Comedian Dave Chappelle stood by his Netflix special, The Closer, which has been criticized for its transphobic material , saying in a new video: I said what I said.

In a video posted online Monday by Chappelle, the comedian performs new standup material, first refuting claims that he wouldnt meet with transgender Netflix employees following their pushback on the companys support of the controversial special .

If they had invited me, I would have accepted, Chappelle says of the trans employees at Netflix. Although I am confused about what we would be speaking about. I said what I said, and, boy, I heard what you said.

You said you want a safe working environment at Netflix. Well, it seems like Im the only one who cant go to the office anymore, he added to cheers from a packed audience.

Its worth noting that Netflix fired B. Pagels-Minor , an employee who was one of the leaders of the Trans* employee resource group at the company and helped organize a walkout last week. Netflix claimed it was because Pagels-Minor had leaked confidential information.

Netflix also suspended and then reinstated a trans employee who spoke out against Chappelles special.
