turns out there's a lot of deep-seated misogyny and transphobia in the gay redneck meth zoo community

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2020/03/tiger-king-presents-trans-man-butch-lesbian-entire-show/

'Saff, one of the show’s only sympathetic characters, is presented as a lesbian and repeatedly misgendered on camera. On the Trans Day of Visibility, it’s worth pointing out that he is actually a transgender man. [...]

One of the zoo’s longest and most dedicated employees, Saff had his arm amputated after a tiger attacked him. Within a few days, he was back at work. Footage taken at the time shows Exotic worrying about the zoo’s customers and his personal finances more than Saff’s health.'

(or pronouns)

'Robert Moor, who produced a podcast about the sordid story before Netflix’s documentary, pointed out on Twitter that the show pretty much erased Saff’s gender identity.

“A useful piece of info for anyone discussing the show: Saff, the person who got mauled by the tiger, told me repeatedly that he is trans, prefers to be called Saff (not ‘Kelci’), and uses he/him pronouns. So please do likewise,” Moor tweeted.

He added, “It’s tricky, because all of the news broadcasts at the time, and most of the people at the zoo, use the wrong pronouns for Saff. (Joe was particularly bad about this.)”'
