Ricky Gervais is firing back at critics that called him out for "transphobic" jokes made on Twitter.

The comedian began taking heat online after leaving a comment on a parody story written after author J.K. Rowling offered public support to a researcher claiming biological sex cannot be changed.

Gervais commented, saying: "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."

XX = Female.

XY = Male

Learn it then live it. (If you must, play whatever you want in your closet, but keep it there)

(Has anyone seen the gay/transgender/AIDS prevention medicine commercial that’s played on every channel I watch of late. Filthy and disgusting)

Now more than ever, I have a real appreciation for comedians willing to throw PC out the window if it’s funny.

More than anyone else, comedians should oppose political correctness. You can’t really be funny if your primary focus is on being careful about ruffling feathers.

I find it sad that so many comedians seem to give up. They stick with jokes like, “Republicans are stupid”, or “President Trump is stupid”, or “Christians are stupid”. If they step beyond these safe jokes, they risk offending someone.

I say Super Bowl time is the best time to bring this crap out in the open-bring it all to a head. A lot of black athletes can blurt it out during black history month. They do it best. Let POTUS jump right in.

Liberals In a couple of decades, if left alone to their life styles, will have destroyed themselves via their abortions, drug useage, homo sexual life styles, both DNA wise and soul wise due to their stupid and terminal life choices.

Here we have another: Darwin Award Winner!

True, he has been part of the problem. However, if this is the line in the sand that he finally decides is too far and he can’t follow the progressives past it, then maybe there is hope for him. Sometimes you only have to disillusion a leftie on one key point of the agenda and once they reject that, their belief in the rest can begin to collapse as well. It’s like any cult belief system. Once you reject Galactic Overlord Xenu throwing frozen bodies into volcanos and blowing them up with hydrogen bombs, how long before you start thinking the rest of Scientology might be wrong too?

It’s a pretty well known fact that most gays and lesbians hate the transgender crowd despite the outward appearances.

It’s the envious, selfish, never satified control freak fascistic social engineering that resides in every heart of a lefty.
Even if it ain’t broke fix it! Especially if you are spending someone else’s money!

I was rather shocked when I read several pieces, but it is absolutely true. No love for the trans from them.
