Ricky Gervais being called transphobic for controversial tweets ahead of hosting Golden Globes (via toofab)
He chose to barrel into the debate by responding to a parody account that was feigning outrage at Rowling's support of Fortater by lamenting, "as a trans woman, the thought that I will no longer be welcome in a fictional school for wizards has destroyed me."
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."Those awful biological women can never understand what it must be like for you becoming a lovely lady so late in life," he tweeted. "They take their girly privileges for granted.
But even still, his followers seemed determined to get to the root of the whole thing, demanding that he clarify once and for all if this is a joke or if they should be offended . The biggest question Gervais, and many other comedians are facing, is whether or not this is the right time for this kind of comedy, when transgender individuals and other marginalized groups are being targeted and attacked both individually and at large in politics and policy. Does there come a time when a joke is just not appropriate, or should any topic be fair game at any time?
