British actor and comedian Eddie Izzard now will use 'She' and 'Her' pronouns


British actor and comedian Eddie Izzard declared that she will use the pronouns “she” and “her” from now on.

“This is the first program I’ve asked if I can be ‘she’ and ‘her,” the “Ocean’s Twelve” and “Ocean’s Thirteen” actor said in a clip of Sky Arts’ “Portrait Artist of the Year” posted Sunday. “This is a little transition period.”

Izzard, one of the portrait subjects of the show, added that “it feels great because people just assume that they just know me from before ... but I’m gender fluid. I just want to be based in girl mode from now on.”

He has the right to call himself whatever he wants.

He doesn't have the right to demand others do the same.

He can call himself a woman and I have every right to completely ignore it.

His rights and preferences don't trump mine.

I really don't care. Eddie was fun in a lot of movies and had good stand up. That's probably the only interaction any of us will have. Calling Eddie him, her, etc... wont matter in the end.
