Dave Chappelle is sparking conversation about transphobia as he addresses his past comments about the trans community in his latest Netflix comedy special."The Closer, " the sixth installment in the comedian's Netflix deal, which the "Chappelle's Show" comedian describes as "his last special for a minute, " includes tongue-in-cheek jokes about race, the coronavirus pandemic and negotiating "the release of DaBaby" after the rapper's homophobic comments. But Chappelle's comments on the transgender community, a topic for which he has received backlash, are stirring up more feedback. Chappelle doubled down on transphobic jokes by weighing in on comments J. K. Rowling made in December 2019. The "Harry Potter" author conflated sex with gender and defended ideas suggesting that changing one's biological sex was a threat to her own gender identity."They canceled J. Rowling – my God, " Chappelle says. "Effectually she said gender was a fact, the trans community got mad as (expletive), they started calling her a TERF.50 best TV shows to watch on Netflix right now: 'Seinfeld, ' 'You' Season 3 arrive in October"I'm Team TERF.

"While the traditional gender binary definition applies to those who were born either male or female at birth, many identify as nonbinary and don't consider themselves solely man or woman. TERF is an acronym that stands for "trans exclusionary radical feminists. " The term describes feminists who are transphobic. In his special, Chappelle gave the proper definition but added, "They look at trans women the way we Blacks might look at Blackface. ”TERF views "deny the validity of transgender people and transgender identities, " said Sarah McBride, national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign.

TERF ideology can result in reinforcing prejudices that lead to other forms of discrimination many transgender men and women can experience, such as in housing or employment. Discrimination also can lead to physical violence, which disproportionately affects the trans community, especially transgender women of color.'Being transgender is not a medical condition': The meaning of trans broken arm syndromeChapelle often toes the line of being adversary and harmful to marginalized communities. In his set, the comedian speaks out against transphobic laws while spreading harmful views."I’m very invested in the gender construct, personally, 'cause I’m a man with kids, ” Chappelle says. “This does not mean that I feel like another point of view can’t exist. ”"Dave chappelle claiming he’s a terf sorta soiled my day, " one Twitter user wrote."Oh the T community going to be mad once they see this Dave Chappelle standup lol, " a user wrote.
