I haven't heard of Dave Chapelle sketch in a long time, but hateful is likely the wrong adjective and a bit hyperbolic. If he does indeed make transphobic comments as part of his recent stand-up routine, than at worst he's being highly insensitive - but I doubt it stems from an ideological position rooted in hatred.

Chapelle has openly and explicitly expressed transphobic views both as part of his stand-up routine and in interviews.

And that's okay. Having different prospectives promotes diversity.

I doubt you really know what transphobia even is
