OHMYGOSSIP — Eddie Izzard has been praised for asking to be referred to by she/ her pronouns.
The 58-year-old comedian, who has previously spoken about being gender fluid, revealed on TV show ‘Portrait Artist of the Year’ – on which she sat as a model – that she “wants to be based in girl mode from now on”, and admitted using the pronouns feels “very positive”.
Speaking on the Sky Arts programme, The ‘Victoria & Abdul’ star said: “Well, I try to do things that I think are interesting, and this is the first programme I’ve asked if I can be she and her. The transition period.”
When asked by a competitor how she felt using the pronouns, Eddie replied: “It feels great, because people just assume that … well, they just know me from before. I’m gender fluid.
“I just want to be based in girl mode from now on.
“One life, live it well.”
Several fans of Eddie took to social media to praise her following the show.
One wrote: “Kudos to #EddieIzzard for her inspiring courage in always living her truth! (sic)”
Another posted: “I’m so glad for Eddie Izzard starting to use she/her pronouns. (sic)”
One shared: “nothing but absolute love & adoration for #EddieIzzard (sic)”
In 2019, Eddie admitted she was gender fluid and had a “boy mode and girl mode”.
She explained at the time: “I have boy mode and girl mode. I am kind of gender fluid.
“I want to express both sides of myself, which has always been there.
“I am a tomboy and tomgirl kind of person.”
In 2017, the star said: “If you are coming out as transgender or gay or lesbian, it’s such a tough rite of passage and quest.
“It assaults your senses because, back in ’85, everyone said, ‘No, no. Hide about it.’ “I just thought they were all wrong.
“The humiliation period, the initial period, is so tough. If you keep at it, it gets better.”
