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.
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
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.

or is this a way toake fun of him?.. idunno…
EDIT: i looooove the detail to put his walkin stick onto the bed-- thats soooo house– wowie.

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 haven’t rewatched in awhile, is he actually transphobic?
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.

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