Ricky Gervais posted a series of tweets that have come under fire from the trans community: 'We need to protect the rights of women. Not erode them because some men have found a new cunning way to dominate and demonize an entire sex.'
a lengthy post on Medium about losing her job after speaking up about the negative impact of gender identity rights — Ricky Gervais posted a series of tweets that have come under fire from the trans community.
Early on Saturday, the comic tweeted a reply to satire account Jarvis Dupont, which voiced concern from the perspective of a trans woman. "Those awful biological women can never understand what it must be like for you becoming a lovely lady so late in life," Gervais. "They take their girly privileges for granted. Winning at female sports and having their own toilets. Well, enough is enough.
After being told "Kindness is magic. Try to remember that" by another Twitter user, Gervais again fired off a: "Exactly. We need to protect the rights of women. Not erode them because some men have found a new cunning way to dominate and demonize an entire sex." The tweet received numerous responses from those expressing concern for Gervais.
The comedian continued to reply to Twitter users throughout the morning, including asking people to report him if he's said anything "transphobic." Those awful biological women can never understand what it must be like for you becoming a lovely lady so late in life. They take their girly privileges for granted. Winning at female sports and having their own toilets. Well, enough is enough.Exactly. We need to protect the rights of women. Not erode them because some men have found a new cunning way to dominate and demonise an entire sex.
