Eddie Izzard criticises discord sown between trans and women's rights: 'They shouldn't be fought against each other' | Watch (msn.com)

Another interview with Izzard saying these "arguments will drift away", it's "live and let live", its a right wing ideology etc.

Get fucked Eddie.
Women's rights will not just "drift away" you moron.

It's NOTHING to to with homophobia, the arguments aren't even comparable.
You just want women to shut up and sweep themselves out of the room and close the door after themselves, don't you?

Well, it's not happening you twat.

Wait, Izzard has a connection to Edinburgh Gin?! But I really like their liqueurs!

<weeps in horror>

No less than an Eddie Izzard Gin it seems. And it's all based around 'her' mantra - https://www.edinburghgin.com/eddie-izzard

The smug younger person has enraged me. Effectively he said - when the people who object to having their boundaries crossed have eventually been silenced, WE can decide whether or not we can remind them of the fact that they have been silenced. The difference between accepting gay people and this ideology is gay sexuality does not impose itself on others, nor ask others to lie day in day out. I find this analogy both incredibly trite and equally really chilling. How are they that lacking in comprehension.

No, Mister Izzard, these arguments will not drift away.
AND I won't be buying any more Edinburgh Gin.

Tosser.
I'd say transing is homophobic in the extreme. The argument isn't about 'trans' rights V women's rights, it's about the powers available to men that invalidate and weaken women's rights. I'm not hearing the female transmen fighting for access to male rights, now why is that..... Why does gizzard think women and girls needed protection in the first place. I supported him before when he was a cross dressing, boundary challenging, stereotype smashing guy. Now he's parodying women with the surgery and false breasts he's dead to me.

His demeanour reminds me so much of Lily Madigan, also showing his feminist chops by, er, writing on his hand in Sharpie.

I don’t do Twitter and have no idea who this person is
Happily. What’s going on there?

Ponderingwindow · 26/10/2023 16:26

Actually, I think the statement is true. Some day these arguments will just drift away. People will accept that a man is an adult human male and his personal sense of self or expression should not be constrained by social traditions. A man will be able to walk down street wearing a dress and makeup if he wants and no one will think it makes him any less of a man.

The MSN clip (OP originally linked) has comments disabled but an overwhelming number of thumbs down votes anyway.

It’s almost like MSN knew people wouldn’t be complementary about him / his views.

Roste · 26/10/2023 16:23

He can’t honestly believe he is going to be seen as a woman?! It’s definitely going to be seen
as a trans villain, nothing wrong with that at all. No one believes boy mode to girl mode is actually real other than the Izzard of Was.
I used to be a huge fan in the 90s, loved the dismantling of gender stereotypes with a masculine looking male wearing lipstick and dresses, now he presents as a misogynist with a fetish. Not a good look.

Is it time for that informative image of Eddie dressed in womangender rummaging in his pants in a queue for the women's toilets, surrounded by women dressed in jeans, trainers & anoraks stoically avoiding making eye contact?

This one?

It is certainly a bloke - as is apparent to anyone who has seen it; but no, the sex segregated rally was elsewhere. What was of interest, I thought, was the woman's expression.

Ah to have the confidence of a mediocre white man!

SidewaysOtter · 26/10/2023 16:17

How long before someone starts complaining that the negative reviews are "transphobic", do we think?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 26/10/2023 16:14

The funny thing is that most people are going to see him as a "trans" villain. He's obviously male.

CorruptedCauldron · 26/10/2023 16:08

Women’s rights are human rights. You already have a gents’ bog marked out for you, Eddie, so please drift away in that direction - many thanks.

turbonerd · 26/10/2023 16:00

Perhaps his girl mode was using his boy mode as a mouth piece?

I Wonder why that would be 🤔

Ereshkigalangcleg · 26/10/2023 15:47

It looks like a dreadful vanity exercise.

catscatscurrantscurrants · 26/10/2023 15:42

I just watched the trailer. Will be giving that one a swerve.

Eddie is a misogynist - a haiku

So, a man proclaims
'Arguments will drift away'.
Do fuck off you twat.

Genius. I've never got the hang of Haikus but this is a template!

RebelliousCow - for those of us who haven't seen that image before can you explain what it is? Is it a bloke at a sex segregated rally?

It is certainly a bloke - as is apparent to anyone who has seen it; but no, the sex segregated rally was elsewhere. What was of interest, I thought, was the woman's expression.
