I'm really tired of the implied narrative around the Netflix-Chapelle-Trans debate being that transgender people are insisting that 'The Closer' be removed from the Netflix platform. That was never a request of their ERG. In fact, you can read the specifics of what they asked for here: https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/18/22733098/netflix-trans-e...

The overall theme of what they were asking for was around harm reduction and seeking equal time (and money) for trans-affirming content. Demanding that any art that offends you be eliminated isn't something that a wise person would broadly argue for, and that argument wasn't being made here.

The person talking loudest about cancelling Dave Chapelle... is Dave Chapelle.

A group that represents ~1% of people is demanding representation commensurate with the rest of the human population.

In a for profit environment.

Perhaps they need to readjust their expectations?

They're not asking that for every film that includes trans-people, there should be one that does.

They're asking that if Netflix has to show content that actively makes fun of or discriminates against trans-people, that Netflix will at least balance it out with positive representation.
