Yeah, this definitely needed to be broken down into four , 3 second gifs.

You do you and live your life but...there are men's and women's pants, jeans, shorts, shirts. There are not men's dresses readily available.

Also, Action Transvestite. He can do it all. Running, jumping, planting flags, etc.

Ironically I don't feel weird saying Eddie in reference to a man or a woman. Maybe Billie Eilish's name did it for me.

TV show is The Project, from Australia. Terrible show, full of pretentious FIGJAM's "reporting" daily news.

When I see her, I think of the scene in Hannibal where she dines with him. That's a scene I point to when discussing the high bar it set.
IWouldDoThings
I LOVE this man. His brain is ridiculously sexy. He is so smart and funny and adorable.
Jernau
Izzard has had three professional phases: young, edgy and hilarious > successful, arrogant and obnoxious > wise, eloquent and wonderful.
Jernau
This may be unfair, as the fight against discrimination mid-career was a more intense and my view was coloured by the media.
NotACanadian
There may be something about her you don't know
IWouldDoThings
*woman/she. Still 100% just as attractive.
tyrunn
She's out as transgender now
IWouldDoThings
Literally no difference to me, still just as attractive of a person
tyrunn
It's not about you, it's about their preference
IWouldDoThings
Yeah, I'm aware. I meant that their choice doesn't change how attractive they are.
LooseSeall
I believe they were letting you know because you referred to her as “he”.

Men's trousers have a different cut than ladies'. Just saying. They may fit some women better, but they're tailored for male physique.

Love Eddie. Saw him live when he came through Atlanta in 2019
moniechan
He was great in Phoenix a few years back too! What a delight!
setmyselfonfire
Same, 3 hours with an intermission. Eddie is a machine of comedy.
TopherBirth
At one point in time and location they may have been called men's trousers but the society grew and moved the fuck on.

Agreed. It's absolute genius. I gotta see it again
QuickLighting53
Easily one of the best stand-up comedy shows I've ever seen. It used to be on Netflix, not sure where it is now though.
MaybeCatsOperatingInGangs
I love Dressed to Kill but The Definite Article is my top fave. I subliminal know every line because I'd fall asleep to the cassette!
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
Seconded. DA is also good.
MaybeCatsOperatingInGangs
Love your username
QuickLighting53
Is that one on any streaming sites?
MaybeCatsOperatingInGangs
It's on prime in USA, and illegally on 123movies!
chewybacon
So much this.
RolandLovecraft
First time I saw Eddie I came home at like 2am tripping balls and caught most of Dress To Kill. It was phenomenal. La snag es su la branch.
RosencrantzNGuildensternNeverLived
La sange e sur la branche, I think. Quebec? Help?

Haha I was drunk as shit in the dorms almost blacked out. I kept asking "who is this?!" Repeatedly while cackling. I was painfully obnoxious

