The best thing about liberals is the purity tests.

It's not a purity test to not want people punching down on marginalized people.

I'm not even sure what a purity test is anymore... I've only seen it in defense of transphobia. I have no power over Colbert's choice of jokes. I can only criticize bigotry where I see it.

I've had tough conversations about transphobia with other trans people, supportive family members, friends... literal, personal, allies and I'm sill critical of them sometimes. Why the fuck should I give Colbert, with a huge megaphone and audience, a free pass?

They just want a safe punching bag to mock as they claim a moral high ground, even though they agree that trans people are "crazy" like Republicans do.
