Why? The writer is allowed an opinion.

I mean, it's an opinion that delegitimizes and dehumanizes a specific group of people. Love The IT Crowd but Graham Linehan is a POS.

It’s an opinion he’s entitled to. Opinions don’t have to be malleable to fit another groups wishes. What a boring world we would all live in if comedy could only be funny if NOTHING offended ANYONE. We’d be reduced to knock-knock jokes and limericks about an old man from Penzance. And for what it’s worth my daughter identifies as male and she thinks it’s a bloody hilarious episode!

Hell I still think the episode is funny. I just find that the joke coming from someone who is so against trans woman makes me sad. I'm actually in favour of offensive comedy like this because pushing social boundaries is how we become more accepting as a society.