But men's clothing has pockets...
PrincessBride1
I have dresses with pockets. They do exist. Love online shopping for making them easier to find.
VinnieJonesDiary
I just bought an amazing skirt, with big ol'pockets and I'm definitely a man... So I guess that proves your point!
Asadsadsadclown
Shhhh don't tell the women that or they will buy our clothes and the clothing companies will take away our pockets too!
ADDGirl
I'm already buying pants with bigger pockets, that happen to be sold in the men's department. Then I wear them & they become women's pants!
Asadsadsadclown
SybilCrawley
I wear men's jeans because their sizing is so straight forward. 30×32 is always the same no matter what the brand is, unlike womens'
PrincessBride1
Too late. I'm already a woman who buys men's pants. Also you have shorts/pants with an extra pocket perfect for a bottle of water.
Slimewire
Right? There ARE women's trousers and they sort of suck...but men's don't accommodate the booty. So. :(
Snowpossum
I'm a man with a pretty rounded ass, they sell them but the limitation has definitely has altered my style over the years. >
Snowpossum
I switched to drawstring pants eventually.
Slimewire
That's a shame. A nice booty is a nice thing. :)
PrincessBride1
Honey you want to look for relaxed fit and they'll fit your booty.
SybilCrawley
Idk why more men don't wear skirts and dresses. I think it would work well with their plumbing if ya know what I mean.
thealienwarrior
Viva la Kilt!!!
VinnieJonesDiary
I just got an amazing skirt for myself and couldn't be more pleased with it, it goes SSWooSH when I spin in it.
APerfectlyNormalPieceOfToast
Honestly because the cut & patterns of clothes designed for women can look odd on a standard male body type. The angles don't line up right.
SybilCrawley
Women's clothing doesn't even fit most women correctly either, so I get it
prufock
Do people really still say "trousers"?
Lulabel73
In Australia we do but that’s for a specific style.
SamJayFace
People? No. Brits? Yes.
JPBStory
As a Brit I can confirm...both that I say trousers and that we don't count as "people".
thealienwarrior
They are trousers. "Pants" are worn underneath and are much smaller. Now don't get me started on "fanny"
zxwaffen
wait wait.. what do the British call a fanny pack? Because that definitely has different meanings.
thealienwarrior
It's a bum bag.
prufock
Well what do they call a handkerchief tied to a stick?
thealienwarrior
A hankachief tied on a stick. If you are talking about those carried by unfortunates, believe it is a bindle? Not a British thing.
TheVakarian
I mean they’re women’s dresses now aren’t they.
DapperDeal
Is a sledgehammer a man's sledgehammer because it's targeted towards men and mostly bought by men? or is it just a sledgehammer?
DapperDeal
I get what you are saying because they would be found in the "women" section of a website but he has a good point as well. It's just a dress
Mou5e
He's saying that because Eddie switched to entirely female pronouns last year, but thanks for playing.
TheVakarian
*ding ding ding* And show 'em what they've won Vana!
DapperDeal
"now aren't they" can be read in two ways but you might be right. I forgot Eddie did that.
dedpaen
Wow! This needs to be upvoted. I never thought about saying that phrase “women’s dresses” like that before.

jimmyhowlett
I find it crazy that we stopped rendering policeman and such but decided to gender hair styles. The bun has excepted forever.
jimmyhowlett
Gendering* ffs I'm sure police officers can be rendered just fine
OnlyPositiveFavourites
One commedian put it this way (paraphrased) 'we make such a fuss over whether a person's legs are enclosed in one circle of fabric or two'
Nakahana
Mine are in 4. Leggings AND jeans.....its cold
TrynaHelp
Using the term 'male nurse' is reinforcing that job is for women when it's not. Similar thing
TheZacAttack
So, you're probably right, especially in today's terms, but it has always been distinguished, ancient Rome had a distinct term for male 1/?
TheZacAttack
nurses (also I think for female doctors too) and the position was considered honorable without out today's kind of stigma. The reason for 2/
TheZacAttack
the distinction was because they served different roles, which is still kinda applicable today, make nurses are much more likely to be 3/

laurenlena1
Billy Corgan wore a lot of dresses. I was a huge SP fan in the 90s
proxykalevra
In everyone's defense clothes are tailored for the expected wearer and trust me men's and women's pants have subtle but important /1
Mindshard
In my early 20s I worked for a company with a uniform. We'd order women's polo shirts because they were fitted and a nicer material.
proxykalevra
Differences. Try on a pair of women's jeans and youlld find they don't fit great if you have a penis between your legs. That being said /2
Nakahana
I wear woman's Jean's. So snug.
proxykalevra
The real question I have is does eddie get men's tailored dress or have them tailored to fit or are they actually just /3
proxykalevra
Dresses off the rack tailored to fit a woman the same general size as eddie?
OnlyPositiveFavourites
I'm almost 100% sure that either way every thing she wears is tailored to fit her. She looks faaaabulous in anything!
Kvothefefe
Does Eddie actually buy the dresses, or does she claim them with a cunning use of flags?
zephyrbell
He doesn't use the she pronoun. He's a man who likes to wear dresses.
zephyrbell
Whelp, I guess I'm wrong and he's changed his mind to be whatever pronoun he's feeling at the time.

laurenlena1
Her 2000 standup routine might be one of the funniest stand ups I’ve ever seen in my life.
chimchim666
had the pleasure of seeing her live in Wellington a few years ago. Afterwards felt light and pure and sugar-high. She is amazing.
laurenlena1
I saw her in Chicago in about 10 years ago. Brilliant!

