‘one woman show’ more exciting than one-man show perhaps.
Feminism: Sex and gender discussions
Is Ed a full time woman now then?

Noone is forced to do anything.
The existence of transwomen doesn't "erase" women (whatever that actually means, I'd heard it a lot).
"the hell yes this is of concern to me and the hell yes this is my business!"
You'll also find a lot of women, particularly from the younger generations, really don't care what Izzard identifies as and have other things to think about.

Because when a male person claims they are a woman and society accepts this, it forces all women - or rather, all people who previously believed themselves to be women because of their adult female bodies - to chose between keeping the name woman and accepting they are now labelled as having a specific type of mind rather than a specific type of body, or rejecting the name woman, retain the right to have whatever type of mind they have in their female body, but lose the right to all the "women-only" provisions and rights that were created for their sex but have been usurped by this redefinition of womanhood to include the male sex.
So as a female bodied person who neither wants to be relegated to the female-minded nor to lose her sex-based rights, the hell yes this is of concern to me and the hell yes this is my business!

What other people identify as or who they like to sleep with is of no concern to me.
Just wondering why other people consider it their business?

More like picking and choosing other people's conveniences.

If transwomen and their supporters are not trying to erase women, then can you explain why vast resources have gone into rewriting and designing scores of pages of literature, books, websites, products, services and spaces that mention the words "women" or "mother"?
Weird.

Regardless of whomever Eddie is today, I’d like to shake the hand of the person who stuck a “Woman: adult human female” sticker over his/her/thems face on the poster for this on the Tube.
