Comedian Dave Chappelle isn’t shying away from making jokes about transgender people and woke critics are calling for his cancellation. 

In his sixth Netflix comedy special, “The Closer,” Chappelle said the trangender community “want me dead” for making transphobic jokes. 

“Any of you who have ever watched me know that I have never had a problem with transgender people. If you listen to what I’m saying, clearly, my problem has always been with white people,” he cracked. The comedian explained his less-than-popular belief that “Gender is a fact.” 

“Every human being in this room, every human being on Earth, had to pass through the legs of a woman to be on Earth,” he argued. “That is a fact.” 

“Now, I am not saying that to say trans women aren’t women, I am just saying that those p*****s that they got … you know what I mean? I’m not saying it’s not p***y, but it’s Beyond P***y or Impossible P***y,” he joked. “It tastes like p***y, but that’s not quite what it is, is it? That’s not blood. That’s beet juice.”

Chappelle went on to defend Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who’s life was threatened by transgender activists after she wrote an essay in 2020 that explained her belief that feminism conflicted with the transgender movement. 

“It isn’t enough for women to be trans allies. Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves,” Rowling wrote. “But, as many women have said before me, ‘woman’ is not a costume.” 

“They canceled J.K. Rowling – my God,” Chappelle says in his special. “Effectively, she said gender was a fact, the trans community got mad as (expletive), they started calling her a TERF.”

Chappelle supported Rowling, who self-identifies as a “TERF,” or “trans-exclusionary radical feminist,” and doesn’t believe that she should have been cancelled for her remarks. “I’m team TERF. I agree. I agree, man,” he exclaimed, “Gender is a fact.” 

The comedian was condemned by GLAAD and The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) for his remarks. 

“Dave Chappelle’s brand has become synonymous with ridiculing trans people and other marginalized communities,” GLAAD tweeted. “Negative reviews and viewers loudly condemning his latest special is a message to the industry that audiences don’t support platforming anti-LGBTQ diatribes. We agree.”

The NBJC called for Netflix to pull his comedy special from the streaming platform. “Netflix should know better,” said NBJC executive director David Johns. “Perpetuating transphobia perpetuates violence. Netflix should immediately pull ‘The Closer’ from its platform and directly apologize to the transgender community.”

Those transgender advocates are raving loonies.
But they are dangerous raving loonies because they hurt people for real.
Socialists in all its shapes and forms including the gender-madness hate humor because the only real weapon against maniacs in power is … humor. And the transgender raving loonies are in power because they have a@@-licking media peddling their madness for making more money. Media is the whores of socialism.

Why is it that these groups struggling with their identity always put on these happy faces with names like GAY and GLAAD with rainbow flags all up in everybody’s face? Other groups with various addictions don’t hide behind “glad to be on the loosing end” acronyms pretending to be all happy about it…just saying

I’m glad I watched it already, before the perpetually offended ones have it cancelled. What a bunch of wusses!