She offers the shop assistant cake or death

I was going to say does she claim them as a business expense

I claim this dress for Britain.

I love Eddie does she prefer to be called a she now? I'm not up to date with the dude.
Kvothefefe
Yes, but she's not picky
helloNFQ
Wild that that site uses "they" right there only 5 words away.
Wrenfield
I love Eddie's stuff and legitimately feel bad that I didn't know this.
RolandLovecraft
I dont think he identifies as she. I used to watch a lot of his comedy and I always thought he was like “I’m a bloke who wears a dress.”

Yep. He's an action transvestite. Running up trees, putting on makeup while you're up there.

I need your show proposal and season structure on my desk by next week.
tyrunn
Nope she's come out as transgender
Quewen
So she has! My mistook

It was very recent, and by Eddie's own admission it was as much a thing of "For most of my life I didn't realize that was a thing"
Kvothefefe
LateNightBunnyParty
She looks like the sweet lady who's worked the Taco Bell drive-thru window for the last 15 years. I love Eddie Izzard.
zephyrbell
This doesn't make sense compared to everything he's said before.
Harsamina
Almost like people don't stop growing, changing, or actualizing themselves. It doesn't need to make sense to you, anyway. You're not her.
zephyrbell
It's almost like you didn't see the other comment where I said I looked it up and I was wrong.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Strange. I've never known a human to change. They're predominantly static creatures. Born babies and never age.
zephyrbell
Right after I made this comment, I put another one retracting it and admitting my mistake. But thanks I guess.
WoeToHice
Off topic: Nice username, even if it makes my blood boil by combining two things that piss me off ;)
Kvothefefe
I'm kinda with you on that, actually. All I can say is it was funnier to me when I originally came up with it.
NotAPervert
What’s the two things?
AbedwouldifheCould
I bet you’d want to know @NotAPervert
WoeToHice
Covfefe is a Trump thing. Kvothe is the protagonist of the Kingkiller Chronicles by Pat Rothfuss. Trump and Rothfuss piss me off, for (1/2)
leadenjerry
The missing part of the Kingkiller Trilogy and Trump would be my guess
Ktigre
I'm guessing Trump and the fact that we're still waiting for book 3 of the kingkiller chronicle series.
Iambaker
Looks like it's a mix of the main character in The King Killer Chronicles Kvothe and covfefe, a misspelling of coffee made by Trump.
laurenlena1
She does now. I think she made the announcement last year.
DrasticBastard
I want to be a lesbian, but as a straight man I’m not invited to the party. The dresses aren’t helping.
MLGsamantha
Are you sure you're not a lesbian? Maybe you ought to try on some dresses to see how they fit.
DrasticBastard
Like shit, I have no hips.l and my erection gives me away.
palmo
At least you're a cunt.
skipsh2
I always got the impression she didn't care, and I wonder if she does now or if she felt that her taking this stance allows her to talk more
skipsh2
About how she feels about trans rights and gender identity.
yarnmonger
Possible - equally possible she's just changed her mind. Gender is sometimes not static!
skipsh2
Very true. It doesn't make much difference either way. Just musing aloud.
yarnmonger
I do love a good musing!
daisy73
Recently has said wants to be referred to as she. Last month maybe.
lwoshea
I did not know that. Thank you.
ControversialLeftistLesbian
She is fluid I do believe so the pronouns can change given whatever "mode" she is in.
RolandLovecraft
Yea, just looked it up. Dec she said she would like to be addressed as a woman. In 2019 she said “he” when I’m in boy mode. “She” in girl md
daisy73
awesome regardless!
WoeToHice
Genuine question, because it's something I don't understand yet: is this what "genderfluid" means? Or does "genderfluid" refer to sth else?
ZombieCoffeeCup
This is basically genderfluid, yeah!
MassiveMaoMao
Well I’ll be damned, yup that’s true. I learned something new today.
CuteKittenMonster
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Izzard Its written that she is genderfluid and newly only wants to be refered as female.
