Ricky Gervais Says That His Tweets Supporting the Idea of Biological Sex Were Jokes

Harry Potter author JK Rowling recently ended her career by saying that biological sex exists.

Now, British comedian Ricky Gervais has done the same.

Variety:

Ricky Gervais has posted a series of seemingly transphobic tweets prompted by J.K. Rowling’s support of Maya Forstater, a researcher who was fired for tweeting that a person cannot change their biological sex. In later tweets, Gervais implied the tweets were meant as jokes.

In the first tweet, Gervais, who has been tapped to host the Golden Globes, responded to a tweet from the satire account @JarvisDupont that linked to an article in Spectator USA, a news website from British conservative weekly mag The Spectator, once edited by current PM Boris Johnson. The article was mockingly written as though from the perspective of a trans woman angry over Rowling’s comments.

“Those awful biological women can never understand what it must be like for you becoming a lovely lady so late in life,” Gervais wrote. “They take their girly privileges for granted. Winning at female sports and having their own toilets. Well, enough is enough.”

A follow-up tweet responding to a user that urged “kindness is magic,” read, “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.”

When a Twitter user called him out for the tweets, Gervais wrote that the user “hasn’t even realised I’m playing along with a spoof account.”

Again responding to the user, who asked that Gervais consider how transphobia can cause real harm, Gervais replied, “I do. I also make jokes about AIDS, Cancer, Famine, and The Holocaust. Those things do a bit of harm too. But jokes don’t. Have a nice day.”

Another Twitter user asked Gervais to clarify his stance, and said, “if it was a joke it fell flat.” Gervais wrote, “That’s why it was free.”

In another thread, Gervais told a user to report him if he’d said anything transphobic. “My account will be closed down and you’ll be proved right and will have saved millions of lives. Why aren’t you doing this?”

Gervais’ selection as Golden Globes host prompted some raised eyebrows when it was announced considering his history of controversial joke material, particularly jokes at the expense of trans individuals. During his 2016 hosting of the Globes, he deadnamed Olympic Gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner from the Golden Globes stage. His 2018 special “Humanity” also included several jokes about Jenner.

I assume they’ll cancel his Golden Globes hosting gig over this.

People need to understand that this is where we are at: you are not allowed to say that men cannot magically transform into biological women.

Women in particular need to learn to deal with the fact that they are now going to lose at sports, forever, and if they complain, they will be attacked and silenced and fired.

They also need to get used to the new bathroom situation, and realize they can never, ever say anything about it, ever.
