In a Twitter thread, Field listed the names of transgender and gender-nonconforming people who have been killed this year, citing an article from the Human Rights Campaign.

Netflix said Field was not suspended for her tweets about Chappelle.

“It is absolutely untrue to say that we have suspended any employees for tweeting about this show,” a company spokesperson said. “Our employees are encouraged to disagree openly, and we support their right to do so.”
