    Weirdly, one show that didn’t make fun of the trans person in that one episode was The IT Crowd, even through the creator is a bigoted fucktard in real life.

      You may be misremembering. That episode ended up with the trans woman being assaulted, and had a whole run of situational jokes about how she liked typically manly pursuits.

      It got so many complaints the episode was pulled, which was the trigger that let him go mask off with his transphobia.

        I will say for that scene, at least she won and beat the ever loving piss out of him. Not exactly a silver lining but I did always appreciate the trans woman beating up the transphobe
