LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST:

A joke about trans people on his first special in 13 years landed comedian Dave Chappelle in the sights of many liberals and activists.

During Chappelle’s newest standup The Age of Spin: Live at the Hollywood Palladium, the comedian cracked multiple jokes about transgender transitions and the term LGBTQ.

“Stuart educates me about this movement,” Chappelle began, referencing a gay acquaintance and the LGBTQ community. “He told me it’s called ‘LBGTQ.’ I was like ‘what the fuck is the q for?’ Does that even make sense? Q?”

“It turns out q is like the vowels. That shit is ‘sometimes y,’” Chappelle quipped. “It’s for gay dudes that don’t really know they’re gay. You know what I mean? Kind of like prison fags.”

Chapelle then launched into a segment where he joked about two friends cutting off their genitals, poking fun at the idea of people transitioning sexes. Chappelle envisions one friend suggesting to the other that they both cut off their penises.

“Are you sure that’s what you want to do?” Chappelle envisions one friend asking. “There’s only one way to find out: WU TANG!” Chappelle hollered, pantomiming cutting off his penis. Chappelle was a referencing a rapper from the Wu-Tang Clan who cut of his own penis before jumping out the window. Wu Tang clan denied any affiliation with the lunatic.

Chappelle’s jokes predictably triggered outrage, and tidal wave of accusations that he is transphobic.

A Buzzfeed article claimed that Chappelle’s comments were an attempt by a “cisgender man” to assure people that he is not gay.

“When straight cis men aren’t denigrating queer people to affirm their masculinity, they might be paying lip service to women’s rights only as a ruse to get some ass,” the article adds.
