    “We are in a new dawn of gender and sex complexity, where those who don’t fit in a simple binary are meant to be seen with humanity,” he says. “It wasn’t always like this, people. As recently as, let’s say, the 1990s, early 2000s, people were making shitty, reductive jokes about the subject.”

    Stewart laughs uncomfortably as a decades-old photo of himself on The Daily Show appeared on screen beside him. “What can I say, the joke rhymed,” he adds. “Shitty and reductive jokes are kind of my brand.”

    Dont know if you read that, but the article does not contain the phrase "I'm sorry"

      I hadn't read that, but that is definitely not an apology. The article is weirdly written, since at first it seems to be criticizing him for not being apologetic enough about his past shitty jokes, mentions him defending Chappelle (:stalin-gun-1: :stalin-gun-2: ), but at the end it brushes that off and goes all ”Wow, he's grown so much as person!”.
