Terra Field, transgender Netflix engineer who protested Dave Chappelle's The Closer, resigns from her job

Deadline

Field made headlines last month when she wrote a Twitter thread, saying "we launched another Chappelle special where he attacks the trans community, and the very validity of transness - all while trying to pit us against other marginalized groups." Field was later briefly suspended and reinstated after Netflix accused her and several colleagues of crashing a high-level meeting. “This isn’t how I thought things would end, but I am relieved to have closure,” Field wrote in a statement on her blog. “When I was looking to change teams at Netflix, when I was trying to decide if I needed a break from my ERG leadership role, and when I was suspended from Netflix in October, there was one person whose advice I sought in all three cases: B. Pagels-Minor. Shortly after B. was fired for something I did not and do not believe they did, I made a decision: sink or swim, I was going to walk side by side with B. as they had for so many of us while they led the Trans* ERG. Last week, B. had their son. They are both happy and healthy, and for me that is the note that I’d like this chapter of my life to end on. I want to focus on the joy, not the heartache.”
