Eddie Izzard criticises discord sown between trans and women's rights: 'They shouldn't be fought against each other' | Watch (msn.com)

Another interview with Izzard saying these "arguments will drift away", it's "live and let live", its a right wing ideology etc.

Get fucked Eddie.
Women's rights will not just "drift away" you moron.

It's NOTHING to to with homophobia, the arguments aren't even comparable.
You just want women to shut up and sweep themselves out of the room and close the door after themselves, don't you?

Well, it's not happening you twat.

I think you've summarised it nicely for me OPGrin

I knew Izzard would be a variation on, "It will all be OK because nobody listens to actual women and I, a man, will ultimately determine how this turns out."

Ohdearanotheryear · 26/10/2023 09:46

Spot on @HootyMcBooby76 .

Why should anyone listen to a man around what women should and shouldn't do. No Eddie it won't drift away.

Pretty much.

Stomacharmeleon · 26/10/2023 09:48

Another bloke telling women how to feel.....

Igmum · 26/10/2023 09:52

Well said Hooty Grin. I think more people are listening to the sensible, science side. Participation of 6'4" TW in sports is really helping here. Devastating for the many talented women they are (sometimes literally) shoving out of the way, but very clear visuals for the general public.

Beowulfa · 26/10/2023 09:52

Is it time for that informative image of Eddie dressed in womangender rummaging in his pants in a queue for the women's toilets, surrounded by women dressed in jeans, trainers & anoraks stoically avoiding making eye contact?

Seconded!!!

WindowsSmindows · 26/10/2023 09:57

Can you share the image beowulfa?
I'll go Google and see if I can find it

Gagagardener · 26/10/2023 09:58

@Beowulfa Yes!

Needmoresleep · 26/10/2023 09:58

Says the man with no self awareness.

WindowsSmindows · 26/10/2023 09:58

Found it. Bleurgh...

tiredofbeingadmired · 26/10/2023 10:01

Yes @HootyMcBooby76

This is the hill I die on.

Abhannmor · 26/10/2023 10:21

Don't put a tooth in it @HootyMcBooby76 - tell us what you really think !

Brewdug · 26/10/2023 10:23

"It will be up to us to decide whether to forgive them or not" waffles the halfwit next to Izzard. Gee. Thanks mate.

Who do these two think they are? Seeing Eddie's ideology shift further to the extreme with every interview or public appearance is so upsetting. I used to give EI the benefit of the doubt but simply can't anymore.

JustHereWithMyPumpkin · 26/10/2023 10:24

Eddie Izzard can eff off with his AGP bullshit.

RebelliousCow · 26/10/2023 10:27

No, these arguments are only going to get more pronounced.

The other day at a Pro-Palestinian rally, a Pride Flag was removed; and an extremist Islamist group held a separate sex segregated rally. I've posted this photo on another thread but will post it again here. It encapsulates just one of the reasons this issue will not be disappearing any time soon. Of course there are many more.......which others have mentioned above.

Oh the ego of Eddie, just casually waving away the valid safety concerns of women.

Despicable.

Anyone else think that's an uncanny inverse of the final lines here from 1972?

Gay Liberation Front journal - Come Together - issue 11: Lesbians Come Together. It's from a piece by the GLF Transvestite, Transsexual and Drag Queen group, originally published in 1972:

A more central question is how to relate to other women. When we talk about our hopes and fantasies, it becomes apparent that what we want above all is to be accepted as women, primarily by other women. But will we achieve this by looking for ways in which we share experience with regular women or by developing a unique transvestite consciousness?

Sometimes the second approach seems real militant and proud, at other times it seems a cop-out, accepting the prejudiced view that we're not women, that we're some freaky third sex (or fourth or fifth?). Possibly we can find some light by considering the situation of black women and gay women, who develop black pride and gay pride, but still explore their feelings as women. Think how much more inspiring and beautiful the women's revolution will be when it joyously includes all women. Think of a Holloway demo with transvestite, transsexual and drag-queen women, gay women and heterosexual women, black, yellow, brown and white women, working women, housewives and career women. Certainly, whatever course we take as transvestites, transsexuals and drag queens, we must first destroy the trap wherein regular women set up standards by which they accept or reject us .

Oh fuck off, Eddie.

No, we will not "drift away".

You "drift away", you ghastly misogynist.

WoollyBat · 26/10/2023 11:01

Says the rich successful white male who has zero idea what it's like to be disadvantaged and put at risk because you're female. And therefore can't see why women's rights are even a thing to worry our little heads about. While claiming to be a woman 🤦🏻‍♀️

Drift away Angry The arguments that will "drift away" or in fact collapse in a heap are the TRA arguments that are internally inconsistent, illogical and scientifically baseless, regressive and anti-woman/anti-homosexual, and harmful to kids.

Motnight · 26/10/2023 11:06

Good to see that Eddie's ego is as male as his body.
