Suzie Eddie Izzard

[viques]

Sorry for the link.https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-15759671/Suzy-Eddie-Izzard-kids-one-day-mother-death.html

Apparently Suzie Eddie Izzard has said he would like to have children some day.

Do we think 64 year old Suzie Eddie will be in girl mode or boy mode when he reproduces? And will the Suzie Eddie baby call Suzie Eddie mummy or daddy?

Answers on a postage stamp.

Another selfish, entitled male. Every time I think he’s hit peak dickhead, he proves me wrong.

A man does. That’s who. Someone who will be cushioned from the actual birthing and the risks involved with that, and generally not the person who is the default parent and doing most of the work.

If a woman expressed a desire to have a child in her 60s there would, rightly, be uproar. Eddie has a lot of support for this because he is a man.

Jeeez, he’s not planning on having kids. He just said “never say never”, that doesn’t mean anything, it’s just something people say!

Isn't Hamlet a recognised male part that's almost exclusively portrayed by male actors.......

No woman thinks about having children at 64. Only men do.

How curious.

Oh my poem was deleted!
Now, how will the toxic sewer sew it on a sampler?

Can you ever imagine it being something that a woman would say, though? "Yes, I'm 64, but I'm not ruling out having children in the future!"

I'm knocking on 50 and overweight and if somebody asked me whether I might at some point want to try to represent Team GB in the Olympics, I would laugh in their face; I wouldn't say (in any kind of seriousness) "Well, never say never!"

Was it because I mentioned the well-known fact that fetishes escalate?

I assume you will start your scolding and bigot!-ing with sorrynotathome who you replied to, given the flagrant, literally violent use of male pronouns in that comment then?

You should say never when you are 64. How is that in any way thinking of the needs of the child?

People are just talking about him. Nobody is hassling him. What you actually want is for people not to criticise him. He's a public figure, who uses women's spaces, who has deliberately frightened teenage girls as an adult male. People are allowed to discuss him and his behaviour. And to not like him, and even be rude about him.

I commented on this last night but I agree with a lot of the comments made since.

I was a huge fan of Eddie and I had every stand-up video he ever did. He’s witty, and funny, and spontaneous. I would still find those routines hilarious today - Darth Vader in the canteen anyone? 😂

I think that the fact he was brave and outspoken, unafraid to express himself, is why so many of us feel disappointed in him now.

He told us for many years that they weren’t women’s clothes, they were HIS clothes. And we all applauded his gender non-conformity. It felt like progress - a man being accepted and adored, even though he didn’t conform to traditional stereotypes. Wonderful.

And then the trans movement gathered pace.

Eddie pops up to tell us he was a woman all along. And he even has a tragic story to tell us of how he felt intimidated by two young teen girls when he was oh-so-innocently using the female toilets. Poor Eddie.

Of course though, Eddie, now Suzy, gallantly says he won’t get upset by the use of different pronouns. And in fact, he actually has boy and girl modes that he can effortlessly slip in and out of. The really handy thing is that he’s able to engage boy mode to scoop up the lucrative career opportunities. He doesn’t want to be hampered by the pesky gender pay gap so he just identifies out of that issue. Phew.

And then he also tells us that he just wasn’t into men and is attracted to women. It’s almost as if he’s still that straight gender non-conforming bloke that he always was. Surely not though….

Eddie is just another privileged bloke who wants to claim women’s spaces as his own. I suspect that the loss of his mother at such a young age plays a part in all of this. I can feel enormous empathy for him losing his mum while still thinking that he’s an enormous misogynist.

I started the thread, and no it wasn’t to start some trans bashing. It was because I get really pissed off at the way people like Izzard are so prepared to both castigate and then use a superficial and stereotypical facsimile of women and womens experience for his own , financial, advantage. Sneering at teenage girls who are brave enough to challenge a middle aged man in a female toilet. Using woman face because he thinks it keeps him edgy and woke, but actually making sure he hangs on to every ounce of male entitlement within reach.

Yes, he was a brilliant and original comedian in his day, held up a mirror to his audiences and challenged prejudices, startled us and made us think with wit and off the wall connections, but now I find his ideas stale. Like many of those comedians who entertained us because they were original, fresh and different eg Ben Elton, Harry Enfield, Julian Clary, he really hasn’t moved on, or maybe just doesn’t read the room as well as he used to and now is a parody of what he used to be.

He used to stick it to the man. Now he is just a man sticking it to women.

At some point Izzard must have realised that transvestism doesn't age well but instead of finding the courage to laugh at himself and what he's made of himself, he chose to claim victimhood and blame those nasty old transphobes.

Trans identification, with its fiction that anyone can be whatever sex they like anytime they like and that everyone else must accept it... that must have seemed like such a tempting way out of his situation. But in reality he's just snookered himself.

He is a heterosexual male so he could potentially have children as men can father children into their dotage.
He would though need a female of childbearing age.
I don't think there is an upper age limit for adoption (uk)but prefer the adoptee to be not more than 45 yrs older than the child.so options will be limited to
Private adoptions will different rules.
Surrogacy no upper age limit so may agencies world wide prefer 55 yrs or under.
He seems very entitled.

That.

I have DVDs of many of his shows which I used to love, but I watch them now and cannot move past his mask off misogyny and hypocrisy.

Man who walked into a women's toilets and shouted at the teenaged girls who dared to challenge him. And stands in the queue to the women's toilets adjusting his bits. And said that women driven out of public spaces and facilities by his presence - he wasn't bothered, their problem. That's your 'I'm a lefty person who thinks being tolerant and inclusive is cool and groovy'.

Bollocks does he.

Mind you, to be fair, who of Labour in its current incarnation has not turned out to be a misogynist, hypocritical and self serving disaster with their claimed views and virtues bearing absolutely no connection to what they do in reality?

Yes, I think this when you read of people who want to be falsely represented on their child's birth certificate - such as Freddy McConnell, who actually fought legally in a determined attempt to be registered as the father of the child to whom she gave birth.

It really smacks of wanting a child as nothing more than a little fun accessory to enhance your own life, and not really being particularly bothered about the life and the rights of that new person. It's bad enough when parents decide to actively burden their children with absolutely objectively ludicrous names, presumably just for the LOLs for them.

It sees the child as an extension of their own identity and self expression. But then much of this seems to involve a difficulty in seeing others in any terms other than their practical usefulness.

Equally I think it's appalling that a person can change their sex on their birth certificate so that it is shown that the mother gave birth to a girl when, in fact, she gave birth to a boy. That is a falsified document as far as I am concerned.

Now i need to know why Brandreth is the Grim Reaper

Bit of a joke in Private Eye and elsewhere. People tend to shuffle off this mortal coil soon after being interviewed by him. And then he does a sorrowful piece on the radio or in the DM saying how chipper they were when he had tea with them so recently.
