Eddie Izzard's take on gender..... whilst getting his nails done
Jump to: Newest in thread
He said of the nails: “I use it as a badge of identity – I am a transgender guy who came out 31 years ago.
“I’ve got boy genetics and girl genetics. We get obsessed by it in humanity. We’ve been obsessed for 5,000 years of civilisation and people are still being murdered – in Uganda they were trying to sentence people to death.
“If you look at a tiger, you go ‘ooh, tiger!’, we don’t go ‘girl tiger’ or ‘boy tiger’. We are obsessed by the genders because we grow up in one gender or another. No other animal is obsessed by our gender – they don’t give a monkeys about our gender.
“No matter what sex or sexuality, how you self-identity, or who you fancy, matters not one whit – what do you do in life? What do you make? What do you add to the human existence? That’s what’s matters.
He added: “It all comes back to Nelson Mandela: Try and put something into the world, and leave something positive.
“The confidence that it has given me, coming out 31 years ago in 1985, is immense – but it was a very hard journey. Very hard.
The comedian continued: “I identify somewhat boyish and somewhat girlish. I identify both, but I fancy women.
“I don’t know why, it’s just the genetic cards I’ve been given. A lot of people have said very nasty things to me, have fought me in the streets… but f**k them!
“Because this is real, and this has always been here, so let’s get the truth out, rather than running and hiding.”
Here's the vid where he says this.... https://youtu.be/ARKUJIoeZpw |

"I've always found him to be a rambling mess a lot of the time.
I think he's saying respect people for who they are not what they are. "
I think he's saying don't look at anyone for which gender they should be |

"Somebody quoted him on another thread the other day, when asked why he wore women's clothes, he replied "I don't, they're my clothes"  "

I like that quote too and it's going to be my status for to day.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention. |
