She looks the same as when I was watching her stand up at a crisp 240p back in the day
He not a she, he is a transvite but still a man. According to one of his comedy specials. Has that changed?
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.

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?
How long since you last went outside, mate?

What does any of that even mean? Are you okay?

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.

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.
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.

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’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
Yes, she came out as a trans woman several years ago
Wow I didn’t know that. Good for her.
Holy shit those are great legs!
Izzard runs marathons like it’s nothing.
She does like heels.
I’ve never understood why anybody would willingly wear high heels.

Elle est une travestite executive.
Le singe est sur la branche.
Parce que
Why would anyone do anything even slightly inconvenient, just so they’d look more attractive to potential mates… Oh wait.
It helps keep your shoes in the stirrups when riding your horse.
Edit: can’t ride a house
Baba Yaga, is that you?
It’s fun and a skill showoff if you master it.
My first wife could run in high heels. I always laugh at people bagging on that scene in Jurassic World. Yes, I’ve seen it done.
If she was going out directly after work, she’d sometimes wear them in the OR. If they needed a tool from a far repository, she’d run the 1/4 mile back and forth through the hospital.
My second wife couldn’t wear heels to save her life, looks like our 11-yo daughter stumbling around on 3 inchers.
Skill issue indeed!
Oh I can do that. I’ve got 6" stilletos and my issues with them are straps and that they make me inconveniently tall

Eh… I wouldn’t recommend them for use during vigorous activity or on uneven ground. But they honestly aren’t that big of a deal for the majority of people. Around a cm of heel height is built into the vast majority of shoes. Most work boots and especially cowboy boots can have 3-4 cm of extra heel height without causing problems.
People with hyper mobile ankles or heels can be at higher risk of ankle injuries, but when people with higher mobile joints turn their ankles the sprains tend to be less severe. People with tight calves, heel spurs, hx of plantar fasciitis, or shortened Achilles can actually find high heeled shoes more comfortable than flats.
Everyone is different, just because you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in heels doesn’t mean everyone does.
Well, pumpkins, looks like it’s the age-old dilemma. Style… or substance.
Yeah but they look cool. Incredibly painful but cool.
Also it’s kind of amusing to watch people struggling in high heels from the comfort of my cushioned, flat shoes. I’m a little mean :D
Ya but they really make an ass pop! But ya what you said
Really wish we could just let people enjoy things.
I just saw her performing a one-person show of Hamlet a few days ago. Really amazing and funny. Everyone should check if she’s got a show in your area and go to it.
She (or he, back then) also translated her entire comedy routine into German and performed it to native speakers in Germany to prove that humour is not language dependent. And then translated it into Arabic and performed to native Arabic speakers (in Lebanon, I think) to continue the experiment.
French, too! Pretty damn impressive.
I saw her solo Hamlet in New York and loved it so much. As a longtime fan of the play as well as the performer, it was a great evening on both counts.
I would also recommend it as someone who always sort of enjoyed the play and Shakespeare but was never really into them. But if you’re in that category, read the little page they give out which tells you the relationships between the characters.
Well, if I had legs like that…
No shit right!!! My god they pull off those nylons!
Legs allllll the way down to the shoes
Two of them!
Yeah people will/would have legs like that
It’s the legs and heels. Damn I’m jealous.
As Cotton Hill said “Gams is gams”
that guy rocks, if anyone hasn’t seen his 43 marathons in 51 days documentary, it’s pretty great btw
Wait, they went with _Suzy?" That’s a choice that makes me feel old.
I love how the name choice is the part that makes you feel old :P something about that made me smile
Apparently they wanted to use that name since they were 10. I did a little dive on the ol Wikipedia because I was unaware about the transition. Good for her though. Izzard’s comedy has never really been my cup of tea, but I’m happy to see her being true to herself.

it’s the bees isn’t it
I like my women like I like my coffee.
I’ll be honest, I don’t think that jacket is very flattering. I’d probably take that zipper down about halfway to let the lapels lay out, better framing that way.
Waist down slays tho

Sir Elton wishes his legs looked like that.
yea those legs took some work
but run like 30+ marathons will do that

Simply an ugly jacket or one that definitely doesn’t look good with it.
I dunno, it could be worse. I think it’s more the material than the style that’s clashing with the skirt and hose. That jacket matches the shoes decently, and some folks match those as part of an overall style.
Not my kind of thing, I prefer to match jackets with pants, and prefer jackets match skirts or pants when I’m looking at fashion stuff on others. But, hey, not my outfit anyway :), Suzy can do what they’ve always done and challenge fashion and gender norms.
It’s kinda their thing the wear stuff that pushes the boundaries of both, and that goal is successful here, if that was the intent.
Yes, I agree with that. But above all, you also explain exactly what I don’t like about the outfit.
Fair enough :)
