‘I'm team TERF’: Dave Chapelle defends JK Rowling in Netflix special

Dave Chappelle has shown support for JK Rowling after discussing the writer’s comments about the transgender community.

In standup special The Closer, the 48-year-old comedian said he “agrees” that “gender is a fact”, as he discussed how the Harry Potter author had been branded a “Terf” (Trans-exclusionary radical feminist).

Chappelle said: “They cancelled JK Rowling. She said gender was a fact, the trans community got mad as s***, they started calling her a Terf… I’m Team Terf. Gender is a fact.”

The US comedian claimed he does not have any issue with the trans community, nor does he think “trans women aren’t women”.
