Origins
In regards to what Hannah Gadsby was trying to accomplish with the special, they said, "I wanted to help a diversity of voices, so this was my best guess."[4]
Critical reception
NBC News wrote, "During the special, the seven comedians joke about everything from being competitive at the bouquet toss at weddings to the idea that the word cisgender, which refers to someone who is not transgender, is a slur."[5]
The Los Angeles Times said, "So with this latest offering, Gadsby plays ringleader while showcasing incredible genderqueer comedic talent from all over the globe," jokingly referring to lesbian comedian DeAnne Smith as "a weird little guy."[2]
Rachel Kiley of Out magazine wrote "Move over Dave Chappelle; Hannah Gadsby is bringing a new lineup of genderqueer comedians to Netflix! Gender Agenda shines the spotlight on "seven emerging voices" from the comedy scene."[3]
