Muslims are the second-largest religious group in Sheffield: 7.74% of the population or 42,801 people (2020 census).

Eddie is standing in the Sheffield Central constituency which has a much younger average age of those eligible to vote. I assume that's to do with the university which has 30,000 students. This will obviously swing things in Eddie's favour.

After the Jared debacle we know anyone could get elected there. Eddie will get in if he stands.

I feel so angry that Eddy is going to be selected to represent Sheffield and I can't bear the thought of what self serving claptrap he might campaign for as an MP - spearheading the removal of rights and safeguarding from women.

Posie has said she will stand as an independent against Eddie.

I really hope she does.

Eddie Izzard is transgender. She uses female pronouns, and I would have no problem using the loo whilst she or any other transgender woman was in there. I usually lock the cubicle door!

Your inclusivity is heart warming. I presume you would have no problem telling the 10 year old girl in this news report, who probably has a different opinion about inclusivity, that she should be kind and try not to be a bigot.

This offender also assaulted another young girl in a public toilet.

Sadly this is just one example of many and not an isolated incident.

Izzard is a red rag to a bull for me personally.

He built his brand on being a guy who liked makeup, heels and dresses.
He was refreshing.
These aren't women's clothes they are mine.

Then he started with the girls mode/boy mode and demanding female pronouns and the girl mode makes me a women bullshit.

Obnoxious male privilege in action

This!

If Eddie is an intact male with male genitalia then what your stance invites is ANY intact male using female facilities regardless of their intentions or delusions. Because of dipshit ‘be kind’ thinking like yours, women now have no respite, dignity, privacy in spaces away from men. Thanks for that. Well done you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That is nice for you that you don't mind sharing with a man, but you don't get to choose for me or anybody else.

Eddie Izzard used to be liked for being different in a way that took nothing from women.
Nobody cared about his make up or the clothes he wore.

Now he is just an old, stale, has been comic, conforming to a misogyny based stereotype of what a part time woman might be.
Only men think you can be a woman part time.

He is no longer different, and sadly has joined the camp containing the Jessica Yanivs & Barbie Kardashians of the world.

Muslims are the second-largest religious group in Sheffield: 7.74% of the population or 42,801 people (2020 census).

Muslim women in Sheffield - & of course the women of the much smaller Orthodox Jewish community - should not be faced with the prospect of an MP who actively & knowingly seeks to exclude them from public spaces (outwith their places of worship). Nor of course should any of the many other women who self-exclude because of the behaviour of people like Izzard; nor should people face being called bigots &/or transphobes because they don’t believe in GenderWoo; but it’s the clearest clash & any interrogation of it demonstrates Izzard’s selfishness, inflexibility & their unsuitability for holding office on the grounds they so absolutely privilege their wishes over the needs of [vulnerable] women. Doubtless many sitting MPs put their own interests ahead of those of their constituents - but that makes them unfit to hold office rather than meaning Izzard should join them.

Good points here.

Despite being a comedian, the only amusing thing about Izzard is how, after decades of promoting men’s right to wear whatever they like without being called women, he suddenly decided he is a woman - at just the moment it was becoming obvious how woman-hating the ‘trans’ political movement is.

Where is this utopian world where all the cubicles have working locks?

I’ve passed a post natal blood clot the size of my fist in a toilet cubicle with the door wide open and a pram jammed in the door frame.

I dream of your lockable loo palace.

These aren’t women’s toilets, they’re mine!

Oh right so is Eddie “transgender” when in “girl mode” or “boy mode” ?

who cares if you “usually lock the cubicle door”!

No man can expand the bandwidth of being a woman. He can only expand the bandwidth of being a man.

Exactly this

Missing the point entirely. Of course everyone locks the doors, but unfortunately women are hunted by men and Eddie used to be a man.

I don't have strong opinions on this topic but dismissing it that way is really rude and seems like you don't understand the point.

If you'd been attacked by a person born male in a public toilet you might feel differently.

That's the discussion. Stop being obtuse

Why is Eddie's gender identity relevant to which sex's toilet provision she uses? We don't pee with our gender 😂

Trans people are literally proof that sex and gender are different things. The weird coincidence that trans identifying people chose the names of the sexes to label their feelings of inner gender does not mean they actually are the opposite sex!

Deliriumoftheendless · 01/10/2022 13:57

We don’t all lock the door- when my daughter was little and fast asleep in her buggy I would often risk leaving the door open so the buggy was visible/within reach rather than lock myself in a cubicle away from my sleeping child.

I doubt the there’s just me does that.

what do you do if you have multiple little kids, you can’t get all of them and a buggy in can you?

ImherewithBoudica · 01/10/2022 13:57

I look forward to hearing him explain in public that any female with a disability or culture or faith or trauma who cannot use a toilet he is in does not matter, has no worth, does not deserve consideration and can just self exclude and go without provision.

Come on Izzard. Own how very shallow your lib credentials truly are, and how your own self interests are really the only thing that matters.

So? Bully for you.
Don't imagine you speak for all women, please. You certainly don't speak for me.

The rest of us don’t want to be part of this male privilege bollocks.

Theluggage15 · 01/10/2022 14:04

Izzard is a man and he is happy to take male acting roles. And I couldn’t care less Chooks that you’re happy sharing female facilities with men, I don’t want to and I shouldn’t have to.

I actually think that this is the press taking the piss without it being too obviously. The Mail have run a series of articles about Izzard's outfits and there's no way that they are being serious.

It's definitely this. They do it to women as well- a caption of "flaunts curves" usually really means "has put on weight"

TwoWrightFeet · 01/10/2022 14:08

Do we know who the person was who took photos of people using the loos?
