In what must be the cruellest trolling by the Guardian yet, Eddie’s quote is placed above photos of 16 women who were murdered because they were women; not because they identified as women, not because they dressed as women, but because they were born women.
Oh yes! He's a very rare find. I've followed him for a while & and am often blown away by his empathy and solicitude. (Come the revolution, he'll be one of the few testes-havers to be spared!)
Although I'm not keen on men identifying into womanhood, I'm more upset at the timing with the Guardian editors. How fucking tone-deaf do you have to be to not see the crassness of putting those stories on the same page. And in the week of IWD to boot. Just fuck right off, you wankers.
Unsubscribed from the Guardian when they called young female athletes challenging males in their sports ‘non-transgender girls’. That felt like trolling too. They’re now trolling us from the front page. I hope they get bad publicity for that horrendous juxtaposition. Seen disgust on Twitter but not sure if it’s just in my bubble.
I just can't believe the utter lack empathy towards women from the Guardian. Who knew they would end up being one of the most misogynist News papers out there.
Trying to create a space for himself? He's been on stages playing to thousands of people, he's been on tv for 20 years, he's been praised and basically done what he likes for 20 years, he's been lauded as a panellist on Question Time. How much more fuckin' space can he take up?
It's terribly sad that he lost his mother at such a young age and feels he must act out in some way to "get her back", of which I'm sure this is just the natural progression, but that means he needs to speak to a therapist not a newspaper.
This nonsense, because that's what it is, has to cease. This man is as male as can be, from head to toe, with significant indicators in between to prove the case.
The link between these males ,many who use their trans ID to enter womens spaces, with negative intent to harm , is all about violent misogyny-- as for Izzard, he is one outstanding opportunistic male jumping on an ego bound grandstand . Born Male, always male. How bloody dare he!
There's no evidence that trans identified men are more dangerous than other men, but we do have sex segregated spaces because of the danger from all men regardless of how they see or present themselves. That's why I don't want male sexed people in women's safe spaces.
Remind him of real comedy: Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon (with Marilyn Monroe) in "Some Like It Hot" (1959) - days of yore when men in dresses were ridiculous and this was pure, really pure comedy! With B/W still.
I don't mind how men dress - dresses, lipstick whatever they like. If they are not a) claiming to be actual women and b) causing anyone any harm then best of British to them!
Jesus H Christ!!! The Guardian is like those editions of Harry Potter that have a "serious" cover, so adults reading on the train don't look like they have just mugged some kid on the platform. In this case though it's just stealth Pink News.
Brilliant but horrifying expose of The Guardian and its tentacles deep into into Gender Woowoo territory by Gender Critical Woman:
Not a women to today or ever, fuck you Izzard. I’ll avoid everything in future from this wanker, and I used to be a fan, even went to his show, no more.
The part that struck me was when Izzard (who I generally like, apart from on this issue) said that he would like to alternate between pronouns but wasn't allowed to: 'you can change your pronouns but you can’t use he and him as well. You’ve just got to be she and her from now on because we’ve only got so much time on our hands'.
But it's not about time is it.
TRAs who constantly bang on about spectrums and fluidity have imposed an inverted all-or-nothing binary system on people like Izzard because it would otherwise undermine their need to ostracise anyone who accidentally misgenders someone. We can't have that.
Izzard is lying. The Met Police have employed a male "gender fluid" cop since 2017. Hard believe that has not crossed Izzard's RADAR. How can we expect Izzard to tell the truth about ANYTHING when he refers to his scaring schoolgirls in The Ladies as "coming out as Trans".
"Scotland Yard police officer becomes Britain's first gender-fluid bobby with two ID cards in the names of Abi and Callum"
Daily Mail
A Scotland Yard police officer has become Britain's first gender-fluid cop and is carrying two ID cards, in the name of Abi and Callum.
Their identity has otherwise remained hidden, but they are now identifying as both genders after 13 years serving as a man, following the Met's 'Bring Your Whole Self To Work' diversity initiative.
"UK's first gender-fluid policeman going by names 'Callum' and 'Abi'"
The Telegraph
policeman has become Britain’s first gender-fluid officer and is using separate male and female identities while at work.
One some days the officer goes by the name Callum — and on other days goes by the female name of Abi.
The transgender PC has two warrant cards, one in their male name, the other in their female identity.
Gender fluid is a gender identity which refers to a gender which varies over time. A gender fluid person may at any time identify as male, female, neutral, or any other non-binary identity, or some combination of identities.
Their gender can also vary at random or vary in response to different circumstances. It comes as part of the Met Police's diversity initiative encouraging officers to “be themselves” at work.
The mindfuckingly awful placement of this on the front page isn't Izzard's fault. But don't worry! The article does a fine job of showcasing what an entitled, self-indulgent bellend he is:
This is brilliant.

