Eddie Izzard interview - one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read

Uses she/her throughout, ‘one woman show’ etc etc - calling anyone who disagrees that TWAW ‘fascists’.

Every time I think I’m inured to this rubbish I read or see something that makes me despair. What a pathetic, preening liar he is.

With you all the way. The Grauniad love this kind of male-woman though don't they?

I can’t bear him.

Quelle surprise the guardian are lapping it up

That pose in the picture is really rather unfortunate.

The picture looks like Gordon Ramsey has lost a lot of weight.

I saw the headline and didnt go any further. Offensive.

The Suzy news broke last month but Izzard adopted the name nearly a year ago, and will soon have it added to her passport. For now, she’s been using it on Deliveroo.

Lol

I read up to "fear of literature" and gave up 😂
What a load of old cock!

Have you seen the video ads for that show? Clips of it in practice basically - and absolutely excruciatingly dreadful.

Such a shame, I loved the 90's stand up shows. "Are you happy with your wash" had me howling.

This is madness, the absolute bullshitteryof the man. I've never liked him, decades ago I had a visceral reaction to him. Lots of women I knew used to say they found him attractive. Never found him funny either.
Think it's safe to say I'd rather gouge my own eyes out than see this!

It's not just that he's a prat, as that the Guardian's an even bigger prat for pandering to him.

It's a wonder he hasn't done a big documentary on it, Storyville like.
Standing outside libraries and breaking into cold sweats, palpitations at the sight of a Waterstones sort of thing.
A breakout and migraine at the Sunday Times best sellers list.

Could he be any more ridiculous?

Death Star Canteen.. Hilarious 😂

This is hilarious:

Article: What does the artist formerly known as Eddie Izzardd*, who recently announced she was adding “Suzy” to her name, wish to be called in print? “I think stay with ‘Eddie’ because that’s my public name,” she says when we meet at her manager’s office in London. “And I am gender-fluid. I don’t want to lose Eddie. What I don’t want is ‘Suzy Eddie’.

One woman show... 🙄

Where's the woman?

If you knew Suzy, like I know Suzy.
Oh, oh, oh what a ?

Entitled and deluded. What an arse. I despair of the Gruniad. They are printing lies and taking their readers for fools and propogating misogyny

I couldn't finish reading that. It was if the journo was actually trying to shoehorn in as many extra female pronouns as possible.

For Izzard to dive straight into calling anyone not pandering to it all fascist and right wing is the trans version of the script. Offensive and stupid.

At the end of the interview he says he'll feel they've won once trans is basically boring. When people don't bat an eyelid. BUT he already had that.

None of us gave a fig when he said ' this isn't a woman's dress, it's my dress', or when he wore heels and lipstick. It was bloody fine. We all kind of forgot about it and liked his candour.

However, insisting on being recognised AS a woman is different altogether.
It feels like being trans wasn't getting him quite enough attention. He knows that insisting on the pronouns whenever he feels in girl mode gets him attention.
Trans women especially don't want to go unnoticed. The attentionseekingness of it all absolutely reeks.

Pink phone. Blood red claws and lips. Very few actual women walk around looking like this. It's definitely for attention when a man does it.

Makes me puke.

I don’t click on Guardian links, I don’t want to give them the traffic

Fuck, just when I think he can't get any more deluded and, frankly, revolting, he actually goes and bloody manages it.

Twat.

he'll feel they've won once trans is basically boring. When people don't bat an eyelid.

For that to happen, there would have to be no rapes in prisons and on hospital wards, no blokes with swords in women's toilets, or ones handing out tampons and taking selfies of themselves with young girls (or shouting at them and chasing them down the street), or blokes insisting they're lesbians and that homosexual women have some bizarre duty of free sex work for them, or female exclusion from rape crisis, refuges, female only health support groups, sport, freedom of association, freedom of thought, stuff like that.

Stop jumping up and down on women and children's feet with your bloody size 13s and there'll BE nothing to talk about.

And the URL of the article too. Tch tch.

I watched 'Victoria and Abdul' last night, I'd forgotten he was in it, he was a much more convincing Edward VII than he is a woman.
