Netflix’s New Ricky Gervais Show Draws Rebukes From LGBTQ Groups

Less than one year after employees at Netflix, Inc. staged a walkout in response to a Dave Chappelle stand-up special, the streaming giant has released another program in which a major comedian — this time, Ricky Gervais — makes jokes at the expense of transgender people.

The special, titled “SuperNature,” debuted on the platform Tuesday. Roughly four minutes into the program, Gervais begins talking about transgender women, as well as their pronouns and bodies.
