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

Forstater was not a simple case of someone tweeting something innocuous in passing, it involved months of campaigning to take away the rights that trans women have today for protection against the misogynistic sexism and sexual violence they face for being women, and a refusal to respect trans people for who they are. This was an attempt to create a false dichotomy between supporting trans rights and just agreeing with the entire field of biology. The position that she takes isn’t the “belief that sex is determined by biology”, it is the the belief that everyone is put into box based on their genitals at birth: girl or boy, and that that is what they are for the rest of their lives. This is false and is not supported by science — biology is far more nuanced and complicated than that. Trans people, intersex people, doctors, experts and feminists aren’t arguing that sex isn’t real, they are arguing the opposite: that in reality it isn’t black and white.

Leaving aside the fact that recent (recently repeated I should point out) revelations about Facebook should make anyone skeptical about groups which can be identified by the platform on which they appear to exist, do the two points in bold not contradict each other somewhat?

Right, a trans "woman" cannot give birth can they? nor can they have a period. Nothing can change that!

She stated plenty of times that people should respect the rights of transgender people and their identity.

let's look into the case and what her beliefs are:-

She claimed she was discriminated against because of her beliefs, which include "that sex is immutable and not to be conflated with gender identity".

Let's look at sex determination and what makes a male a male - the Y chromosome, the fact someone has it makes them male or we could look at like XY is male and XX is female in biology and this is there from the get go.

Sexual characteristic is determined by biology and without it we wouldn't exist as we do, the determination or presence of Y determines how are sexual characteristics are developed and therefore how we reproduce and survive.

Sexual differentiation occurs later but the sex is already determined.

It is that simple, it's not nuanced or false at all it is determined from the get go, even if I was XY and wanted to wear a dress my sex has been determined already and all the surgery in the world will not change the presence of a Y chromosome.

We could look at pathways and bring intersex disorders (and the hormone relation) into this but it still doesn't change our sexual evolution, you'll note that XXY and XXX types do not have genitalia issues so can assume the issue to that is hormonal and a pathway issue not chromosomal and guess what the same applies to plants.

So tell me again how she was wrong? as I just don't see it.

She is arguing to take away the rights of transwomen to use female spaces.

You can have opposing views and have a debate, you don't go and get people sacked for having differing views or just slating them for their views.

I think Brexit is a load of shite but I don't impose my viewpoint on others or go out of my way to attack etc those that differ to my viewpoint.

So no I don't think it is contradictive, the latter highlighted may of been vindictive though.

Do you support transwomen continuing to use female and/or female only spaces ?

Or do you support cancelling them?

I think James Acaster did a pretty spot on job of taking the hand out of so called edgy comedians who rip into trans people.

It's not for me to support or cancel I'd say that's down to women, cis, trans or whatever.

Don't have a position on whether transwomen should be allowed to continue to use female spaces but you rush to the defence of JK because people were mean to her on twitter ?

Speaks volumes.

A. You have a problem that she is rich?

B. You state she sprouts shi*e? is not allowed to? that is her viewpoint

C. By all means you can counter her view and debate but when as you state are mean! then you are a ****.

It's a tad rich but not in the least bit surprising...that netflix (which is extremely pro LGBT when it suits them) decided to suspend a trans employee who was critical of the stand up....not exactly a sign of freedom of speech which Dave Chapelle likes to go on about.
