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.

No Eddie, we DON'T know that, YOU have made that up you blithering dick.

I get it...girl foetus is the norm, helpful, collegiate, neat and tidy, caring, feathers the nest.
Boy rebels against the norm of female foetus, arrogantly and aggressively fighting wars and beating women, lying and conniving, hunter gathering.
Eddie was always that girl foetus, he was always into short skirts and knee length boots, just like Freda Wallace, both of them hate they became those caricatures called boys/men.
Now they're regressed back to his true original gender, girl foetus.

The only thing that rings true amongst this total bollocks (sorry Freda, but if you will sit that way...) is the foetus bit, and the fact that Eddie is arguing his point as if his IQ was that of a foetus, girl or otherwise.

Bloody hell, he couldn't know less about genetics if he tried. And his logic is seriously lacking too. If men being XY means they're somehow partly female (though of course it really DOESN'T mean that), then that would be true of all men, so there would be nothing "trans", non-male or less male about Eddie.

bombastix · 27/10/2023 17:01

I just think he is a few mints short of tin these days. And that is a shame because he was once rather funny. Whatever is going on for him is one thing, but the externalising of it is quite another. It seems a bit desperate

A quick google shows that asparagus has XX and XY chromosomes. By his logic, does that mean EI is asparagus?

I, for one, will not be eating poached salmon with new potatoes and steamed Eddie Izzard. No matter how he is dressed.

"We know we are a mixture: XX and XY, not XX and YY. We start in the foetus as girls and some get coded boys".

Thinking about it, this also means that Eddie thinks being a TW is a real genetic thing that involves really being female, but XX women cannot be men (as they have no Y). So TM are not M. Which is.... terribly transphobic.

I can’t imagine that Eddie ever troubles himself to think about transmen.

Asparagus is reputed to be an aphrodisiac.

So no.

Not a vinaigrette. Not even a shrimp and samphire sauce.

Asparagus is infinitely more intelligent than Eddie Izzard, as are most vegetables.

Froodwithatowel · 27/10/2023 19:16

This just seems appropriate. Maybe the asparagus.

So Eddie is mixing up foetus and egg here. Every foetus is based on an egg (x) and sperm (x or y), making a foetus xx or xy. Saying an egg is the same as foetus, which you need to do to make Eddie's statement 'everyone starts as a girl' to be true, what does that mean for women having periods: is that the death of a foetus? Does a period now mean abortion and will women in certain countries now go to jail?

Or maybe a foetus is not an egg and not everyone starts as a girl, male foetusses are boys from the millisecond of conception onwards

I've reported this post twice. It's unbelievable for me this this post with its very clear comparison to a sex offender has been allowed to stay up and others have agreed with it.

What the fuck is going on.

RethinkingLife · 28/10/2023 10:53

miniproblem - correct me if I'm wrong but the person to whom I think you're referring was never arrested or charged for sex offences, far less tried or convicted. (I may be wrong.)

Nice way of skirting over the very fucking obvious intention behind the post. Are you defending it?

What do you think the poster was trying to say if it wasn't that they think Izzard is a sex offender?

I'm also confused why the posts agreeing with them were deleted but not the post itself.

Dumbo12 · 28/10/2023 10:55

Surely any comparison with anyone, living or dead, is in the mind of the beholder? Says more about any objector than the op imo.

Oh do me a favour. 🙄 You and I both know exactly what that poster meant. But that seems to be acceptable here. Interesting.

You're avoiding admitting to your error?

Your plaudits for my competence are unnecessary from such a source.
