Well, boycotts work both ways of course, easy enough not to donate to Oxfam, other charities do exist.To be fair, gay folk getting a free biscuit is one of the pressing issues of the day.
Oxfam have removed a game called Wonder Women Bingo because it only features biological women. It doesn't include transwomen.
‘We took the decision to remove the game from sale following concerns raised by trans and non-binary colleagues who told us it didn’t live up to our commitment to respect people of all genders.’

This is the same Oxfam who were severely criticised by the Charity Commission for failing to address claims of bullying, nepotism, and child sexual abuse by their staff.
Women can't have anything just for themselves it seems. Not even a game of fecking bingo.
Today Chappelle has apparently said he's willing to discuss the issues with representatives of the trans community but only if they've watched the whole show, which seems fair enough.
I think this will all blow over as Chappelle's comments seem fairly mainstream to me, and he's too big to be cancelled. If anything, as BL said, the overwrought response has brought him more viewers and fans.
Funnily enough there were no staff walk outs or demos over Netflix's rather dodgy promotion of the French film, Cuties, the poster of which is best described as nonce-adjacent:
