Eddie Izzard - "these arguments will drift away".

*"The world is more accepting. The extreme right is not more accepting. The extreme right is setting up culture wars. But most people in the streets... they're saying, 'Good for you, be your authentic self. I think you're looking great,' and hopefully I'm looking okay."

She says the majority of people display a "live and let live" attitude, recognising it as an "honest" expression of "what's inside".*

Disingenuous much? Yes people do have a live and let live attitude. That's why it was cool when you described yourself as a man wearing what you liked. Yes, be your real self. But your real self is not a woman. And not only pretending to be something you're not, but appropriating women's actual biological reality, and expecting to be allowed to invade women's spaces, is not cool and it is not about being your "authentic self".

Excuse me Eddie old boy,you appear to have a little bullshit on your lip.

Patronising, out of touch twat.

Quoting from source given:

"The world is more accepting. The extreme right is not more accepting. The extreme right is setting up culture wars. But most people in the streets... they're saying, 'Good for you, be your authentic self. I think you're looking great,' and hopefully I'm looking okay."

She says the majority of people display a "live and let live" attitude, recognising it as an "honest" expression of "what's inside".

She goes on: "And we're talking about mental health and the wellbeing of people, societies, our communities, our country, our continent, our world. Surely this has got to be better than where the right wing are saying, 'No, set women's rights against trans rights. Have them fight now'?

Try this one instead.

Nah, you knew what you were saying.

This is a person who identifies as reality being all kinds of things. I'm sure in his narrative, yes, a group of female children absolutely had all the power, and a grown man chasing them down the street when they dared to show concern and anxiety at a man getting changed in the toilets they were was an absolutely normal and ok thing to do.

I very much doubt the children or an objective observer would have perceived his personal reality as being connected with the facts. This is someone who identifies as having female DNA, identifies as not being misogynist or sexist, and identifies as all babies being female at conception. See above: 'In my world everyone's a pony and eats rainbows'.

Yes, that's beautiful Eddie.

And in the real world....

I just stated facts, I have also seen the interview where he talks about being chased out of a womens toilet by a couple of girls. Its also in his book, he stated the girls had all the power.

Not cool

Totally unfair

What's my error?

Nice way of skirting over the very fucking obvious intention behind the post. Are you defending it?

You're avoiding admitting to your error?

Your plaudits for my competence are unnecessary from such a source.

Oh do me a favour. 🙄 You and I both know exactly what that poster meant. But that seems to be acceptable here. Interesting.

Surely any comparison with anyone, living or dead, is in the mind of the beholder? Says more about any objector than the op imo.

Nice way of skirting over the very fucking obvious intention behind the post. Are you defending it?

What do you think the poster was trying to say if it wasn't that they think Izzard is a sex offender?

I'm also confused why the posts agreeing with them were deleted but not the post itself.

miniproblem - correct me if I'm wrong but the person to whom I think you're referring was never arrested or charged for sex offences, far less tried or convicted. (I may be wrong.)

I've reported this post twice. It's unbelievable for me this this post with its very clear comparison to a sex offender has been allowed to stay up and others have agreed with it.

What the fuck is going on.

You're welcome.

That has made my morning. Thank you.

Still mourning the lost Eddie, now he's gone womanfishing.....

We start in the foetus as girls and some get coded boys".

So Eddie is mixing up foetus and egg here. Every foetus is based on an egg (x) and sperm (x or y), making a foetus xx or xy. Saying an egg is the same as foetus, which you need to do to make Eddie's statement 'everyone starts as a girl' to be true, what does that mean for women having periods: is that the death of a foetus? Does a period now mean abortion and will women in certain countries now go to jail?

Or maybe a foetus is not an egg and not everyone starts as a girl, male foetusses are boys from the millisecond of conception onwards

Did someone order asparagus?

This just seems appropriate. Maybe the asparagus.

Asparagus is infinitely more intelligent than Eddie Izzard, as are most vegetables.

Not a vinaigrette. Not even a shrimp and samphire sauce.
