Maybe he shouldn’t have agreed to take the picture but he didn’t write the caption. They’re clearly using him for a political stunt.

Are they though? He’s been pretty openly transphobic.

I think Dave Chapelle would not consider himself transphobic and as far as I know has never opposed transgender rights.

His could be considered offensive when it comes to transgender people but they aren’t an attack any more than his other jokes were an attack on other groups.

His reaction to the pushback feels like more of an ego thing than making any kind of stand on the topic.

He literally called himself a TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) in one of his standups. It literally means he doesn’t think that Trans people should have equal rights as everyone else.
