"I’m Eddie. There’s another name I’m going to add in as well, which is Suzy, which I wanted to be since I was 10. I’m going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard..."

“That’s how I’m going to roll, so people can choose what they want. They can’t make a mistake, they can’t go wrong.... It’s just a language adjustment. And no one should get het up about it. I’m still gender fluid and I tell everyone that’s supported me, 'Relax people, he or she, it doesn’t really matter.'"

It’s actually quite a mature approach.
I can pretend to be anything I want.
But I won’t force you to pretend along with me.

The Vault Dweller म्हणाले...

Suzy seems to have the good sense to know that asking people to make adjustments regarding these types of gender issues is actually a very big ask, and assuming no malicious intent, it is overwhelmingly the responsibility of the person making the ask to deal with the situation with patience on their part.

I like Suzy. He's cool.

How about I roll away from the even-reduced hassle?

Enigma म्हणाले...

From an era friendly to humor:

"NOOO!!! You don't have to call me Johnson! My name is Raymond J. Johnson Jr. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Junior; now you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr. . . but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!"

That's a very reasonable approach. Most people don't like to be forced to do something, but given a choice would choose to be considerate and respectful.

I don't know what this is all about. I do know that people who use a gender disphoric's chosen pronouns are as mentally unsound as they are.

Troubling isn't it? We are toast!

Johnny Cash would be amused.

cfs म्हणाले...

And the old Johnny Cash song, "A Boy Named Sue" immediately comes to mind.

BUT!isn't The Point of picking a new name and pronoun, that You get to Force others to use them??
Isn't it All About Power??

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

'Wanted to use...'

As if he couldn't use the name before.

Because narcissists like Izzard are known for restraint and tact.

Sebastian म्हणाले...

"he or she, it doesn’t really matter"

Except when it does. So now we have to keep track not only of pronouns but also of the degree to which it matters to people who claim certain pronouns.

Question: when was it decided that A gets to control how B speaks to C about A?

I liked Eddie when he was just an ordinary guy who liked to wear dresses.

Right now, transvestites are more of a marginal group than transsexuals, so I have to consider him a sell-out.

Narayanan म्हणाले...

I’m still gender fluid

do gender fluid [ers/ists] make sloshing sound?

madAsHell म्हणाले...

I'm not sure why this happens, but I think it's a very sick fad.......like tattoos.

Is he going to be competing in girls sports leagues? If not, I don't care.

BUMBLE BEE म्हणाले...

No such thing as Bad Publicity, as Eddie gets his attention. He probably thinks the song is about him.

Seems very apt.

Poor guy is behind the curve.
Transgender is the new gay. Tedious and overdone.
The new thing is trans-species. She's a duck, she's a begonia.
Better get with it...

richlb म्हणाले...

When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world. I made my arms short and I roamed the backyard, I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared. Everybody knew me and was afraid of me.

He does enter and complete a lot of marathons for charity. Don't know what he puts down for the gender category. More and more have a non-binary category (with prize money!). In any case, he is in no danger of a podium spot no matter what he "runs" as. His times are more like a gentle stroll.

GRW3 म्हणाले...

I'm sure their reasonableness will not be appreciated by the aggrieved community.

Transgender is a spectrum, tedious and overdone, downright monotonic, a model of psychiatric dysphoria, sometimes gay, often sullen, but are any from Lesbos?

Why not Edie?

Jimmy म्हणाले...

what Doug said. Bad enough that feminists and other fools expect us to accept this nonsense as normal. But they want to teach our children that mental illness is normal and should be celebrated.
Another great example of the 'product' of American Universities. The building without windows, or consequences.

KellyM म्हणाले...

Fine. Eddie can adopt any name he likes, and others don't have to be hit over the head to comply. "You can call me anything you like as long as you don't call me late for dinner."

Mr. T. म्हणाले...

For all the (electronic) ink being spilled about transgenderism (itself a bogus, far left fake concept), this has nothing to do with it and simply a washed up, second-rate celebrity using some hyped-up publicity ploy in a pathetic attempt to remain relevant. It is much the same as when Brittney Spears keeps flashing her boobs on social mediaa because her music career ended in the 90s.

Scott M म्हणाले...

Someone ought to tell Amazon Prime. They will have him listed as her.

n.n म्हणाले...

Misogyny.

Tell you what, I'll address you as "Sorry, I gotta take this call."

Just don't call me MMPP.

Male misogynist potential pedophile.

What the hell is refreshing about some dude in a skirt not watching a tv with a dead penguin on top of it?

Interested Bystander म्हणाले...

It's unfortunate for some guys that no matter how much makeup and hair dye they use they're always going to look like a dude. There's no way to make that big meaty masculine face look feminine. Ain't gonna happen.

Critter म्हणाले...

I’m tired of seeing so much published about so few. I really don’t care about the name or pronoun issue anymore. Let them do and say what they want but leave me out of it. Humankind has so many more important issues to deal with like the threat of globalism and the targeting of politically incorrect citizens by the government.

Assistant Village Idiot म्हणाले...

He was very funny as a feminine male early in his career. I haven't seen many yucks since then. Maybe there's no connection, but it does seem to be a possible explanation.
