Ricky Gervais defending biology... Who knew!

submitted by vitunrotta from self.GenderCritical

In his recent Instagram post he says:

"If you want to deny something, don't choose stuff like Holocaust, Evolution, The Shape of Planets, or Biology. All the evidence will make you look stupid."

A subtle opinion perhaps... But a very, very clear one. I hope he would host e.g. Abigail Shrier in his podcast or something. That would be great.

Pretty sure he's a secret radfem himself. He follows a lot of GC people and he's tweeted snarky stuff before. When some TRA was angrily tweeted at J.K. for the Maya Forrester thing, he tweeted back,

"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."

That deserved a follow.

He definitely is and it's depressing to see that unlike JKR, TRA are too cowardly to try to cancel him, yet another exemple of misogyny at play.

Oh, TRA's and their allies never come for the men. The moment they start, they're immediately put in their place and dismissed. Biological men are their kryptonite. It is sad how they get away with harassing women. Transwomen suck up to men (especially straight men) because they want their approval no matter how much they whine about how evil "cis " men are towards them.

There’s something inherently incel about that comment. I wonder if incels are parading as trans women. Not to mention that a lot of incels will defend trans women and try not to attack other men

It's not a secret at all. My recollection is he commented on it during the Golden Globes, and stood up for JKR at the beginning of the whole debacle. He's made other statements and tweets before that IIRC.

TRAs are cowards, and see him as a harder target thank JKR. Gee, wonder why.

Ricky makes no bones about his disdain for genderwoowoo.

Hey, I wonder if it's because Kellie Jay Keen specifically called him by name in a video. Over a month old by now but it's a good watch.

The difference in the response to him vs. the vitriol aimed at JKR is jarring. Can't imagine why that is though!

Ricky Gervais is a coward who spouted TWAW at the slightest pressure during the JY drama. I appreciate him clearing the very low bar of pointing out the absurdity of JY's story, but that is a VERY low bar.

Yeah basically. He did a Stephen King.

Can either of you reply...?

Please elaborate? Was this some Twitterati shit? I'm not on that platform and I don't know what he said (about Yaniv, I am guessing - also please let's use the actual names if we speak of people, not everyone knows who you refer to by just initials)? So kindly provide details, I don't have the receipts on this one. Guys generally don't give two shits about TRA so I wouldn't be MEGA surprised about Gervais but I would be surprised nevertheless. Thanks in advance!

Edit: grammar
