'I am not bending to anybody’s demands.'

"It’s been said in the press that I was invited to speak to the transgender employees of Netflix and I refused. That is not true — if they had invited me I would have accepted it, although I am confused about what we would be speaking about,” Dave said.He continued,"I said what I said, and boy, I heard what you said. My God, how could I not? You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix. It seems like I’m the only one that can’t go to the office anymore.

He later added that he does not truly believe that the issue is between himself and the transgender community, and it is more about"corporate interests."“Even though the media frames it that it’s me versus that community, that is not what it is. Do not blame the LBGTQ [sic] community for any of this shit. This has nothing to do with them. It’s about corporate interests and what I can say and what I cannot say,” Dave said.

Who is making demands on him? Netflix supports him. He's not a hostage. Or a victim.

Why bring Hannah Gadsby in this? I loved her! Her art history comedy is my jam.

'Demands' are the reason people like Dave are called 'Dave' or 'Mr. Chapelle' rather 'boy' or something even worse.

and tou better not

Dave Chappelle Ready to Meet With Transgender Community Under Certain Conditions: “I Am Not Bending to Anyone’s Demands”'You cannot come if you have not watched my special from beginning to end,' the comedian says directly to the transgender community in a new video posted Monday to Instagram. Nobody should bend the knee over jokes that are just that Considering their only 'demand' is to be treated with basic human dignity this makes Chappelle sound like a total asshole. Regardless, I doubt the trans community is in any hurry to meet with someone who openly declared themselves to be a 'TERF'. you really gotta be a certain type of asshole to refuse to call someone by their name because to you its a demand. Transphobes really show the irrationality in 'phobia'
