Amanda Devlin, The Sun, 26th October 2022Sexist comedy is back: Jordan Gray is Bernard Manning for the woke set

But when Jordan Gray gets his knob out during a comedy routine - I say comedy... - it's 'iconic', deserving of 'praise', possibly the 'TV MOMENT OF THE YEAR!'. What's with the double standard? It's simple: Gray is trans, and that means he can do whatever the fuck he wants.
