Wait, THIS is the one people were upset about? It's pretty much in line with trans-ally tumblr's own humor.
There was however another one where he talked about - iirc - cattle being fed hormones, and compared that to transgender people.

There we go: http://feministfilm.tumblr.com/post/20719874270/stephen-colbert-doubles-down-on-transphobic-joke
This, to be honest I found a lot less funny, and definitely not satirical. Like, he's not satirizing people's reactions to transgender people, the joke does not rely on people getting that it's wrong. It's just "transgender people and their freaky artificial hormones, amirite?"

And still, people don't get that "Stephen Colbert" is not the same person as Stephen Colbert. The whole point of the Colbert Report is that his character does tasteless jokes that a rightwing showmaster would do in earnest. When "Stephen Colbert" talks bullshit, he does so on purpose. Because it's bullshit and Stephen Colbert is aware of that. If you honestly take anything the character says on the show at face value, you have not understood a thing. I think he became very, very obvious lately so maybe people don't get it when he does more subtle satire.
