Wild Graham Linehan making the world's most childish response on a video with 377 scientific references.

The video by Forrest valaki discusses a large series of scientific concepts around gender, sexuality and sex. It has an entire scientific research team credited in the description and 377 references but of course transphobes don't care and would rather look like a fool throwing play ground insults around. This whole video and interaction made my day. Transphobes can be a very funny bunch.
Took me a minute to remember who Graham Linehan was and confirm it - creator of The IT Crowd, which pains me every time I have to remember who he is.
It's a shame because Father Ted is one of the funniest shows ever made, and the IT crowd is amazing too.
He could've been a legend. But he's ruined his career and personal life with his pathological hatred for trans people. Now he's just a sad and pathetic keyboard warrior.
I recently started watching Motherland, a British sitcom about school drop off and arranging childcare. The logistical side of motherhood. I went on IMDb to check out one of the actresses. Then I noticed he was a writer. As was his wife.
I realised that it must have been pre crazy, as she divorced him when he went off the deep end of terfing. I was disappointed as I couldn't in good conscience support him. I then further realised I'd torrented it through sonarr, so I'm happily continuing to watch and glad he's no longer involved with the new spin off, amandaland. I got interested as Sharon Horgan was the main writer now, an I like her stuff. It's a dry look at societal expectations, but more self deprecating than the mean Spirit of Linehan.
However, father Ted, black books and IT crowd are genius, even if they have problems in hindsight.
