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.

‘I’m going for it like crazy’: Eddie Izzard on her one-woman, 19-role Great Expectations

After 30 years, the standup star is now finally winning acting plaudits, for a ‘tour de force’ take on Dickens with sharper punchlines – and Hamlet is next

The thing is, TW have always used womens loos without women noticing...

The thing is, TW have always used womens loos without noticing that the women felt uneasy about them, but were too afraid to challenge them, or that the women behaved according to their feminine socialisation (which the TW lacked entirely) and were therefore polite and accommodating, or that there was a woman outside the toilets warning other women "There's a mxn in there", so that they could make an informed choice about whether they wanted to enter or with until the intruder left.

Not without noticing. Without commenting.

Partly out of a sense of be kind. Partly because a man dressed as a hooker groping his crotch in the ladies is a very scary man. Which why all the women in the photo posted previously are looking at their phones and otherwise refusing eye contact with him.

It's not that they haven't noticed. It's that they're trying to avoid making themselves a target.

EsmaCannonball · 02/05/2023 22:40

Do you think he knows that pink isn't magical?

ZuttZeVootEeeVo · 02/05/2023 22:51

I've been misunderstood!

I think its unlikely that any man, trans or otherwise could ever go unnoticed in womens spaces. But i think izzard knows that too. He's not exactly trying to blend in is he?

We need a sarcasm signal! You replicated the other side posters too well

You’re completely contradicting what you said in your previous post, which was:

TW have always used womens loos without women noticing

Confused
SargentSagittarius · 02/05/2023 22:55

You were being sarcastic…..? 🫤

Clymene · 02/05/2023 22:58

I use those loos a lot. There's always a queue in the women's but never in the men's. I'm furious he took a space meant for a woman.

Had I been in that queue I'd have just queue jumped in front of him whilst informing them the gents was round the corner

At which point, he’d scream at you for being a hateful, transphobic bigot!!!.

He has form, after all.

Datun · 02/05/2023 23:12

What is he doing, though?

It would take a committed TRA to think a 60 year old man in a fuchsia pink coat having a good old rumage, could go unnticed.

I don't really want to know

Meh! I'm much scarier and probably much louder, and would be a damn sight more annoyed than him! And insults are just like water off a ducks back at this point!

Adjusting his lady-bits? I don't know about you but I always put my hand in my crotch and have a rummage when standing in the queue for the ladies 🤨

Shhhquirrel · 02/05/2023 23:25

’Girl mode’ hardly. ‘Post-menopausal woman mode’ surely?

JanesLittleGirl · 02/05/2023 23:26

He is trying to find the magic point where he can squeeze his willy and so stop himself from pissing all over the floor. There is no equivalent for women.

I don't have kids, but have looked after enough over the years and to me it's very reminiscent of that thing little boys do, when they are caught up in what they are doing but can't be arsed just stop and go for a pee.

This.

Fed up hearing that it's ridiculous that "transphobic" women have never said anything until practically last week, so previously it was all fine, we just read the Wrong newspapers and watched Fox News. Or something? Plus we must be Tories.

I was very Wrong anyway.

goldfinchfan · 02/05/2023 23:48

I can only think that inside Eddie is avery sad little boy who needs his mum.

Making out he is "Suzy" has to be some kind of bent out of shape coping. He wants to createthe original woman he lost. His mum.
This is Eddie not any other Trans women. Everyone is different.
