In his recent Netflix special, “The Dreamer,” Dave Chappelle has once again sparked controversy with remarks deemed transphobic. This follows his previous specials, “The Closer” and “What’s in a Name?”, which similarly attracted criticism for their treatment of transgender issues.

Lysette’s Rebuttal

Trace Lysette, an acclaimed actress known for her roles in “Transparent” and “Hustlers,” took to social media to express her dismay at Chappelle’s comments. In a TikTok video, Lysette humorously yet pointedly critiques Chappelle’s ongoing focus on transgender individuals in his comedy, questioning the underlying reasons for his repeated jabs at the community.

Chappelle’s Response

Chappelle, in his special, acknowledges the backlash from previous shows but continues to make transgender people a subject of his humor. He compares transgender individuals to actors who method act, claiming they are pretending to be something they’re not. His approach to comedy, once celebrated for its incisive social commentary, now faces scrutiny for its perceived insensitivity and repetitiveness regarding transgender issues.
