Appreciate that no-one here needs Ricky Gervais to tell them what to think but I thought some of you would appreciate this scene:

.

I think Gervais is not making a series about identity politics but about cutting through to what matters (that this is someone's father pratting around).

@Scraggythang Is the Pope Catholic?

I wonder if one of our regular thread contributors will come along and tell us that this is really good, actually, we’re just all nasty transphobes/pearl clutchers.

@VestofAbsurdity

Stephonknee gave advice, which was accepted and acted on, to the Canadian Government regarding trans issues. Make of that what you will.
Do they often take advice from six year olds?

So, Steff O Knee (wow, that's quite a monicker) remains six? Even after all these years?

Hasn't aged? This person is producing the elixir of eternal youth?

If you ever wanted proof men use this movement to live their fetishises in public and be applauded for it, there it is.

I can’t get my head around how anyone would see it as anything but gross.

They did! I forgot that.

For nostalgic reasons. One of the many moments in this shit show I went “WTAF”.

I wonder what the then small kids now think (this was about 8 years ago). Would a stroppy teen really want to introduce them a ‘my six (I assume they haven’t aged) year old little sister’ to their boyfriend/girlfriend/friend/teacher?

Great scene Grin

Looking forward to the new series on Friday Smile

That's brilliant. He's clearly read about Stephonknee or whatever the name is, and he has skewered the key points very concisely there. I love the actress playing the wife, she does a fantastic job.

Have a look at the trendy bar toilet scene in the new series Toast of Tinseltown too: it's a urinal in full view in the middle of the bar! It's co-written by the other writer from Father Ted.
