Last I heard he was picking and choosing at his convenience. 

‘one woman show’ more exciting than one-man show perhaps.

More like picking and choosing other people's conveniences.

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.

Comprehension not your strong point?

If womanhood is defined as a state of mind, which it has to be to accept Izzard is a women, that definition is forced onto me unless I stop defining myself as a woman.

Izzard's choice forces me into one of l two options neither of which I would willingly have chosen for myself.

And of course younger people have other things to think about right now, and good luck to them. There's plenty of real life shit that doesn't hit the young. Doesn't mean it's not real, or that it doesn't matter.

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.

Of course the mantra "transwomen are women" erases actual women.
That's the entire point of the ideology.

If Eizard wants to identify as a transwoman they can eat their heart out, go bananas, be fabulous. No one would bat an eyelid.

But he doesn't does they. They wants to insist we (women) change who we are instead.

We're "people with ovaries, people with a cervix or pregnant people now. Something they can never be.

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.

@MerlinsLostMarbles your mansplaining is so predictable. To quote Meghan Trainor, 'no-one's listenin'

Someone put EI's poster right next to a Mrs Doubtfire poster, I really hope it was done on purpose.
