YouTube Description
as posted by the channelControversial comic Ricky Gervais is in hot water online yet again, this time over a series of perceived anti-trans jokes featured in his just-released Netflix special “SuperNature.” The British “Office” creator’s name was trending on Twitter Tuesday as the LGBTQ community urged viewers to boycott the special — with some folks vowing to cancel their Netflix subscriptions.
“I love the new women,” Gervais snarks in the special, which has only been on the streaming platform for several hours as of Tuesday morning. “They’re great, aren’t they? The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and c – – ks. They’re as good as gold, I love them.”
Then, referencing the highly-publicized trans bathroom controversy, the “Afterlife” star said, “And now the old-fashioned ones say, ‘Oh, they want to use our toilets.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’ ‘For ladies!’
