I totally do, that’s why I don’t tell children who don’t conform to them that they were born in the wrong body. The IT Crowd is a comedy not a how-to guide. The episode was taking the piss out of sex stereotypes and transphobia, I’m ok with that.

Making a joke with a message of, "Obviously if someone likes sports, they are really a man, no woman would like sports," is misogyny. It's just that simple.

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.

Explain how the transphobe is the butt of the joke. Explain how the man who beat the woman up because "It’s not you, it’s me. No actually, it’s not me, it is you" is the butt of the joke.

Hi Debbie, your article is a fucking joke and obviously written out of cowardice You spend one short paragraph actually saying what the episode is about and then the rest of the article on a generic "freedom of speech" defense, which is the last refuge of scoundrels

Like this is so mealy-mouthed the meal dribbles down your chin WHAT message of acceptance of oneself and others? Are you trying to argue the episode actually thinks Douglas is in the wrong for rejecting April? Because that's an absurd claimpic.twitter.com/cIbcrcH3F6

Seems like the article isn't very accepting of "the modern-day transgender lobby".

The "message of acceptance" is that the trans woman needs to accept that she's a man. So bigotry couched in toxically positive self-acceptance language.
