He not a she, he is a transvite but still a man. According to one of his comedy specials. Has that changed?
Yes, she came out as a trans woman several years ago
Wow I didn't know that. Good for her.
She changed her name to Suzy and became She by preference, but he is also happy to be referred to as he or Eddie.
That's awesome, always loved her every since I watched her special Dressed to Kill on HBO when I was a teen. Was the first show I bought digitally on Amazon long ago too.
I keep seeing casual mentions of "positive experiences" with fascist companies these days. This hasnt happened before. New influx of people or paid advertising?
This is the craziest thing I’ve read since I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Purchased from Waterstones, Deansgate Manchester.
This is not an ad.
😂 Had a good laugh. Did not expect that one at all
Glad to spread a little laughter this morning.
What fuck you babbling about? What fucking ad?
I try not to mention brands explicitly, but plenty of people seem to do that. I think a big issue is that brands have become verbs. People don't search for information, they google it. They don't buy things, they prime them. They don't watch generic TV they watch Netflix. I have a family member that calls all sneakers Nikes. I think branding has become "better" and marketers are making their brands an important part of the activity itself. It might just be a passive culture shift due to this difference.
Because they are able to take over the market by illicit means.
How long since you last went outside, mate?
Go personal all you want. I suggest you go join demonstrations against this shitfest. Or is that not real in your world?
Those are glimpses of the real world outside of your tiny bubble.
It could be nostalgia to the days those services where not overly fascist and still seeking to cater towards the end user instead of only making money for the shareholders.
At least that's what this comment feels like.
Yeah, would make sense. Interesting too how vastly different perspectives can be on lemmy from one space to the next.
Some people understand that global warming, fascism and other dangers to humanity are real, others are deeply oblivious. Its fascinating.
What's fascinating is how you turned "I bought this show a while back" into a political argument.
I'd argue a majority of the people on this fringe platform understand the dangers you name, but not everyone wants it to be the only thing they ever discuss.
Can someone with more patience than either of us please grab 10,000 social media posts from a year ago and 10,000 posts from this week, and run them through a lightweight LLM to flag up how often it's happened?
So she/he pronouns?
She prefers she but understands that not everyone would know that/ knows her as he/Eddie and isn't too hung up on it
(My interpretation of the reason added but she really doesn't seem too bothered if people do call her Eddie)
Probably made even more difficult by the quotes about how "they're not women's clothes, they're my clothes". I don't exactly keep up with celebrity news, so up until this post Eddie Izzard being resolutely a man who wore makeup and clothes designed for women was my default assumption.
Yep exactly I think she just understands that people might not be aware. She seems like the kind of reasonable person to be that way.
Yeah I even assumed "Suzy" was a character or something at first, kinda like Borat, used to make a some statement; that just feels like an Eddie Izzard move. But based on the new information, it seems like "Suzy Izzard" is correct and sincere?
It is a bit of a shame, since it does somewhat undermine the strength of dressing how one likes despite gender norms; bolsters the narrative that that's just part of the pipeline, and not valid in and of itself. But, she's not compelled to moderate her expression in order to uphold some banner of transvestite representation. She can obviously do whatever makes her happy and I'm happy for her
She's trans. Not a transvestite.
In all fairnes that is what she called herself in the few specials I watched of hers.
You keep using that word but I don't think you know what it means
