Their jokes about assigning gender to babies and to being transgender, dressing in drag, like all of it was a send-up.

Sure, they did punch down if you were a person who were in those groups, but the fact that it was large enough social event to be relevant enough to be a comedy skit on a television show or a movie seen by millions implies that there were some serious things going on back then that they could see and wanted to address.

What the hell was going on that put all of those things in their mind?

      That’s such an interesting statement.

      Irrelevant for my post, since I lived in Britain for over a decade, but interesting.

      Thank you for sharing that tidbit about yourself.
