Men dressing as women in an over-the-top humorous manner, doesn't this belittle and insult transgender individuals? I'm surprised left-leaning SNL did this skit and even more surprised Michelle Obama was in it

How is that any different from white people using blackface?
I can't help but think there would be outrage over something like this if the skit wasn't done by SNL and featured a conservative politician instead. I feel something like that would be labeled as "more ridiculous intolerance from the right"
