Cultural historian Tony Moore, author of The Barry McKenzie Movies, writes of Humphries’ personal politics thus: “A conservative contrarian while many in his generation were moving left, Humphries nevertheless retained a bohemian delight in transgression that makes him a radical”.[63]
In 2018, Humphries was criticised on social media for making comments considered by some to be transphobic.[64] The comments included referring to gender affirmation surgery as “self-mutilation” and transgender identity as a whole as a “fashion—how many different kinds of lavatory can you have?” The comments prompted the Barry Award, a comedy festival award in Melbourne named after the comedian, to be renamed the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award the next year.[65]
