Izzard - womanhood not a 'mode'

Eddie has long been associated with Parkrun and marathon running. Appeared in Womens Running magazines multiple times and runs in the womens category for park run.
Eddie Izzard running in the women's categories in Park Run is the saddest twattiest thing I have heard in a long time. How desperate is he to Be The Best?

Found aninteresting post on a thread about middle aged men and their fetishes that made me think of Eddie for some strange reason :-)

IdisagreeMrHochhauser
I heard a sexologist talking about this in relation to cross dressing. He said that libido drops as men get older so whereas they used to be able to get turned on by regular sex without indulging in their fetish, as their libido drops they need their fetish to get turned on or conversely they don't want to waste what libido they do have on sex that's not the most satisfying for them. So the fetish becomes more important.

Not every man has a fetish. He did say that they tend to cluster so men with one might have several.

Eddie is a man who lost - to a woman!

Eddie is a man.

We all know it. We can see it.

Madness to pretend otherwise

I do love how the DM are trolling him with their descriptions though.

I am assuming that they are detachable, in order to obtain the more lucrative and abundant male parts in the acting sphere.

I remember back in the early days on a chat show Nigella Lawson was telling him the dress thing was clearly connected to the loss of his mother when he was a child.

Around the same time Eddie was wondering if Eddie was a lesbian, I believe.

Calling yourself a woman (or 'girl' in Eddie's case), or a lesbian, is just as much an invasion as using our toilets and changing rooms.

Too late for that I'm afraid, eddie does use and has used women's spaces for many years.

Eddie has previously spoken about how he was the victim when some teenage girls challenged him for being in the women's toilet. If I recall Eddie had gone in the women's to change mode (clothes)

It's fine for him to flip around with gender expression and identity. Good on him. But as long it's clear that his sex is male and therefore cannot play womens sports, get womens awards or use facilities that are protected for women just because he's in 'girl mode'. I think don't think Eddie Izzard is an entitled TA.

EI is such a disappointment.

Isn't he just? I was SUCH a huge fan of his, I’ve seen him live and he was very much the comedian of my teenage years. I can quote huge chunks of his act and still reference them (when I mix my languages up: “Oh, he was from everywhere…”).

But he’s just an embarrassment now - his arrogance and self absorption means he just can’t seem to see how offensive he is to women and how tone deaf his actions are. No Eddie, you don’t get to have a little
sojourn to Womania before skipping back to ManLand when it’s convenient to you.

No but they certainly will be thinking the obvious.

But wallis came out after being elected?

Depends what you mean by a female impersonator I suppose.

""Carina Hughes, prosecuting, said a group of friends were having a birthday party when just after 1am they heard a “very loud bang” or explosion.

One of them, Adrian Watson, went outside, looked inside the crashed Mercedes E-Class saloon and saw “a white male wearing a white long-sleeve top, a black leather PVC miniskirt, tights, dark shoes and a pearl necklace”."

No interviewer ever calls him out.

Relax, unless I've missed one, this country has never elected to mp a female impersonator.

I didn't realise he was a her now, until seeing him on a programme about the Edinburgh Fringe the other night. Frank Skinner deftly sidestepped the pronouns conundrum by saying Eddie did this and Eddie did that, rather than calling him she like all the other sheep.

Isn't he trying to become an MP?

How scary.

EI is such a disappointment.
Complete arrogance and dismissal of the realities women face every day.

What a knob.

A few months ago I saw EI. He was walking towards me so I couldn't help but see his exceedingly tight pleather leggings (and sky high stilettos) and his bulging cock and balls.

He makes me want to vomit.

Bit of a tangent but if Eddie was put forward forward for an honour, would he be knighted or dame'd, or would it depend on the day. Has any transperson been put forward for a gendered honour?

Agree. There was such a lost opportunity in all this to rewrite sexist clothing traditions and encourage men to be more colourful and glittery, or wear a skirt if they want cool balls, without feeling that they’re “not a man”

The whole trans activist movement is so so sexist and regressive.

Still, it’ll be over soon. Tavistock closing and being sued, gender critical beliefs protected in law, all major politicians realising no one wants self ID, and even the media coming to terms with the fact that people are bored of being lectured by randoms in drag.

So true.
