Eddie Izzard male parts in films

We watched a film last night that had Eddie Izzard in it playing a male character. Why if Eddie Izzard is a woman is she playing male parts?

Because whilst Eddie lives in clown land where men can be women, in the real world not many men can pass as women and Eddie knows this.
He’ll conveniently be in boy mode for this though. I expect.

Because when it comes to not living in his fantasy world, Eddie knows that he is a man, and you can bet anything he’ll be being paid as a man!

Because he's not transgender. He is gender fluid. So he is quite happy in male roles. I don't think he's ever acted in a female role. He knows he's a man who likes wearing woman's clothes

He has come out as trans, has said he’s been trans for 30 years.

He still has his male privilege though.

But if she is gender fluid, why a female pronoun, a male name and male acting roles?

Doesn't she have both girl mode and boy Mode? Whatever that means. 🙄

He's a twit who dips in and out of "girl mode" as he calls it, whenever it suits him.

Wear whatever you like, mate, but stay out of our single-sex spaces.

And as for those fawning female staff at that theatre who took him to the ladies room, I have no words....

He's an attention dealing prat.

So it makes no sense at all?
I mean if Eddie thought she was a woman, had a woman's name and took female acting roles then fine. But this makes zero sense at all.

Because every time he goes for a pee, his penis reminds him he's a man.

Yet insists that HE's a woman. Can't have it both ways.

He still has his male privilege though.

But he was saying 20 years ago that he was a male transvestite, not transgender, so he's trying to rewrite history to suit his mental illness.
