For the second time within a year, Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) has generated controversy with a comedy special poking fun at the transgender community — and this time, the center of agitation is British funnyman Ricky Gervais.
What Happened: According to a Variety report, Gervais’ Netflix comedy special “SuperNature” debuted today and veered into the subject of transgender women within four minutes of the opening credits. After referring to biological women as the “old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs — those f**king dinosaurs,” Gervais then fired up his comic ire against trans women.
