Shelton Benjamin took to Twitter today and clarified a tweet he made after fans said they were offended at what they said was an anti-transgender joke.
The WWE Superstar tweeted a photo of a pick-up truck that had an “I IDENTIFY AS A PRIUS” graphic on the back. The heat started picking up for Benjamin after one fan said the graphic mocks transgender people. Some fans agreed with that opinion but Benjamin also had a lot of people defending him on the thread. Former WWE Superstar MVP also chimed in on the thread.
You can see the main tweets below along with some of the fan comments:

Or he could be mocking Rachel Dolezal.

The real comedy is the people in the replies always getting offended over the dumbest shit.

Actually I’m not mocking anyone. I’m laughing at at a truck identifying as a Prius. There’s always gonna be someone trying to be preachy and go to a place that isnt even on my map.
