Eddie and Graham: How to be responsible male lesbians
grahamlinehan.substack.com
Since ‘Her’ accepted my deeply held inner special gender feeling honest guv that I am in fact, a woman, I’ve realised that too many cis people are talking about trans issues and that’s not allowed. Only people who’ve suddenly started calling themselves trans, like Eddie Izzard and me, are allowed to talk about trans issues.
You are joking, but honestly, as a lesbian, i would have no problem with any male bodied person, what they want to do with their body or attire, if they kept to this code.
OMG I'd be totally happy with men who wanted to dress as women if they would sign up to such a charter. I used to like Eddie when he was a good old fashioned transvestite. And I loved drag queens - pre trans - because they were flamboyant showmen. I'd even stop taking the piss - although I don't tend to take the piss out of the former anyway, and I only renamed Eddie "Ugly Lizzard" after he came out as "a girl", won the "funniest woman" award (fuck off) and is planning on standing as MP - which I suspect is the only reason he came out as "trans".
Sharon Davies interviewed on Allison Pearson, Liam Halligan Telegraph podcast. 'Planet Normal' last week. About German athletes she competed against and the testosterone their coaches made them take. She talks about the Tokyo Olympics and the IOC rules. The transwomen athletes have to get to 10 nanomoles of testosterone, a level which would get a female athlete banned for doping. Worth listening. Made me think, what is to stop a country sending a full team of transwomen athletes instead of women?
I've already been chastised on that score many times already. "STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE!" they holler at me. Fortunately, I have a pre-prepared counter-argument to holler back at them: " Go fuck yourselves!". Works every time 😁

Many old school transsexuals did, and still do.

Bravo Graham, one of your best posts yet 👏

If I saw this picture without knowing who either Eddie or Graham was, but I knew that one of them was taking the piss, I’d guess it was Eddie ..
So, if Eddie finds your profile on Her, and doesn't want a date with you because of your appendages, he is a transphobe? Is that right?
Why wouldn’t Eddie totally sign up to this?
