Transgender stuff - what's going on?

I’m sure the first lesbian he picks up who sees his cock will think exactly the same thing.  

Great. That's a really normal thing to think. Hey, maybe you should write to Eddie and share your not at all weird thoughts about penises and stuff? It could go something like this:

 

Dear Eddie,

 

I read an article today in which I learnt that you are now identifying as a woman, and have adopted the pronouns 'her' and 'she'.

 

My first thought upon seeing this was, of course, your penis, and frankly I've been unable to get it out my head since. I also noticed you're not taking hormones! Don't you know that's against the rules?!

 

Lastly, I'm quite concerned about the reaction hypothetical lesbians might have upon meeting you. Have you considered this at all, Eddie? I really think you should.

 

Anyway, hope to hear back from you soon.

 

Yours sincerely,

A very normal middle-aged man.

Well it isn't normal, in the mathematical sense of the word, so weird, yea. Just because its weird and not black and white doesn't mean you get to dismiss their opinions, thoughts, experiences, feelings as invalid. Just accept there are plenty of things you don't understand.

 

Again, I don't agree that everything that comes from the trans community is perfectly reasonable or understandable. But pick a more ridiculous target than Eddie ffs. She wants to be called she now, and I'm happy to do that (when I remember). She's also done a fuck tonne of good in the world and "came out" as something without even much of a name, and definitely nothing approaching acceptance. Try and put yourself in Eddies shoes. Why would a human do that, unless they felt a certain way inside? its easy for most of us as we feel like we fit in fairly well accepted boxes. We have differences but most of them don't result in us being abused in the street or online, rejected by friends and family. I don't understand what Eddie feels, but I don't need to, in order to not laugh or sneer at her.

So your point is that Eddie is a good person so should be able to do what she pleases?  But not everyone is as nice as Eddie and how do you know which is which?

I don’t think you can say ‘identify’ - remember ‘TWAW’. Funny though, I’ll give you that.  
 

I mean, woman have always had penis’ anyone who says they haven’t it clearly a bigot.

Yes, exactly.

 

No, I guess my point is that I'm surprised you can't even try a little bit to comprehend when the person is clearly a good person, been around for ages being open about their differences way before it was accepted and when it was a huge risk to their career. They aren't some ridiculous character deserving of mocking just because you're small minded.

Have you been on the GF long?  Pls don’t look at the Maddie thread as the jokes in their are going to give you nightmares.   
 

I mean, all I did was say Eddie Izzard isn’t a lesbian.  

[Bobby Hundreds]

This is really putting me off my lesbian porn.

Is that what your obsessive sneering is supposed to be? Funny?

Everyone is a critic.  Pop me on ignore and you’ll be spared.  
 

For the record I think it’s mental that wearing a dress is all you need to be declared a lesbian.

So the question remains,

 

[Strontium]

Either way, I think one thing we can all agree on is that Eddie Izzard is one fucking ugly woman.

Hahahaha agreed. 

[SasaS]

And since she turns 59 in February, already at an age when most actresses are struggling to get roles, not the smartest career move.

Probably got a book on the way.  

[Captain Turdseye]

There’s a gap in the market now that JK Rowling has outed herself as a massive transphobic BITCH. 

[A Red]

I think Eddie is free to call him/herself whatever he/she feels will benefit his/her career.... errr....I mean whatever he/she identifies with at the time. No problem at all.

 

Commit a crime and the lack of prisons catering for that mindset means he/she goes to a mens prison.

With the way everyone goes on about it here's me thinking that all a kid has to say is they're not in the right body and you start getting pills like sweets from a shop. It doesn't appear to be that easy or these kids aren't doing it right. 

[A Red]

What if a male heavy weight boxer decided to dress up and identify as a woman, became a world class actress and then committed a crime, what prison would they go to? It could happen.

Did you read that article?  The decision on kids access to PB was taken this month, by 3 senior judges.  So before that, it was easier.  The courts asked GIDS to provide the evidence that the treatment worked - they wouldn’t. It’s experimental. 
 

The article also references GenderGP. That’s an organisation set up by a GP who was struck off in the U.K. for prescribing drugs illegally and then fled to Thailand. 
 

so, you’re taking bollocks.

Totally agree. Call yourself whatever you want - but it doesn’t mean you actually are what you say you are. Words aren’t magic. 
 

There’s a bloke in the US serving 34 yrs for raping his daughter.  He’s won the right for gender surgery after which he’ll move to a woman’s prison. Obviously he only asked for breast and plastic surgery first, but when that was refused said he’d go the whole hog.  Once his cock is off he’ll move. Stunning and brave?

The advice on PBs has also quietly changed too. No longer wholly reversible as they were described for years.  Allowing children to make a decision that makes them infertile, when over 80% of kids grow out of GD was deemed wrong. 

[Rico1304]

Long read. Well worth it. 
 

 

[Rico1304]

Poor Eddie didn’t last long.  He’s written that he doesn’t think JKR is a witch and is now on the way to being kicked out of the club.  

[SasaS]

We can also go back to calling him "he" apparently. This is going to annoy Wikipedia.
