Damn I've been using she/her pronouns since I was born and no one was applauding me for that.

Womanhood is only a struggle for men apparently

Actually I was assigned unicorn at birth but I've struggled hard to transition in to a mermaid. Well, mermaid is one of many things I am or could be depending on a feeling but I am NOT a unicorn! So please use preferably mermaid pronounce but anything other that the unicorn works, I may not have a tail but I really feel like a fish and that's what counts, right? Hope I don't drawn!

This is very sad. I remember when Eddie Izzard used to mock others ruthlessly for their silly pretensions. Now he should be making fun of himself.

makes me wonder if he saw the attention ellen page was getting and wanted to jump on the bandwagon.

and I wonder how many more celebrities are going to come out as "trans" or "genderqueer"

No, I think Izzard has been headed this way for a long time. I suspect that the autogynephilia trajectory has something to do with it.

Maybe Eddie Izzard is actually making fun of TRAs? The whole thing reads like satire.

He's getting older and his star is fading. Become a Trans Warrior for attention.

And here I thought it was a man who liked to perform in women's clothing. No one had anything against it. I liked that he was breaking gender boundaries.

Now that he says he's a she, suddenly, STUNNING BRAVE VALID.

Is he going to change his name?

He also states that this could be temporarily. So any day now he can be "he/him" again, but now he's Q, so still STUNNING BRAVE VALID.

In all honesty it must kind of stink a little to be Izzard. He’s been breaking boundaries technically for a long time and some of his comments on clothing make sense that is hard to deny. And it was kinda like oh he’s cross dressing and not gay, ok, I guess don’t beat up your kids they could still be a comedian or something... and yet his reception was not like some of the T get. This whole parade and endless keyboard warrior defenders and the ability to bully lesbians and have straight people support you! And the whole uwu community that you can share both your mental illness you refuse to get treated AND your porn collection with, plus guiltfundme privileges, I mean gee can we really expect any big name GNC or cross dressing celebrity to not want to opt in to those benefits? Who wouldn’t want to have the support of people on reddit who post child porn on subs they’re disagree with to get them banned and people who mob and hurt disabled elderly lesbians at LGBT events. Stuwuning, bwave, meaningwess!

Please be a joke/satire just sayin. The more joke coming outs there are the more ridiculous this whole thing hopefully seems
