Dave Chappelle says he's 'Team TERF,' defends J.K. Rowling in new Netflix comedy special

Dave Chappelle's comments on the transgender community in "The Closer" are stirring up feedback as he mockingly calls himself transphobic.

Netflix suspends trans employee who tweeted about Dave Chappelle special

At least one trans employee is quitting due to the controversy.

The Verge

Many in the notes have pointed out that the reason for the suspension was that this trans woman tried to attend a meeting she wasn’t invited to.

Note the way in which the language used to describe the situation invokes images of violence and aggression.

Frequently it isn’t “tried to attend” it’s

“barged in”

“tried to force her way in”

“shoved their way in”

“crashed”

It’s not just on Tumblr either, anywhere this topic is being discussed this type of language is being used to describe the actions of this trans woman.

But why? Is it true? Well it was an online meeting. How exactly one “barges into” an online meeting is beyond me.

None of the numerous articles written about the topic at hand mention any adverse consequence caused by this trans woman attempting to attend this meeting. Yet both terfs and “allies” alike speak of it like they know for sure that it was some kind of aggressive and disruptive act.

Regarding the tweets, a Netflix spokesperson has even said “Employees are encouraged to openly disagree and we support their right to do so.”

How is suspending employees trying to address their concerns with the people who have the power to change things “encouraging open disagreement”?

At many other companies an employee attending a meeting they weren’t invited to doesn’t come close to a suspendable offense. It certainly seems to me that this suspension is implied retaliation for the tweets.

The terfs were never going to change but allies stop doing transphobes work for them by defending Netflix and baselessly describing trans women’s actions as aggressive and violent challenge

Hey y'all want a fun update to the “barging aggressively into a zoom meeting somehow” story?

She was sent a link to the meeting by one of the corporate directors

Oops! Their attempt to set her up failed
