Dave Chapelle's Netflix special facing cancellation after trans comments leave critics irate
Fox News
Dave Chappelle's Netflix special is facing cancellation after repeated calls have been made to pull it from the streamer.
The "Harry Potter" writer, 56, doubled down on several occasions, arguing that trans women are not actually women, prompting swift and immediate backlash from the transgender community as many activists continue to fight to dissuade people of similar negative stereotypes.
Rowling was labeled a "TERF," which stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist," essentially a term for people who call themselves feminists while still being transphobic.
"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."
