Elliot Page has thrown his support behind Netflix employees who have staged a walkout in protest of the streaming giant's decision to keep Dave Chappelle's new special on the platform.
Earlier this month, Chappelle sparked controversy when he spoke about J.K. Rowling and her comments about the trans community during a Netflix standup special, The Closer.
The 48-year-old comedian defended JK Rowling after weighing in on the writer's comments about the transgender community.
Chappelle said he "agrees" that "gender is a fact", as he discussed how the Harry Potter author had been branded a "TERF" (Trans-exclusionary radical feminist).
His special sparked mass outrage on social media, with many viewers putting pressure on Netflix to remove The Closer from the streaming giant immediately.
Now, actor Page - who is the star of Netflix's very own Umbrella Academy - has spoken out in support of the protestors.
"I stand with the trans, nonbinary, and BIPOC employees at Netflix fighting for more and better trans stories and a more inclusive workplace," he wrote on Twitter.
Page came out as transgender earlier this year.
Dan Levy, the star of Schitt's Creek which streamed on Netflix, posted a tweet in support of the demonstrators.
He wrote: "I stand with every employee at Netflix using their voice to ensure a safe and supportive work environment.
"I've seen firsthand how vital television can be when it comes to influencing the cultural conversation. That impact is real and works both ways: positively AND negatively.
"Transphobia is unacceptable and harmful. That isn't a debate."
Meanwhile, Wanda Sykes tweeted: "Standing in solidarity with the Netflix employees speaking truth to power today and sending my full love and support."
Despite the influx of disapproving remarks over the special, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has refused to remove it from the platform.
Hundreds of Netflix employees and supporters took to the streets on Wednesday, October 20, as they gathered in the shadow of the streaming giant’s Los Angeles headquarters.
But the event, which was intended to showcase solidarity with the trans community, grew tense at certain points as protesters clashed with a vocal crowd of the comedian's fans.
The HQ building saw dozens of passionate trans supporters waving signs reading "Trans Lives Matter" and "Transphobia is Not a Joke".
