Eddie Izzard - Guardian interview

[StoneColdAlibi]

The Guardian have just posted an invitation to put questions to Eddie Izzard. This feels like a great opportunity to get a well worded, gender critical question out there. The thing is I'm a bit stuck, collectively we must be able to come up with something though!

I reported the "terf" comment as misogynistic hate speech and I think its been removed.

Excellent work

Putting a different perspective out there:

Eddie used to be such a cool and inspiring example of healthy gender-non conformism (or whatever you want to call it) with a unique look and an obvious interest in support various charities. So someone that could be respected for his originality and good work.

Then it suddenly all turned ridiculous a few years ago.

Could it be that he also fell prey to the current obsession with labelling people as ''trans'' who before would simply be people who enjoyed cross dressing and challenging stereotypes? Could it be that this has messed up with his mind too and he went from knowing who he was to complete confusion?

I am really sad I must say that he has bought into this madness. I used to like the old Eddie...

Eddie, can you explain how you switch from boy to girl mode so easily? This will really help children who are being taught they need medication and surgery to be able to do this.

Eddie do you know how many people you have disappointed? Many really admired, even loved, your willingness to challenge "gender" stereotypes about what men look like and how they present themselves. Now you are clearly just a misogynistic tit.

Please post this one!

Are the playground level digs at a person’s appearance really necessary?

It’s comments like this that give mumsnet and GC a bad name.

Oh, I'm not sorry. I'll try to be kinder.

But honestly, the resemblance is uncanny.

There's nothing that would pierce his narcissism, I used to really enjoy his comedy, he has disappeared up his own rectum.

It’s comments like this that give mumsnet and GC a bad name

Inmy experience it's more the screeds of bad faith bollocks posted my MRAs and their helpers that gives MN a bad name

Please ask this. Perfect.

Eddie do you regret shaming young teenage girls who were using a womens toilet and were shocked to see you there?

Did your parents never tell you to keep your hands off your dick when in public?

I agree that it's deeply unfortunate that women in showbiz are held to unrealistic beauty standards. It's a big fat shame if famous man Eddie Izzard gets swept up in this when he's wearing woman face.

His appearance is neither here nor there. He looks like what he is. A man in his sixties who has lived a full life and seen plenty of sun.

I am still waiting for Eddie Izzard to answer this question. I have a feeling I will be waiting a while.

Do you ever wear casual clothes when in girl mode, or do you always feel you have to dress as a stereotype? Why do you think this is?

He will just fluff and flaff he is not capable of shame. Now nobody should be shamed ever apparently, kink shaming is the worst thing you can be shamed for... Hey, there's a contradiction (shame for pointing it out). <shame>

Why do you use women toilets?

You said in your autobiography you used them 40 years ago, and theres photo of you using them now, have you always used womens toilets?

Also, what would be the one thing you would do to help stop male violence against women and girls?

Are there no decent hairdressers in Brighton?

Why don't you care about women and girls?

Well the questions they are allowing through are riveting!

That top one is an excellent example of the 'absolutely not a fetish' brigade of autogynephiles

Those answers to those questions are really going to give insight into Eddies understanding of what being a woman in the UK in 2023 really means aren’t they? Though I think they might give a really good insight into how Eddie sees being a man in the UK in 2023, because let’s face it he knows more about being a man than he does being a woman. Sorry I meant he knows more about boy mode than girl mode .

I too would like to know about how high the heels are and how you manage to walk past building sites without getting 1000000 proposals of marriage from the sexy builders from all the Diet Coke adverts. Always a problem, I find.

If you’re just fighting for the right to be nasty on the internet, knock yourself out.

If you’re actually here because you care about defending women’s rights, you might want to think about the impression jibes like this give about the GC movement.

Don't forget ladies, we mustn't mock the men by comparing them to cartoon women.

That's much worse than men putting on heels, a short skirt and red lipstick and expecting us to pretend that makes them some kind of woman.
