The cancel mob will be coming for Ricky Gervais in 3, 2, 1 …
The British comic mock the transgender movement in his new Netflix special, “Ricky Gervais: SuperNature,” and in his typical style, he pulls no punches. If Dave Chappelle could trigger the woke leftists with an innocuous joke about his attacker having a gun “that identified as a knife,” they will be apoplectic with Gervais.
“The worst thing you can say today is:’ Women don’t have penises’, right?” Gervais says. “Now, no one saw that coming … We didn’t think we f***ing had to.”
“Women, I mean, the old fashioned women,” Gervais says, before mimicking a colloquy between a hard-leftist and a confused person trying to keep up with the changing gender mores. “You know, the one with wombs.”
“Oh, those f***ing dinosaurs!”
Then, as himself: “No, I love the new women,” Gervais says. “They’re great, aren’t they? … The ones with beards and c***s.”

“And now the old fashioned women [say], “Oh, they want to use our toilets!” Gervais continues, pivoting back into a mock discussion between two people.
“Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?” Gervais says, channelling the transgenderism advocates.
“They’re ladies?” he asks.
“They are ladies! Look at their pronouns! What about this person isn’t a lady?”
“Well, his penis?”
“Her penis, you f***ing bigot!”
“What if he rapes me?”
“What if SHE rapes you, you f***ing TERF whore!”
Gervais joins Chappelle and Bill Maher as A-list comedians who in recent days have taken on the movement, although no one has gone as far as Gervais yet. On his HBO show “Real Time” last Friday, Maher questioned how the “gender fluidity” movement has exploded so quickly, and how it could be affecting children.
Citing a recent Gallup poll, Maher noted that less than 1% of Americans born before 1946 identified as LGBT. Now, according to the poll, 2.6% of Baby Boomers consider themselves LGBT; 4.2% of Gen Xers do; 10.5% of Millennials do, and 20.8% of Gen Zers do.
“Which means if we follow this trajectory, we will all be gay in 2054,” Maher said. “When things change this much, this fast, people are allowed to ask, ‘What’s up with that?’ All the babies are in the wrong bodies?”
Chappelle’s “The Closer” comedy special, which premiered last October on Netflix, triggered the streaming company’s LGBTQ employees, who were rebuffed when they demanded Chappelle be fired. In it, Chappelle said he aligned with “trans-exclusionary radical feminists” and poked fun at transgender ideology.
Netflix stood by Chappelle even after employees walked out, and the company recently sent out a memo telling employees to take a hike if they can’t take a joke.
“As employees we support the principle that Netflix offers a diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter to our own personal values,” the memo, first reported by Variety stated. “Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful… if you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.”
Gervais is not likely to care about the cancel crowd coming after him with torches and pitchforks. He has roasted hard-Left Hollywood to its face, and in 2016 he was criticized for taking shots at Caitlyn Jenner while hosting the Golden Globes
Still, in the special, Gervais says it’s all just a joke.
“OK, full disclosure, in real life, of course, I support trans rights,” Gervais says. “I support all human rights and trans rights are human rights. Live your best life. Use your preferred pronoun.”
