Sakshi Thakur, Global Circulate, 25th May 2022Gervais wants to offend people. As a Trans man, I won't take the bait

Beau Brink, Popsugar, 25th May 2022Ricky Gervais: SuperNature review - Funny, but at what cost?

Prerna Nambiar, HITC, 24th May 2022From Gervais to Chappelle, Netflix has a trans-bashing comedy problem
The First Amendment only protects individuals from government censorship. It does not stop private entertainment companies from not distributing your unfunny comedy specials or other private citizens from criticising (or avoiding) them.
