Surely real feminism also covers a woman’s right not to have to wax someone’s knob & bollocks if they don’t want to.

Ricky Gervais is a transphobe who (barely) disguises his bigotry as feminism. Real feminism includes all women, including trans women.

Transgender people are inherently sexist by definition. They identify as a specific gender based on their stereotypical ideas of what that gender is supposed to be.

Absolutely. But derogatory jokes about a woman’s “big hairy balls” are transphobic and harmful. Retweeting from a blatantly transphobic parody account is harmful. Comparing transitioning to identifying as a chimp is transphobic and tired. Using someone’s deadname is transphobic.

👏👏👏Thanks Ricky. You’d think so wouldn’t you but this seems to be what passes as progressive these days. Forcing women of colour to touch someone’s penis against their will is super enlightened.

So many opinions to be offended by, I don’t know which I should choose.

That’s what I don’t understand about everyone today, sure this guy has the right to say he’s a lady, even tho he has guy parts, but I agree, no one should be required to do something to/for the person they do not want to do

He’s right to stand up for women’s safety. And men should do more than just stand by also as Women are being raped in prison by men who want to “self-identify” as women. And in changing rooms, restrooms, own homes. Physical safety is important.
