Ricky Gervais’ Netflix special SuperNature.Gervais has faced criticism over “transphobic” jokes in the special that was released on Tuesday (May 24), with LGBT rights organisation GLAAD describing the show as “full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes”.After the special was released, a clip from Kumar’s show It’s In Your Nature To Destroy Yourself Part 2 has been widely shared on social media, where he calls out Gervais for deciding to “shit on the latest minority group”.In the clip, Kumar asks: “Guys, why is everyone so angry with trans people?

What did they do? There’s like 12 of them, why is everyone so upset? Everyone’s like, do you say ‘he’ or ‘she’? I don’t know, ask.

It’s not an unsolvable conundrum.“Also in my experience, trans people aren’t deliberately mysterious when they do ask.”“Why can’t we do jokes about trans people?

What makes them so special?”You can. This is how you do jokes about trans people without being a down-punching cock. It’s not hard.Sound on, and pray to whatever god you believe in to bless Nish Kumar.pic.twitter.com/gOcJkvZxMl— Fancy Brenda.
