In the overtime segment of “Real Time” Friday night, host Bill Maher uttered three words in response to comments by provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on transgender women using the ladies room next to “women and girls” that got fans on the political left very upset.
“That’s not unreasonable,” Maher said in response to Yiannopoulos saying, “I think women and girls should be protected from having men who are confused about their sexual identities in their bathrooms.”
This created a backlash on social media about how Maher is “transphobic,” “an awful person,” and much more.
WATCH:
Maher said it was “not unreasonable” for Milo to doxx a trans woman to protect “women and children” in bathrooms. Fucking bigot.

The piece of shit then turned to his guest and asked “where do you stand on weirdos peeing?”
Fuck him.

The Bill Maher-Milo lovefest was, among other things, the most trans-hating discussion I’ve seen on television https://t.co/GnAaKGIHtA https://t.co/MRDpluL4bW

I didn’t think Bill Maher could be more dead to me, but now he’s also hating on trans people. https://t.co/xmVnvGJ87O

Bill Maher is an awful person. He just casually perpetuated the myth that trans women are a threat to cis women & girls in public bathrooms https://t.co/eMPo94PGcF

Bill Maher is being super trans phobic on the latest episode of Real Time. @larrywilmore is the only one calling Milo out.

Really, it’s a testament to how simpleminded Bill Maher is. Say enough negative shit about Muslims, trans people and “P.C. Culture”…

Last night, Bill Maher outed himself as someone who wants to put trans women’s lives at risk. He is a hate mongerer like any other.

I’d be more afraid of Bill Maher in a bathroom with my imaginary daughter than any trans person.

TBH Bill Maher ridiculing trans people & praising a scummy alt-right troll isn’t at all surprising if you’ve ever watched his show #RealTime

People are gonna be super mad at the fuckshit milo was spewing on Bill maher’s show, but Bill was almost as bad re: trans people

By booking Yiannopoulos, Bill Maher is further normalizing extreme bigotry. He’s putting trans and undocumented folks in extreme danger.

#RealTime Bill Maher throws trans community under the bus yet again on Overtime.

Wish I could be in the room when Milo stops beating a Trans Muslim and Bill Maher turns to Milo, and whispers, “It’s my turn now.”
— David BrockBot (@DavidBrockBot) February 18, 2017
it’s important to note that Bill Maher agrees with Milo’s mythology about trans people that they are “confused” & “shouldn’t be around girls
