A Netflix group for trans workers is coordinating a company-wide walkout protesting the company's latest comedy special from Dave Chappelle and Netflix's responses to criticism that it includes transphobic jokes, according to a report.

Netflix didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. "Our leadership has shown us they do not uphold the values to which we are held," an internal organizing message for the group said, as reported by The Verge. "Between the numerous emails and non-answers that have been given, we have been told explicitly that we somehow cannot understand the nuance of certain content."

So they are fine with all of the porn in their programming and child exploitation (Cuties) - but they are going to walk out because Chapelle says only women give birth.

They should be fired for their racist beliefs and actions.

How many employees at Netlix have had sex-change operations?

What kind of weirdo operation is it?

If Netflix’s content is any indicator, that could be 80% of the company.

Everytime I find a series I think I like they’ve gayed it in the first couple of episodes.

And when they don’t ruin it up front, they ruin season 2.

Who’d a thunk it? Dave Chappelle has turned into a genuine symbol of freedom. I can only hope that he doesn’t back down.

The reaction to the special is better than the actual special.

I don’t think he will. He has been a “no prisoners” type of comic since his TV show.

The Left will now attempt to destroy him. Doesn’t matter that he’s black, doesn’t matter that he’s a registered Democrat.... the point is that you HAVE to tow the line. We made you and we can destroy you... your choice.
