Graham Linehan, a comedy writer and director behind such shows as Father Ted, The IT Crowd and Black Books, discusses his foray into gender critical activism and why this subject punishes women particularly through a movement which is populated with men who proselytise for the sex industry. Noting the links between the economy of pornography and the transgender movement, Linehan takes aim at what he calls “capitalism’s greatest joke” criticising the leftists who drive the transgender identity narrative while they do the bidding for corporations and neoliberalism. Using the metaphor of “Jenny’s boyfriend” from Forest Gump to analyse men on the left, Linehan contends that Jenny’s boyfriends populate the left today—especially in the online word—where they communicate and coordinate with each other to silence and punish.
