I have watched the entire show and i can confirm. He's shown multiple times to actually be completely unempathetic and self centered, even with his only friend. He makes racist, mysogynistic, homofobic, etc, comments just because he wants to piss people off. I don't remember him saying anything transfobic but that's just because he never encounters a trans person he can insult (except maybe one time where he discovers a girl is actually physiologically a man and is completely unempathetic to her learning this information, despite knowing full well how much she identifies with her beauty as a woman)
If you're wondering how the show is appealing, he's a very interesting character to observe. The audience is meant to empatize with everyone around him and sometimes with him. He has some redeemning qualities that people try to focus on and they tolerate him because he's a net good. In the end people leave the hospital happy and healthy. He's extremely pragmatic and calls other people out on their bullshit all the time. He often unearths social tensions people have which are hurting them. He will stand for his principles and against other evil people. He's constantly a pain, but he's not spiteful, does not hold any groudges. If someone fucks up he either throws them out on the spot or they are forgiven completely
Ah, thanks for clarifying. I didn't remember the exact condition. What i wanted to express with physiological was that it didn't present externally in any way. I actually had to look at the definition in the dictionary for the first time, i had that totally wrong
The show is very funny, and he's not evil, he's just a jerk. He's transphobic for the sake of being an asshole, but if you came to him with gender dysphoria he'd give you a script for HRT and a pamphlet on bottom surgery. He's insanely effective at his job, and wholly committed to curing his patients. He just hates talking to patients and prefers them when they're unconscious.
Some cisgender people are attracted to trans bodies in a way that would make those trans people uncomfortable. Like going "Wow, a chick with a dick! Can you fuck me in the ass with your monster girlcock?" to a lady who suffers intense genital dysphoria.
I haven't played Disco Elysium, but I think what's happening here is that Harry's loins are singing to him "you've gotta get that lady's number" while both Harry and the lady in question believe this lady is a cisgender man. This results in an extremely uncomfortable situation for everyone involved where Harry tries to put the moves on someone he does not believe he is attracted to.
No not really. People for what ever reason seem to not fucking understand basic human interactions, the concept of nuance or anything remotely close to the idea of character growth.
He's a jaded asshole to everyone literally fucking everyone. He only is nice to kids by default.
People for some stupid fucking reason take any negative anything towards anything LGBT people in shows as the character being a transphobe or homophobe.
Because for some reason you can't just write about a dude in pain, self medicating being an asshole to idiots. With out it having an agenda. He's just an asshole to fucking morons who lie to their doctor.
That's the entire point. Everyone on the show is stupid enough to lie to their doctor he's an asshole he then catches them in an aha! Moment and the ep ends.
Yeah folks seem to forget that he is also based off of Sherlock Holmes on his worst days. Holmes could be an asshole and has a pretty severe drug addiction as I understand it.
Also see Spartacus or John Brown, both were absolute bastards in their own rights but killing slavers and fucking with the powerful is always in vogue. Though I have nothing but respect for Auld John Brown.
This time, even though your post contains Reggie, I will not make a fool of myself and simp for the rat. Instead, I'll extend my best wishes to the patient and hope for a full and speedy recovery uwu

His entire character was being an asshole, so it's just down to whether people find that interesting or not

From what little I watched of the show, he's not evil, he's just an asshole about things. Classic anti-hero.

First off, there's no such thing as a physiological man. "Man" is a gender identity, and those are stored in the brain.
Second, she had an intersex condition. Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome IIRC.
Third, you're absolutely right that House is just an asshole. And it's often funny.

i guess "phenotypical" would be the expression in that case, but i've pretty much only heard it used in genetic contexts...

I haven't rewatched in awhile, is he actually transphobic?

Its much like robinhood as well. A lot of these classic anti heros, arnt good people. They are not ment to be role models.
Watching an asshole break societal norms, the law or just rebel. For a good cause, is cathartic.
Assholes doing good is fun and the over sterilization of media is such a fucking tragedy.
