  Izzard identifies as genderfluid[94][95] and calls herself “somewhat boy-ish and somewhat girl-ish”.[18] She uses the word “transgender” as an umbrella term.[96] When asked in 2019 what pronouns she preferred, Izzard responded, “either ‘he’ or ‘she’” and explained, “If I am in boy mode, then ‘he’, or girl mode, ‘she’”.[97] In 2020, she requested she/her pronouns for an appearance on the TV show Portrait Artist of the Year and said she wants “to be based in girl mode from now on”.[98] In March 2023, she announced that she would begin using the name Suzy in addition to Eddie, saying that she is “going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard”.[2][1] Explaining that she had wanted to use the name Suzy since she was 10 years old, she added that people “can choose” which name they want to use to refer to her,[1][2] and that she would keep using Eddie Izzard as her public name since it is more widely recognised.[99]

    FTR, I have seen Eddie/Suzy at multiple shows, and s/he has said that “Eddie” is fine, but prefers Suzy.

  Yea cross dressing is still a popular thing, with this greentext joke ignores. Though a lot of closeted trans women would also be extatic at the situation presented here.

  Also! Woa! I didn’t know that! Good for her good for her

    Isn’t that literally crossdressing? Someone enjoying dressing up as the opposing gender, yet being cis otherwise? For example, just because they like the aesthetic, or because it is a fetish for them?

      “still cis tho” is used a lot in trans places as a joke for trans people in denial, which i think is what this is poking at

        Fair, I admit I am not hanging out in those places that often. Kids these days and their language, man. Get off my lawn!
