I don’t really find it funny, but I do think it’s more positive than transphobic. It’s pretty light-hearted but does at the same time show a certain “normalization”of gender reassignment. Then again, I’m not transgender, so it’s not really up to me to decide whether it’s in bad taste.

SNL rips off every possible version of human and human products known to mankind in their mock-ads. They are not sid-splitting! Just two minutes of silliness. Gay/Trans/Bi…whatever….it distresses the hell out of me that we take it so seriously. Last year, the gay comunity was bitching about New Zealand Airlines in-flight messaging. Then Spud. Now this! Get a life. not an issue
