Is Dave Chappelle's new special "The Closer" really transphobic?

Obviously this would seem like the kind of content comedians would be interested in. I mean look at the guy stumbling over such a simple question. He would defer to a medical professional? Haha. Is intersex not incredibly rare and also caused by some kind of disorder?

Theres a good explanation here

Dave Chappelle will no doubt be considered transphobic by some members of the transsexual/transgender community. There may be others within that community who haven't really a problem with what Chappelle said, but we don't hear from them because they're not out there crowing about it - they just want to live a quiet life. We seem to be constantly falling into a trap these days of assuming that outspoken people on social media are the voice of those who they claim to represent. If we've learned nothing from the Facebook effect on political discourse, it's that the people who shout the loudest and most extremely will get the most attention. And to add to that, media outlets stand to make a lot of money by making more out of these culture war issues than they really are, just as social media platforms stand to generate revenue by buoying up those of an extreme opinion, which promotes 'engagement', as it is now known.

There is a clear and unambiguous racist undertone to the way Chapelle is being targeted.

It's worth a watch. I enjoyed it but it is as others have said probably too focused on one subject. He's a master of his craft so worth watching for that alone.

or exaggerated by those wishing to profit from the gullible and/or permanently outraged..

Felt like this one was more about him explaining his views and very clearly declaring his opinion on trans people will not be shared with the public as a result of his friends suicide. The irony of people getting worked up about this netflix special is too much considering alot of his time is spent detailing just how severe the effects of cancel culture can be.

For the comedy, no, but I won't forget the bit were Chappelle mimicked the mother of a transgender person after showing him a pic of her - "she's - trans- gen - der". That was funny. As was the bit about the person he had some kind of altercation with who tied their shirt up in a knot, Britney Spears style.

Anyway, initially I regretted signing up for a month of Netflix just to watch Chappelle and catch a few series besides but after watching the doc "Disclosure" and "The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson" I don't regret it now.

So the Disclosure doc is about a number of Trans actors complaining about how trans people are depicted in film and TV over the years. In it Laverne Cox (trans) made the oft made claim that trans people started the gay rights movement. Two in particularly, Marsha p Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. Cox goes on to say that trans people of colour have been 'erased' and 'as she understands it', it was this "trans women of colour" that started the gay rights movement... so us gays have them to thank for our rights. I've always said, that that is total nonsense, purely based on my own intuition. Also, Susan Stryker, another actor said 'gay men are the most transphobic' of all. I'll come back to that later.

Now the Martha Doc. Well to my surprise the doc had lots of video footage of this person as well as Sylvia Rivera which I was unaware existed. Martha was found in the Hudson river and was suspected of being murdered. Anyone who watches that doc and things that either of those people were the leaders of a gay rights movement need their heads examined. The doc did not reveal any activism at all save for dressing up as a drag queen at gay rights rallies. And they weren't even transgender, they were homosexual queens. And that explains why they were hanging out in gay bars. Even if they are transgender they are still both clearly homosexuals. So the claim is even more absurd than I initially thought.

Martha's parents referred to Martha as him when interviewed where the interviewer referred to him as 'her'. Martha referred to everyone gay as queens. There was footage of Martha referring to 'normal' gays as 'the butch queens'. That was the mentality of Martha who would prolly think all gay men are transgender by today's definition, which is the kind of mentality that has feminine gay feminine men increasingly coming out as non-binary or whatever it is. I know those type of people and they are defiantly not transgender, at best they are transsexuals of one variety or other to one degree or other, or even queen will do, since I don't think there is an accurate term to describe them.

So back to Susan Stryker. Why would Stryker say in a documentary for all to see that she things gay men are the most transphobic of all. It's simple. It's because gay people like me (butch queens) have an insight into this topic that heterosexuals don't have, therefore it is trivially easy for us to expose the bullshit of the trans ideologues. In a previous thread I half-joked that we'll have a personality Pride next and in fact that is precisely what is going on. Part of it anyway.

So the point is, you can't believe a word these trans ideologues say - about absolutely anything related to trans. I don't even consider them as trans, I consider then as Radical Leftist 'Progressives', because it's an insult to sane trans people to speak of them the way I do as trans generally. Shouldn't tar everyone with the same brush you see. They are at the root of all these ongoing trans controversies, so it is not right for LLMMLL to talk of use here as anti-trans, but anti trans-ideologues, or better still, anti radical-leftists.

If anyone want's to watch a more realistic documentary than that fake glitzy American one then I strongly recommend currently on the BBC iPlayer "Inside Story - A Change of Sex". A brilliant doc that documents the life of Julia Grant over a couple of decades, now deceased. Lovely genuine person she was to, not like those fake American actors with their fake tears and lies as seen in Disclosure.

To finish, this is a photo of Marsha P Johnson

Is this

a: A trans woman of colour who started the gay rights movement

or

b: a male homosexual queen who frequented gay bars who just happened to be around at the time of the Stonewall riots?

You decide.

Yep - I explicitly requested clarification from the mods - no shame in that.. meanwhile the thread took all sorts of wild turns last night (in lieu of that clarification).

before I asked the thread wasn't too divergent.. now its the wild west of bs (of which you have been a significant driver).

@Ten of Swords / @Baggly / @Beasty  

Tagging again because who knows what's allowed with all this crazy anecdotal makey-upy nonsense..

All the TERFs and Transphobes can all congregate and take a good hard look at themselves, sure.

That describes the TERF movement
