Ex-MMA Fighter Is Coming For Joe Rogan After ‘Transphobic’ Comments

Joe Rogan has cultivated a wide audience with his no-filter podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience”. When Joe Rogan shares his political and social views on the podcast, he is often criticized. This was the case when Rogan recently made critical comments about the transgender community.

“There are people who really have these thoughts,” Joe Rogan said on his podcast, which airs exclusively on Spotify. “The problem is it becomes a protected subject and then you get praised for transferring your gender—for changing your gender. And then it gets exciting for people to talk about, and then you get chastised for even discussing it in any weird way.”

“And then people who were marginalized for being—like, generally dumb people, if they transfer over and become another gender, then they get praised,” Rogan added. “There are a lot of people who are idiots, but then they become trans, and now all of a sudden we think they’re amazing.”

Now, ex-MMA fighter Fallon Fox is calling for Joe Rogan to be canceled over these comments.

“Joe Rogan is being transphobic yet again,” Fallon Fox said via Bro Bible. “He has had more transphobic episodes than you can shake a stick at. Spotify needs to cancel his show already.”

Fallon Fox transitioned in 2006, and has been heavily scrutinized by Rogan in the past.

“She calls herself a woman but… I tend to disagree,” Rogan said on his JRE podcast in 2013. “She used to be a man but now she has had, she’s a transgender which is (the) official term that means you’ve gone through it, right? And she wants to be able to fight women in MMA. I say no f***ing way. I say if you had a d*** at one point in time, you also have all the bone structure that comes with having a d***. You have bigger hands, you have bigger shoulder joints. You’re a f***ing man. That’s a man, OK? I don’t care if you don’t have a d*** anymore.”

While it might be in Joe Rogan’s interest to keep some of his opinions to himself, I highly doubt that’ll happen anytime soon.
