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.

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

You're avoiding admitting to your error?

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

What's my error?

Not cool

Totally unfair

I just stated facts, I have also seen the interview where he talks about being chased out of a womens toilet by a couple of girls. Its also in his book, he stated the girls had all the power.

Froodwithatowel · 28/10/2023 12:00

This is a person who identifies as reality being all kinds of things. I'm sure in his narrative, yes, a group of female children absolutely had all the power, and a grown man chasing them down the street when they dared to show concern and anxiety at a man getting changed in the toilets they were was an absolutely normal and ok thing to do.

I very much doubt the children or an objective observer would have perceived his personal reality as being connected with the facts. This is someone who identifies as having female DNA, identifies as not being misogynist or sexist, and identifies as all babies being female at conception. See above: 'In my world everyone's a pony and eats rainbows'.

Yes, that's beautiful Eddie.

And in the real world....

Nah, you knew what you were saying.

Quoting from source given:

"The world is more accepting. The extreme right is not more accepting. The extreme right is setting up culture wars. But most people in the streets... they're saying, 'Good for you, be your authentic self. I think you're looking great,' and hopefully I'm looking okay."

She says the majority of people display a "live and let live" attitude, recognising it as an "honest" expression of "what's inside".

She goes on: "And we're talking about mental health and the wellbeing of people, societies, our communities, our country, our continent, our world. Surely this has got to be better than where the right wing are saying, 'No, set women's rights against trans rights. Have them fight now'?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 28/10/2023 13:15

Patronising, out of touch twat.

WickedSerious · 28/10/2023 13:23

Excuse me Eddie old boy,you appear to have a little bullshit on your lip.

Disingenuous much? Yes people do have a live and let live attitude. That's why it was cool when you described yourself as a man wearing what you liked. Yes, be your real self. But your real self is not a woman. And not only pretending to be something you're not, but appropriating women's actual biological reality, and expecting to be allowed to invade women's spaces, is not cool and it is not about being your "authentic self".

Wikipedia's summary of the plot of the original book:

'Jekyll's letter explains he held himself to strict moral standards publicly, but indulged in unstated vices and struggled with shame. He found a way to transform himself and thereby indulge his vices without fear of detection.

Jekyll's transformed body, Hyde, was evil, self-indulgent, and uncaring to anyone but himself. Initially, Jekyll controlled the transformations with the serum, but one night in August, he became Hyde involuntarily in his sleep.'

Edited

It's uncanny.

@miniproblem
You Are the Thought Police.
I am not impressed with you.
Your thread was in trending earlier and I hope that means a lot of people see how you allow only one way of thinking.

That is despicable, and if I knew how to do the Jammy Dodger you would have one stat.

Eddie was not, is not and can never be a girl. He is lying, wants all the media to lie, and demand that we all believe his lie or else…
And you are cheering him on.

Fucking hell, that is low.

OvaHere · 28/10/2023 14:20

No Eddie, women are not going to drift away from noticing you are a) a man and b) extremely disparaging about women.

“they're saying,…I think you're looking great”

That’s what they all think, isn’t it, that they pass and look great. Meanwhile, the rest of us have very different opinions on the Emperor’s latest look.

I am glad you said fuck off, because then clearly I am allowed to bellow
FUCK FURTHER OFF

right back at you.

I tag who I like, believe it or not, because it is a free board.
And you posted, and reported like a narrow minded thought police on here, then fucked off to start a New thread on how the deletions weren’t rapid enough for you.

That sucks, bro.

Enjoy your weekend.

turbonerd · 28/10/2023 15:09

was the jd for me?

Why Thank you 💐💐

Such a nasty tone to this. You aren't doing yourselves any favours

I don’t care what you think, to be honest. I’m tired of men cosplaying being women and thinking that’s OK. In his interview Izzard seems to suggest that everyone is cool with his behaviour except those on the “extreme right” (which is bollocks in itself because most GC women I’ve ever met are left wing) and we most certainly are not alright with his behaviour when it comes to chasing girls out of loos and demonising anyone who has a different opinion from him as far right.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I was once a huge fan of Izzard because he was pushing the boundaries of what it was to be a man. Fucking good for him, why can’t a man wear a dress or makeup or heels? But once he started calling himself a woman…nah, fuck off with that.

Serious question.

If a famous woman of Eddie's age dressed and presented herself the way Eddie does, do you think the media would be fawning over her and saying she looked great?

0rch · 28/10/2023 15:29

I don't agree with anyone making comments about other people's appearance. The media or the pp. it's just unnecessary and unkind

Cosmosforbreakfast · 28/10/2023 15:30

Does this man ever stop with his nonsensical misogynistic ramblings? Find another way to get publicity for your silly movie Eddie.

I am just so ashamed and embarrassed that I was ever a fan and thought he was a really cool guy.
