This isn’t the first time Gervais has mocked trans people in his comedy. He also mentions Louis CK and Liam Neeson, though fails to mention all three of these so-called “canceled” celebrities still have lucrative careers. He continues by portraying a made-up argument, stating, “‘Oh, they want to use our toilets.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’ ‘For ladies!’ ‘They are ladies — look at their pronouns! The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs.

Like, the worst thing you can say today, get you canceled on Twitter, death threats, the worst thing you can say today is, ‘Women don’t have penises,’ right? “You can’t predict what will be offensive in the future,” Gervais said.

A third added: 'Ricky Gervais is a disgrace, he is going to cause hate crime and ultimately the death of Trans folk. Clearly, Jimmy Carr's was the former.' 'Being offensive is comedic currency, and the world has all but lost that perspective. 'I saw the bit and though the jokes were fine. I'll have to hurry and watch the whole show now in case it gets removed.' 'And now the old-fashioned ones say "oh, they want to use our toilets". Why shouldn’t they use your toilets? Talking to the audience about cancel culture and the transgender issues during an opening monologue, Gervais tells the audience: 'Ah women. Not all women, I mean the old-fashioned women, you know the ones with wombs? The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. 'I love the new women. Clearly, Jimmy Carr's was the former.'

Ricky Gervais is taking a lot of heat over his Netflix comedy special where he takes aim at the trans community.

“5 minutes in and he’s making jokes about trans women attacking & raping people in public bathrooms. Ricky Gervais could go after the governments, banks, billionaires. At the end of the special, Gervais issued a disclaimer that his jokes aimed at the trans community were solely for shock value: “Full disclosure: In real life of course I support trans rights,” Gervais explained. To him we exist only as a punchline, a threat, something less than human.” In an interview with Stephen Colbert on Late Night last week to promote the special, Gervais defended his decision to joke about “taboo” subjects, saying he wants to take “smart” audiences to a place they haven’t been before. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs.

"... Meet me halfway, ladies. Lose the cock. That's all I'm saying," the British funnyman says in his latest Netflix stand-up show seemingly calculated to ...

While every title is different, we approach them based on the same set of principles: we support the artistic expression of the creators we choose to work with; we program for a diversity of audiences and tastes; and we let viewers decide what’s appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices.” I even explain what ‘irony’ is at the beginning of the show, and everyone there, I don’t know how many people I played to – half a million people – no complaints. “Entertaining the world is an amazing opportunity and also a challenge because viewers have very different tastes and points of view. Chappelle has since gone on to headline the recent Netflix Is a Joke comedy special, where he was attacked onstage by a fan while working out new material. His fans now seem to consist of right wing twats who think cruelty is funny simply by virtue of it being cruel and ‘triggering the libs’.” To help members make informed choices about what to watch, we offer ratings, content warnings and easy to use parental controls.” Gervais’ riff on woke culture and being canceled then cited Liam Neeson facing fallout from the Irish actor’s confession that he once considered a racist “revenge” attack. In his stand-up special Ricky Gervais: SuperNature, which debuted on Tuesday, Gervais cited today’s “woke, progressive times” as he discussed fellow comics and what is considered funny. Shedding his shock humor for a moment, he admitted, “In real life, of course, I support trans rights. You know, like, the worst thing you can say today — that get you canceled on Twitter, death threats — the worst thing you can say today is, ‘Women don’t have penises,’ right? I support all human rights, and trans rights are human rights. The ones with beards and cocks.

Seven months after dozens of Netflix staffers walked out of work to protest a Dave Chappelle comedy special critics called transphobic, the streaming ...

After his alleged assailant was removed, Chappelle purportedly joked that his attacker “was a trans man.” In SuperNature, Gervais jokes about trans women minutes into the special, saying “I love the new women… “The woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable,” Elon Musk tweeted last month.

On the heels of Dave Chappelle's controversial Netflix show, Ricky Gervais' "SuperNature" is drawing criticism for his words on the LGBTQ community.

"Here’s my thing about the anti-trans 'humor' from Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle and the rest: it’s not funny. "I wanted him to know that next time, he should consider first running his material by people it could affect." To him we exist only as a punchline, a threat, something less than human," one person tweeted. At the end of his hour-long special, Gervais told the audience, "Full disclosure: In real life of course I support trans rights. "Ricky Gervais has a new stand up show out on Netflix today. While Netflix is home to some groundbreaking LGBTQ shows, it refuses to enforce its own policy in comedy." "You can’t predict what will be offensive in the future," he says. Meanwhile, there are PLENTY of funny LGBTQ comedians to support." "We're trying to make you laugh. Trying to make you have a good time." What if she rapes you, you (expletive) TERF?" the comedian says in a back-and-forth exchange. The one thing you should never joke about is the trans issue.

Comedian Ricky Gervais is being criticized for his new stand-up special, "SuperNature," in which he mocks transgender women and the debate around bathroom ...

"Not everyone will like -- or agree with -- everything on our service," reads a statement on the company's website. Be the gender that you feel that you are," he says. From there, he clarifies: "The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs."

Netflix has released another comedy special with transphobic material. In his new stand-up special “SuperNature,” which hit the streaming service Tuesday, ...

“If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.” Earlier this month, as if to prevent any repeat of the fallout following “The Closer,” Netflix added new language in its staff guidelines around company culture. “I support all human rights, and trans rights are human rights,” says Gervais. “Live your best life. He jokes about getting “canceled” for transphobic tweets that reduce women to anatomy. In addition to public outcry over Chappelle’s remarks, Netflix employees staged a walkout in protest of the company’s decision to support the special. As such, he includes trans folks — particularly women — throughout “SuperNature.” Even before his bit involving anti-trans misconceptions around public restrooms, Gervais makes a punchline out of Eddie Izzard’s gender identity.

GLAAD has responded to Ricky Gervais' new Netflix special, calling it "dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes."

In October, Dave Chappelle’s special “The Closer” led to company walkouts and protests. Toward the end of the special, Gervais claims that he does support trans rights, but it leads to yet another punchline at the community’s expense: “Full disclosure: In real life, of course, I support trans rights. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. The statement continues, “Netflix has a policy that content ‘designed to incite hate or violence’ is not allowed on their platform, but we all know that anti-LGBTQ content does exactly that. “Attention Ricky and Netflix: people living with HIV today, when on effective treatment, lead long and healthy lives and cannot transmit HIV to others.” “We watched the Ricky Gervais ‘comedy’ special on Netflix so you don’t have to.

In his recent tweet, Piers Morgan slammed Nish Kumar over his comment made about comedian Ricky Gervais. The clip is of his 2018 stand-up.

As of now, Nish has not responded to his tweet. One of them happened to be Nish, who did not hold back to bring forward his viewpoints. Morgan and Ricky have been on good terms for a long time.

LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD says the new show violates the streaming giant's policy against content designed to incite hate or violence.

His trans mockery comes early in the SuperNature special, in which he also targets Asians and the Holocaust, among others. Last year, Chappelle and Netflix created a furore when his stand-up special, The Closer, was accused of anti-trans humour by gay rights groups and some Netflix employees. I’ll pretend to be right wing, I’ll pretend to be left-wing ... Full disclosure: of course I support trans rights. “It’s full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes,” along with anti-gay rhetoric and inaccurate statements on HIV. But transgender and LGBTQ defenders fired back, with GLAAD asserting that the special violates a Netflix policy against content designed to incite hate or violence. He then imagines a conversation with such a woman who objects to sharing a restroom with a trans woman.
