To feel incredibly sorry for Eddie Izzard

I don't want to pity Eddie but I felt a wave of sadness after reading that Rosie Duffield (MP) said she would rather be arrested than refer to Eddie as a woman.

@gamerchick well yes. Isn't there form?

Thank god for women like Rosie Duffield

He is gender fluid, I believe.
I suppose I felt sorry for him because I can't imagine how difficult it must be to identify as one gender and have lots of people tell you that you're not.

But he doesn’t identify as one gender.

I didn't know that. That seems a shame.

Show quote history
Hmm

Screen shot alert?

Mode not model

But then the next day they would be right again? That's gender fluid for you - some days Eddie feels like a man, some days Eddie feels like a woman.
So Rosie would be 50% correct any random day in any case.
And if she misgendered Eddie one day, then the next day she would be correctly gendering Eddie.

  1. Eddie is not a woman.
  2. Watch the video where he expresses being in 'boy model and 'girl model depending on what he's wearing - apart from anything as if heels should define how you feel.
  3. Being GC is not a shame and not transphobic
  4. Feel far more sorry for the teenage girls he took great delight in bullying in the ladies toilets

Eddie Izzard is not a woman and I will never view him as one or call him one.

This isn’t The Emperor’s New Clothes.

I'm not sure what my internal gender is.

How do I find out?

It's not adhering to stereotypes, is it? (Likes cars and beer: manly gender; likes cooking and dresses: womanly gender)

Please could you explain?

Goady thread of the evening award OP.

Stop it.

Is Eddie Izzard hoping to be a Labour candidate?

He's made the long list.

Awesomeo · 27/10/2022 20:40

Well, he was born male and has a penis. So he's not a woman.

stealthninjamum · 27/10/2022 20:40

Op you just called Eddie Izzard a he.

How transphobic.

Brefugee · 27/10/2022 20:40

I want him to fuck off and try to stand where he has actual connections and understands what is wanted and needed.

I don't give a flying fuck about his pronouns

SpudleyLass · 27/10/2022 20:40

YABU.

He is a man and not a lesbian. He is not a woman, I'm with Rosie. Its time for people to feel sorry for women and girls.

WaddleAway · 27/10/2022 20:39

I feel sorry for the women who have to share their supposed ‘safe’ places with men.
Eddie Izzard thinks that all it takes to become a woman is to wear a pair of high heels, and that you can switch between sexes as and when you fancy.

ghostyslovesheets · 27/10/2022 20:39

I don't - EI is a man in a dress (to quote EI!) She's right

also what the actual fuck is 'girl mode' that just wankery that is

Iamacatslave · 27/10/2022 20:39

Eddie doesn’t care about Rosie.

Ludo19 · 27/10/2022 20:39

But Eddie IS a man!

LizzieSiddal · 27/10/2022 20:39

Every single cell of his body contains male chromosomes.

I’m with Rosie.

PuttingDownRoots · 27/10/2022 20:38

Eddie which to dress as a woman and live in what they consider to be "as a woman". That is their choice and should be respected.

Doesnt mean they are physically the same as a woman.

VinoDino · 27/10/2022 20:38

Has MN really deleted a post stating that Eddie is a man?! He IS a man. Jesus Christ.

LimeTwists · 27/10/2022 20:38

Being a woman isn’t a costume. He is not a woman; he feels he is a woman. I don’t feel sorry for him simply because people don’t play along with his delusions. I feel sorry for him purely because he has a psychological gender dysphoria.

Squirelnutkins · 27/10/2022 20:38

Izzard is an idiot and a man to boot! What is there to be upset about.

Whoputtheramintheramalamadingdong · 27/10/2022 20:38

He IS a man though, what's up with stating the bloody obvious?
