Eddie Izzard now uses the pronouns “she” and “they”, the British comedian announced.
“I’m kind of fluid. I just want to focus on the girl mode from now on, “Izzard told UK TV’s” Portrait Artist of the Year. “
Izzard – who has been wearing makeup and women’s clothing for years – said she chose to appear on Sky TV because it was “the first show I asked if it could be” her “and” her “. “
“It feels great, because people just assume they know me beforehand,” she said, calling the “short transition period” a “positive” step.
“A life, live it well,” Izzard said.
The ad quickly had the 58-year-old star in online trend on Sunday – and was called “hero” and “pioneer” by many fans.
“I can’t tell you what she means to me as a comic” wrote the comedian Shappi Khorsandi. “I shook the world of comedy when I was a teenager and beyond. I changed everything, I made room. I love her and this morning I am very happy for her. “
Another fan remembered meeting Izzard in a bathroom in the past.
“She explained that when she is in a girl’s regime, she uses women’s pants. I wanted to tell her that I didn’t give her everything she uses, I’m a huge fan. ” wrote a fan, saying that “he just gasped because I was trying.”
In September, the comedy legend told Mail on Sunday: “When I’m in girl mode, I’m happy to be known as ‘she’ and when I’m in boy mode, I’m happy to be known as ‘him’. ‘
“But I’m just as happy to be called Eddie or ‘Hey Dude,'” she said.
