Good. We need as many sane voices on this as possible. No reasonable person could look at that photo and seriously believe that they are looking at a woman

I think it takes someone like Gervais, who never needs to work again if it comes to it, to go there. Sad, but there we are.

Some idiots on there going for the 'clearly not a true trans person' line.

OK - tell us how we identify which ones are not 'true trans' in advance, please.

Brilliant. He gets it.

He retweeted the Pips Bunce story a few weeks back. Though he did delete it after a couple of hours.

'OK - tell us how we identify which ones are not 'true trans' in advance, please.'

I know. It's just brain melting stupidity. This whole case is self ID in action. I'm so fucking sickened by it

Ricky Gervais completely gets it. There was an extended section in his last stand up show about the absurdity of Caitlyn Jenner

Someone has tweeted 'if it protrudes, it's a dudes'.....

13 million followers my dudes!

This debate will run and run. Some say “If she says she’s a woman, then she’s a woman.” Others say, “Nah, not with a big rapey cock she’s not.” I don’t know who to believe.

Thank you Ricky.

God love him. 😁

Classic Ricky 💙

He had a rant about Caitlyn Jenner is his last stand up show, I think?

hmm

rather a different tone in the tweets on that thread than you find here

i expect joss prior and co will be wading in to tell all the dudes how to think?

I hope he doesn't delete it like the 'Buncey' one

Ricky knows who to believe, we know he knows & they know he knows...

Brilliant. And 99% of the comments after see this all for what it is. Men can't ever be women and some who are trying to say they can be clearly have ulterior motives.

big rapey cock

love it.

can't stand Ricky Gervais, mind.

I'm not sure how helpful Ricky 'Mong' Gervais is to any given subject.

Ricky you have just up in our estimations significantly.

First responder on that Twitter thread nails it for me:

"It's very simple - women, trans or otherwise, should go to women's prisons, but if you have a dangerous prisoner like Karen White or Rose West, then you take measures to keep the other prisoners safe from them.

There you go, all sorted without treating trans women differently."

We need all the help we can get.

Caligula: "It's very simple - women, trans or otherwise, should go to women's prisons, but if you have a dangerous prisoner like Karen White or Rose West, then you take measures to keep the other prisoners safe from them."

Even simpler: men go to men's prisons, and women go to women's prisons.

Even simpler: men go to men's prisons, and women go to women's prisons.

I agree, women (trans or natal) in women's prisons. That's exactly what it says in my post.

No, men shouldn't get into women's prisons by saying they're one: what (actual) bollocks.

If only there was a way of telling if someone was a man or a woman.

There might as well not be any women's prisons the moment that's normal practice.
