Snoozy Izzard.

Snotty Lizard, you say?

I hope Jolly-On complains to the venues about their transphobic advertising…

Snoozy Izzard.

He's misgendering himself! The massive transphobic bigot! CANCEL him NOW!!

But their stage name for touring and tickets will still be Eddie Izzard

Suzy hasnt said that suzy isnt bothered. They've declared a preference for she/her pronouns and the name Suzy - but that it's ok if someone says he/him or Eddie.

I love Chris Evans but he has Eddie on this morning and I'm getting too angry at the simpering. Cheering on a text from a listener bragging about welcoming Eddie into their Women's Only running club etc.

Is he ever interviewed by anyone who would just treat him as Eddie 'as was' and not do all this? After all, if he says he doesn't mind. Sorry I've said the same thing a couple of times this morning but as long as Eddie is openly, repeatedly quoted as not being bothered, why does nobody just say what they see and treat Eddie accordingly? (This is pretty much a rhetorical question at this point)

Yuck.

I've switched over now. Not that any of them care, but it's the only thing I can do to stay sane this morning.

I used to LOVE Eddie - saw him a couple of times in the 90s and knew lots of his sketches word for word. I'm so angry.

Awful story, but on the bright side, I don't suppose dressing like that did him any favours in court. The judge only had to take one look to see what they were dealing with.

If people 'are who they say they are', and Eddie continually stresses any name or pronoun will do, I guess I don't understand why anyone would make an issue out of supposed misgendering at all. It's from the horse's mouth. If there's a choice, I don't see why anyone should humour Eddie on this at all.

But thinking this gives Eddie the right to enter women's spaces is sickening.

Look up 'authoritarian follower personality'. It's enlightening. There are personality types who love rules, and being able to enforce them on others, and scold and punish, and see others punished, and get their virtue cookies by being Better Than You. It's less the subject matter that's at the heart of it, or any actual values, it's how it works to meet the person's needs.

Then read some Dickens: Mr Murdstone. Mr Brocklehurst. He was making fun of personalities like this and their scolding superiority nearly 200 years back. At the time though for men like that, the vehicle that met the needs, and let them behave that way while appearing righteous, was religion. The vehicle changes: the personality doesn't. Take it back a bit further and you'll find it in witch prickers and puritans.

So why do others - who have nothing to do with him - get offended on Eddie's behalf if no misgendering has actually taken place? I guess it just highlights TRA militancy for what it is?
Eddie knows full well that he doesn't have to enforce pronouns because his flying monkeys will do it for him.

Of course he is. Identity goes out the window when there are bills to be paid.

Used to love EI. The hoovering joke was hilarious. Very disappointed in him.

I've seen people do this at every stage of Eddie hitting the headlines over the past few years. And every time, he states he doesn't mind and is relaxed about pronouns. As this time. So why do others - who have nothing to do with him - get offended on Eddie's behalf if no misgendering has actually taken place? I guess it just highlights TRA militancy for what it is?

To a point Eddie always seems somewhat relaxed about how he is perceived and never made demands on it. But using women's facilities and now this (apparently) textbook creepy name change seem a world away from this laidback 'I don't mind' line. I guess there is more to come?

Will Suzy still be accepting male acting roles?

A lot of men used to say that in the 90s. It was a shitty chat up line. A lot of us used to say we preferred men to walk off as no one needs a smarmy t*sser.

I think that we should stop believing men and start making them explain themselves.

My ex did this. My haircut...

Crikey, what an awful sack he is. I'm at least glad to hear that he wasn't able to have access to your daughter, the bloody freak.

Every time this thread appears on my TIO I start singing

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
Well, what are we gonna tell your mama?
What are we gonna tell your pa'?
What are we gonna tell our friends when they say
"Ooh, la, la"?

Go away Eddie,you're boring us now.

My sympathy too - sounds awful 💐

Like the plot of Single White Female, but Newly Separated Trans Male.

Fucking hell, I'm so sorry.

Come on, don't be mean! The Transvestite Islington Fox-Murderer hasn't been in the news for at least a fortnight.

They really don't want to be in power do they?

When you have all the political parties loudly writing suicide notes and you realise NONE of them want to have to run the country...
