25 YEARS OF TRANSPHOBIA IN COMEDY
There’s a scene from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) in which the title character, played by Jim Carrey, is so disgusted with himself that he pukes in the toilet twice and has to empty an entire tube of toothpaste to brush his teeth.

It’s a clear parody of scenes in dramas involving women who take showers after being sexually assaulted.
