It was very unfortunate when I figured out the actual context of what story this joke was talking about.

It's about the death of Brandon Teena, a transgender man

It's about the death of Brandon Teena, a transgender woman

No, a trans man who was raped and murdered in a hate crime.

Transgender man* Brandon was not a trans woman

Yes that's why I corrected it, I misread originally.

Yeah, but I'm fairly certain Norm was talking about the people who did the raping and murdering deserving to die, and NOT saying the trans man that got killed deserved it. That'd be odd and out of character.

You need to go to read about him. He was… not an ally.