Yes! Thank you!

WOW - what a guy!!! 👏👏👏
Isn't he?! Totally nailed it. I'd bake him a cake & buy him a pint any day of the week.
Some of his other threads are, likewise, brilliantly insightful and his level of empathy is, quite frankly, astounding 🙏💪🏆
Oh yes! He's a very rare find. I've followed him for a while & and am often blown away by his empathy and solicitude. (Come the revolution, he'll be one of the few testes-havers to be spared!)
Bastards. Am boiling with rage. Fuck you, Eddie and the Guardian

Absolutely! It’s sickening.
They really hate us don't they? I fear for our daughters
Unsubscribed from the Guardian when they called young female athletes challenging males in their sports ‘non-transgender girls’. That felt like trolling too. They’re now trolling us from the front page. I hope they get bad publicity for that horrendous juxtaposition. Seen disgust on Twitter but not sure if it’s just in my bubble.
I would expect nothing less from either the guardian or izzard. Koolaid by the gallon.
I just can't believe the utter lack empathy towards women from the Guardian. Who knew they would end up being one of the most misogynist News papers out there.
No doubt most reassuring for women that Eddie isn't trying to colonise their spaces & places.
No, really!
Currently on homepage of T"Gruan (screen grab: [img]https://i.ibb.co/Bnhk9yc/Screen-Shot-2021-03-12-at-13-30-43.png[/img]) Big E sez "I'm just trying to create a space for myself" so that's OK then.
Triple promotions to 'she' all round!
Trying to create a space for himself? He's been on stages playing to thousands of people, he's been on tv for 20 years, he's been praised and basically done what he likes for 20 years, he's been lauded as a panellist on Question Time. How much more fuckin' space can he take up?
So where has he been all along, then? He's occupied more space than most other people. Utter fraud.
Eddie's MO combined with this interview screams unresolved mummy issues.
@Stop have you seen this? It's a few years old. About 1/3 down there's a bit on him getting his mother back. 😐

No I hadn't, thanks very much.

Self interest i presume (?)
Remind him of real comedy: Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon (with Marilyn Monroe) in "Some Like It Hot" (1959) - days of yore when men in dresses were ridiculous and this was pure, really pure comedy! With B/W still.
That should reframe his references....

So having a 'Boob fetish' qualifies you as a Women these days! Unbelievable
Perhaps boob fetish is his way of telling the world he's a tit.
Ha ha!! He's certainly convinced me!
This is outrageous. Absolutely horrendous. Shame on The Guardian.

How scary is this in a member of the Police Force, FFS! :
"A gender fluid person may at any time identify as male, female, neutral, or any other non-binary identity, or some combination of identities.
Their gender can also vary at random or vary in response to different circumstances."
Anyway, Izzard is lying - again.
What in the name of christ does it mean to be promoted to she and what the hell is girl mode
When he wants to be taken seriously and earn top dollar, it's boy mode. Girl more is for when he wants his stunning and brave status validated.
That makes perfect sense
There’s only one “girl mode”. It begins and ends with being born with XX chromosomes.
The mindfuckingly awful placement of this on the front page isn't Izzard's fault. But don't worry! The article does a fine job of showcasing what an entitled, self-indulgent bellend he is:

I can't even work out which bit is the most infuriating because every single sentence is infuriating in a completely different way.
And look at the URL, fucking nora.
The whole article is a massive emetic.
