I wonder if the ‘transition’ facilitators warn potential ‘transitioners’ upfront that it requires that they sacrifice their sense of humor. Probably not. :P
What they say and what they (say they) believe are irrelevant. What matters is whether people laugh. If people laugh, then that means seeing Genderism as laughable, even if only for the span of a joke, and so for the span of that joke, whatever words are used are not what Genderists believe and merely transphobic distortions made by transphobes.
latsot, I don’t like Bill Maher either. And I don’t like Ricky Gervais. I expect these are two fellows who were broadly disliked, previous to saying anything about the gender cult. This is probably because they weren’t terribly afraid of being disliked. Maher, in particular, seems to offend just about everybody. A comedian who is afraid of being disliked wouldn’t be able to stand up to the TRA mob at this point. These fellows saw that Dave Chappelle came out of it ahead, and followed in his footsteps. I expect that many, many more feel the same way, but don’t think they’d get away with saying it.
Ricky Gervais is definitely a comedian who likes to piss off everybody. He even says, in that very routine, something to the effect that he does think of ‘trans’ people the same way he thinks of everyone else. and that’s why he makes jokes about them.
It is possible that Gervais was following in Chappelle’s footsteps in creating this special, but he’s made comments that piss off the genderists for quite some time already.
The second season of ‘After Life’ included a bit about a middle-aged man demanding to be recognized as an eight-year old girl. Somehow the trans-police failed to notice the thought-crime of mocking idennity.
I’m not a big fan of RG either, but I had the chance to see his show in it’s entirety, and there are some good funny bits. But like Nullius said @1, the trans stuff pretty much writes itself. I did like the show more than I thought I would. As far as I’m concerned, the more people who understand the absolute absurdity of the trans ‘movement’, the better.
That’s telling. He didn’t even have to write a bit, just accurately represent the “conversation”, because we’ve been living in clown world.
Isn’t it.

twiliter, it’s possible they had no sense of humor to sacrifice. Which is why they can’t see how ridiculous it is to talk about a girl dick.
So repeating their own words to a wider audience is ‘cracking cheap jokes’ at their expense?
It seems that there is nothing anyone can say which isn’t transphobic if they say so.
So what they’re saying is I need to download his new special before my trip.
I couldn’t help but think while I was laughing that it really is pretty horrible what Gervais is going on about.
It’s really annoying. I hated Gervais for years before everyone else did and now I’m going to have to like him again :(
Actually, from what I’m told, he’s grown a lot since we had a little falling out a few years ago. I’ll definitely give it a watch.
This keeps happening, though. I never liked Bill Maher either.

A bit of insight from John Cleese about offensive comedy, and he should know.
