Oh Eddie! It is SO nice to see and hear you again. Thank you for your words!

A brilliant comic, true humanitarian, and a great social commentator. I never once cared what Eddie wore while performing for a couple of reasons: whether it was a suit or a dress, Eddie always looked great, and it had no effect from the brilliance of his performance. Eddie is Eddie, simple as that.

Thank-you for sharing who you are with the world Eddie, we love you!

Suzy you are a beautiful person. And a great positive inspiration. I live in the uk and am 62. In the last couple of years, i discovered myself to be Agender. I was born with female body parts. So for 60 years was made ( by society, school etc) to feel like i had to be a female, solely because of the body parts i was born with. But when i was 60, i realised, for me, i don't identify as any gender. And that gives me so much peace. You being your true self, inspires me to be my true self. Nature bless you.

Ah, if I could go back to the first time I saw an Eddie Izzard show, over 15 years ago... What a magical moment that was. I never knew such comedy could exist. Then I discovered so much more. Never ceases to surprise, amaze and entertain me. An inspiration to all humans.

I have Adored you Eddie, as my favorite person on the Planet since “cake or Death” 🥰🥰🥰

Eddie came out AND CARRIED ON! And Eddie is a running machine! If I could, I would vote for her! The SAS wishes that they were Eddie.

As someone who grew up in Utah, I’m impressed.

As a grandmother and mother of two boys I suggest you look at your child’s genitalia as they’re probably sexuality rather than letting them decide :-) there is a chance that one of your children might be gay but seeing at the proliferation of Katom going on these days it definitely surpasses the rather small percentage of children that are actually gay god bless as a grandmother just making a suggestionYou love them no matter what but if you’re straight embrace it embrace who they are as a person they’ll make their own decisions when they get to that point you don’t need to be asking him hey do you want a dress or a pair of pants hey do you like Barbie or do you like trucks just let them go their way try to stay out of it God bless America

I remember vividly M&D telling me and I was like oh really? Ok, cool. But I was fortunate enough to have been brought up around the LGBTQ community & people of all colour, so I knew no different. Anyway, I waffle on I’m sorry. You GO Eddie! So proud of you, and thank you for being so informative in such a relatable & empowering way🥰🙋‍♀️💞👏

Actually, you might be happy to know that gender was not so black and white in ancient times.Circa 3000 BCE, The Sumerian goddess Inanna could change a person's gender at will, and many trans and non-binary people worked in her temples because they were considered sacred. Many human/hybrid animal apkallu (from the Akkadian period after Sumeria, but often mistakenly called "genies" in American museums) are depicted wearing both men and women's clothing at the same time to demonstrate how the gods embraced all of humanity, not one gender over another, even though androcentrism was on the increase at that time. I cover all this and more in my book, Pitilless Bronze: A Postpatriarchal Examination of Prepatriarchal Cultures.

Always loved Eddie, and find her perception about life interesting. I think she'd make an interesting politician, if I were still living in the UK, I'd definitely vote for Eddie.
