I don't think offense is the issue. People are being fired, denied housing, and murdered for being trans for example. Joe Rogan called being transgender a "social contagion", which is going to cause people who respect and trust him to not want trans people around.

That's not really Joe Rogan's fault, though.

If somebody's going to commit an act of violence based on a radio host's statements then they already have serious issues, and it's only a matter of time before something sets them off.
