I didn’t know what a hen-do is, but she was pretty clear that she wasn’t making a racial reference. So, being a reasonable person, I looked it up. A hen-do is a bachelorette party (party of all women to celebrate a woman getting married). So, chill out. 🤨

For those who are confused, and it is really, very important: HEN-DO. Hen. Do. Hen-do. Bachelorette party. Bunch of hens on a night out before the main hen's big day. Like a stag-do but for women. Hen-do on a train. Brilliant video, fantastic comics! Maybe give us proper subtitles though! Not such a fan of the trans joke personally, seems just a bit mean towards any trans women listening, but I can see why some would see it as making fun of transphobia more so than trans people.
