i suppose in real life we have a number of social badges - hair, clothes, makeup, demeanor - that determine the gender of someone. we get unstuck when people want to reassign their gender without actually following those social badges. so if Izzard is wearing a frock, "she" seems appropriate, if wearing a DJ "he" would be. its all fine until someone takes offence if the incorrect form is used, when social convention doesnt have any way to predetermine what gender is correct, except those social badges.
thing with Izzard is he's made a point during his career of normalising transvestism, saying he just likes to wear dresses ("woman can wear what they like, so do I" - cant fault that logic), without it being about gender or sexuality.
It’s almost as if it’s time for pronouns to not be gender specific. In all seriousness why is it important to reference someone’s gender/sex when discussing them?

Yes indeed, terribly difficult.
Yet we manage to walk around with a database of names to call each other. Sometimes we even manage to retrieve key information about each other to spark a conversation.
If they like to be called him/he or her/she is certainly a step to far though.

I think it’s time I went non-binary.

saw him a couple of times with large audiences 1500 , 2000 he was flat and most of the audience didn't get him ...loads walked out during second half of show then saw him again a a comedy fest event with a small audience under 200 and he was funny but blue as ....steven merchant was surprisingly funny as was alan davies.
That actually made me chuckle
Prepared to forgive him the Palace thing, just, because - like me - he grew up in Bexhill, and went to school at St Bedes and then Eastbourne College.
He was a couple of years above me at both, but I do vaguely remember him. And he has sometimes talked about certain teachers in his act, which strikes a chord too.
Though I do feel he’s morphing into the headmaster’s wife from St Bedes. A ghastly, make-up clad harridan, known by her initials EP, who traumatised a generation of kids and totally emasculated her husband. For those who knew her, you can definitely see something of her in Eddie’s’” ‘look’!!

Why oh why oh why?
What's wrong with 'mate'?
I used it once when addressing the Duke of Edinburgh. He said something along the lines of 'I'm not your ****ing mate' but, apart from that, I think we hit it off rather well.
In the course of a recent food shopping delivery, the driver called me 'buddy' about ten times.
I remained placid but inside I was screaming.
Groundbreaking comedy?
Interesting 
Probably wouldn’t get a mention on here if he / she / whatever wasn’t a Palace fan from Sussex.

No, not his/her.
Your fellow Palace fan has declared that they are now addressed as a she/her.
Gender is experienced between the ears not between the legs.
If you can’t even grasp that for one of your own, perhaps you need to look in the mirror before coming on here and criticising others.
I suspect the c**t tag was for her football loyalties.

For me, she's a **** because of her football loyalties. Couldn't care less about the rest, each to their own. But Palace? Shameful.
How many times did he say 'not a problem at all' when asked to do something that is part of his actual job?
The world is full of *****. Death is too good for them.
You have my Christmas Eve sympathies.

ihr, surely?
This post has made me laugh out loud, which is more than the Palace ‘comedian’ has made me do.

Izzard, Sean Hughes (RIP), Mark Steel - Has to be said, it appears you do need a sense of humour to support them..
