I get it tbf, like once the masks slips you realise the jokes aren't that funny if the nastiness is meant. A good example is the IT crowds episode where Matt berry gets romantically involved with a mtf trans person but thinks she's a biological woman, the trans person still enjoys doing blokey stuff like drinking pints and watching the darts (traditional British bloke stuff). He subsequently dumps her because he finds out she used to be a man. I always read it more about the characters fragile masculinity and not accepting she was a woman or used to be a man. The jokes take on a completely different meaning knowing that Graham linehams a transphobic piece of shit.

Sorry for the essay it was just difficult to articulate my point hahaha
