The narrative that Dorman was “ hounded to death ” by trans people relies exclusively on Chappelle’s word. Maybe you want to argue that Dorman would have faced criticism if more people knew about her support of Chappelle, but the most plausible read of the evidence is that the internet simply didn’t notice. She barely used Twitter and most of her posts have likes and retweets in the single digits. You could argue that Dorman supporting Chappelle was a smaller hubbub and left fewer traces, but none ? Not a single mean reply or salty Reddit post?ĭorman, as far as I can tell, had roughly 600 Twitter followers at the time she defended Chappelle. Redditers discussed it, small-fry news sites wrote it up, YouTubers discoursed about it. A simple Twitter search reveals thousands of posts and a half-dozen hashtags. But look how much residue this brief, minor, forgotten controversy deposited onto the internet. Lefties found it and called it cultural appropriation righties called the controversy SJW-ness gone mad, we all know how these things play out. Really? Trans activists were “dragging her for days” but left no public evidence of this whatsoever?Īs a comparison, consider the case of “Prom Dress girl.” In 2018, a white teenager posted a picture of herself wearing a Chinese-inspired dress to a school formal. But six days after that wonderful night I described to you my friend Daphne killed herself.” For days, they was going in on her, and she was holding her own ’cause she’s funny. “It took a lot of heart to defend me like that, and when she did that the trans community dragged that bitch all over Twitter. We don’t know what being online looked or felt like to Dorman during those six weeks.īut listen again to how Chappelle describes this period: Maybe some abusive tweets have been deleted. Maybe she felt attacked by these conversations. Other Twitter sleuths have found her debating the content of his special and whether their friendship meant that he accepted her. None of this means Dorman wasn’t criticized for her association with Chappelle. I find it difficult to believe that a trans woman was bullied by other trans people for supporting Dave Chappelle - basically the Platonic ideal of an alt-right clickbait story - and it didn’t show up in Breitbart, Spiked or the Daily Mail. Right-wing websites will publish anything that makes trans activists look unreasonable. I also couldn’t find any news stories from 2019 describing a campaign of harassment against Dorman. Her suicide note doesn’t mention bullying nor do any of the obituaries written after her suicide. She doesn’t appear to have said anything on Twitter or Facebook about receiving abuse. Comments on her Facebook post announcing that she was opening for Chappelle are uniformly positive so are the ones on Reddit after she posted about it there. The Instagram post in which she declared her friendship with Chappelle doesn’t have any critical replies. To all who knew her, I’m so, so sorry for your loss.It’s like this across the internet. I was mad at a lot of things when I heard this but after thinking about it, his friendship probably gave her more to live for these past few months. I love you Rest in Peace funny girl.ĭave Chappelle’s trans friend committed suicide today apparently. My heart goes out to her family, her daughter, and of all those lucky SOBs that she was gracious enough to call her friends.

Please help my daughter, Naia, understand that none of this is her fault. To those of you feel like I failed you: I did and I’m sorry and I hope you’ll remember me in better times and better light. To those of you who wonder if you failed me: you didn’t. To those of you who are mad at me: please forgive me. That’s what I got out of all that thought. How do you say “goodbye” and “I’m sorry” and “I love you” to all the beautiful souls you know? For the last time. I’ve thought about this a lot before this morning.
