Is it possible that Rudolph self-identifies as male anyway?

I didn’t find a thing wrong with any of those tweets.

[Klaus]

I for one am upset that he uses an irrelevant biological feature to make assumptions about gender.

[jon-nyc]

By the way reindeer is delicious. I had it a couple of times in Finland. As a steak and as a burger.

You know those conservatives - they're very sensitive about people saying funny stuff on Twitter.

[Jolly]

Being an asshole isn't funny.

TBH, I was never a big fan of Tyson, but I didn't think his Tweets were particularly egregious.

There's certainly a lot worse out there.

I don't think it's really all that awful, either, I just think it's a dick thing to do.

Trust me, I would know.
