      It’s an over the top representation of a fight in the style of action movies - do you think joke representations of fights are unique to this episode? Or do you oppose to any depiction of violence at all?

      I oppose the depiction of a man beating up a woman as some kind of triumphant defense of his masculinity

      Again: I’m not sure you got the joke. Let me help you here: the butt of the joke is the transphobe. It’s an anti-transphobic episode, not an anti-trans episode.

      The show may be making fun of Douglas but it's also obviously making fun of April, and April gets the worse end of it The joke is that Douglas has blown his chance at happiness, sure, but the show also treats the fact that he was happy with April with mocking disdain

      Douglas is, in the eyes of the show's POV, a pathetic boor who doesn't really appreciate the feminine virtues (which are represented by Jen, who despite her flaws manages to keep the IT department going with her common sense and emotional intelligence)

      April doesn't have any of Jen's positive traits She embodies the idea that trans women are a "man's caricature of womanhood" - she dresses way too sluttily and is willing to put out on the first date, and otherwise has Doug's same boorish, classless tastes

      The show clearly treats this with a mocking air, it's pathetic that Douglas doesn't catch on and that this is all he wants from a relationship All they do is "get shitfaced and shag", they never have a serious conversation, the one time she tries he's barely paying attention

      And it may treat April's dilemma as tragic but it ultimately treats her as tragically deluded and wanting the impossible When she starts screaming at Douglas "I'm a woman! What you see in front of you is a woman!" it's treating her as irrational, hysterical

      It PROVES that she's hysterical by having her throw the first punch That's the whole punchline of that scene - that's the basic joke, for anyone who understands comedic timing She protests her womanhood then immediately surrenders it by throwing a punch like a man

      As is the exultant orgy of violence after Douglas wipes the blood from his mouth and goes "You bastard" The internal conflict is gone, he feels no further guilt or remorse, now she's proven she's a man and he can take joy in having a good old man-to-man fight

      The whole humor of this scene, the comic release, is giving the viewer permission to dismiss April's pain after raising the discomfort of it It's okay, she threw the first punch, and it was a good hard one That proves she was always a big strong man all along

          This is classic, fundamental transmisogyny This is THE MINDSET undergirding violence against trans women - the attitude that they're delusional, perverted and most of all they're really men and therefore not vulnerable the way cis women are, fair game for violence

          It is not an original joke, this whole genre and basic format of joke is an ancient tradition of British "cross-dressing" humor People didn't complain back then because transmisogyny is the air we breathe in our society and trans women's voices routinely silenced
