Netflix special once again telling jokes about transgender people.The Dreamer premiered on Netflix on December 31 and was a full-circle moment for the comedian who described his first performance in the same theater where the special was recorded. Most of the material was about his aspirations when first starting out and how he learned how to become successful.However, the comedian dedicated the first portion of the special to transgender people after facing ongoing criticism for previous jokes he made about them in his other Netflix shows."I love punching down," he said, and told the audience he did not want to joke about transgender people anymore because the previous drama he faced wasn't "worth the trouble.""If you guys came here to this show tonight thinking that I'm going to make fun of those people again, you've come to the wrong show. I'm not f****** with those people anymore.
It wasn't worth the trouble. I ain't saying s*** about them," Chappelle said."Maybe three or four times tonight, but that's it. I'm tired of talking about them.
And you want to know why I'm tired of talking about them? Because these people acted like I needed them to be funny. Well, that's ridiculous. I don't need you.
I got a whole new angle coming. You guys will never see this s*** coming. I ain't doing trans jokes no more."Chappelle explained he would turn his attention to "handicapped" people instead because "they're not as organized as the gays.
And I love punching down.""To be honest with you, I've been trying to repair my relationship with the transgender community cause I don't want them to think that I don't like them. You know how I've been repairing it? I wrote a play. I did.
Cause I know that gays love plays."It's a very sad play, but it's moving. It's about a Black transgender woman whose pronoun is, sadly, n*****. It's a tear-jerker.
