I doubt he'd go around punching/harassing transpeople (but correct me if I'm wrong, of course, I'm not dying on the Dave Chapelle hill, lol), he might just disagree with some of the current Western culture around it and understanding of it.
"It's not like he goes around assaulting trans people, he just disagrees with the current culture of letting trans people be who they are instead of masking and hiding themselves"
Yeah while I think Chapelle is entitled to free speech as a comedian and all that, his doubling- and tripling-down with the trans jokes are not only unfunny, they are embraced by bigots and embolden their subsequent hateful rhetoric and actions. If Chapelle actually cared one iota about trans people, he would just tell jokes about literally anything else. It's not like there's a shortage of topics to poke fun at.
He's a petulant, obstinate, man baby and deserving of all the backlash he has received. I honestly think he must be washed up and creatively tapped since he won't let the trans jokes go.
