    His trajectory is a lot like that of JK Rowling and Dave Chappelle. Born comfortably off (but not super-wealthy), socially liberal by default without needing to think very hard at all about it, very successful because they are genuinely good at what they do, torpedoing themselves because they’re unable to deal with mild criticism over some lazy-minded transphobia.

    An episode of The IT Crowd from 2008 has been criticised over its transgender plot line.

    This is what kicked Linehan off. Instead of listening and learning, he buried himself in self-justification and ended up palling around with the far right.
