"Netflix CEO argues that Chappelle’s new special, criticized as transphobic, is too popular to cancel" by Julian Mark.
The memo followed condemnation from Jaclyn Moore, a transgender writer who worked on the Netflix original “Dear White People”....
Last week, Moore... wrote on Twitter that Chappelle used to be one of her “heroes.” “But he said he’s a TERF,” Moore wrote. “He compared my existence to someone doing blackface.” Moore said she was “done” with Netflix.
I recommend more speech. Why is what transgender women are doing different from blackface? Moore's answer is implied and worth discussing: Because it's "my existence."
By the way, I was just reading the 1995 book "Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley" and I encountered this:
[Dewey Phillips had a radio show of a type that] had started in Memphis and that was springing up in one form or another all across the South: black music on a white radio station with a strong Negro audience and a growing, if for the most part unacknowledged, core of young white listeners with a growing, if for the most part unexamined, buying power. ...
Perhaps [Sam Phillips and Dewey Phillips] wandered over to Beale Street, where Dewey, who has been described as “transracial” by more than one admirer, could go wherever he liked, where Dewey, Sam came to see with some ambivalence, was “a hero, everyone loved him.”
Of course, Dewey wasn't attempting to look like a black person, so that's not like blackface at all, but there is the idea of a white person finding his "existence" (or identity) with things associated with black people and viewing it in a very positive way.
If you look up the word "transracial," you'll be swamped with material about the "transracial" adoption of children, so I failed to find other examples of "transracial" that paralleled "transgender."
