Daphne Dorman, who Chappelle said was fine with his transgender jokes, was an actress, comedian, and software engineer.

Up-and-coming transgender performer Daphne Dorman died by suicide Friday, the Office of Transgender Initiatives for the City & County of San Francisco confirmed to the New York Daily News.

Dorman was known by some as the transgender person comedian Dave Chappelle tested his trans-based jokes on, claiming she was "laughing the hardest." Dorman confirmed Chappelle's description, though that didn't change the perception by many that Chappelle's recent Netflix special, Sticks and Stones, was offensively and lazily transphobic.

Originally from Philadelphia, Dorman moved to San Francisco, where she worked as not only a software engineer but a budding comedian and actress.

On Friday, Dorman left a "goodbye" message on Facebook. She leaves behind a daughter.
