Ricky Gervais, 60 has just dropped the new show ‘SuperNature’ standup special on Netflix.

The actor/comedian is already getting a lot of heat over his graphic jokes mocking the trans community following the release of his new show.

The one-hour show featured jokes that have been widely condemned as transphobic, homophobic, and overall LGBTQ community. Within minutes after the show started, Gervais aimed at trans women,

“The old-fashioned women – oh, God. You know, the ones with wombs? Those f—ing dinosaurs. I love the new women. They’re great. The new ones we’ve been seeing lately – the ones with beards and c***s,”

He then continued his lines by saying,

“They’re as good as gold, I love ’em. No, it’s the old-fashioned ones, they go, ‘Oh, they want to use our toilets.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’ ‘For ladies!’ ‘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 w***e!”

Gervais claimed that his jokes aimed at the trans community were solely for shock value. At the end of the special, he later goes on to state he’s a trans rights supporter, saying,

“In real life, of course, I support trans rights. I support all human rights, and trans rights are human rights. You know, live your best life. Use your preferred pronouns. Be the gender that you feel you are.”
