been beat up for not being able to pass as cis, how would it make you feel to have that treated like a joke" Seems reasonable. I retract my previous comment.
