Eddie Izzard reveals new feminine name: ‘Wanted it since I was 10 years old’

Comedian Eddie Izzard has revealed the feminine name she’s wanted since she was 10 years old, after changing her pronouns to “she” and “her”.

Eddie Izzard has revealed her new feminine name.

Eddie Izzard has revealed her new name – admitting she has wanted to be called the moniker since the age of 10.

At a recording of The Political Party podcast this week, the British comedian and former political candidate, 61, said: “I’m gonna be Suzy Eddie Izzard.

“I’ll put Suzy there and then Eddie and then people can choose what they want and no one can go wrong,” The Sun reports.

Izzard said: “I’ve wanted to be S-U-Z-Y since I was 10.

“That’s how I’m gonna roll so people can choose what they want. They can’t make a mistake; they can’t go wrong.”

Back in December 2020, the British comedian and former political candidate, 61, was dubbed a “trailblazer” by fans when she asked to use the pronouns “she” and “her” during the filming of UK TV show, Portrait Artist Of The Year, confirming she was “gender fluid”.

But the move had been 35 years in the making. In 1985, Izzard first came out as a transvestite. In 2021, she explained to The Guardian that as far as she was concerned, being a transvestite simply meant being transgender without physically transitioning. Nowadays, she identifies as a trans woman, and wants to be “based in girl mode”.

But speaking of her pronouns, the performer admitted: “I make mistakes with my own pronouns.”

She then spoke to the podcast about political ambitions, after failing to be selected as UK Labour’s parliamentary candidate in Sheffield Central in 2022.

“I will keep going until I get in,” she said.

Previous to the TV show in late 2020, in 2019 Izzard also requested to be described as “she” while receiving an honorary degree at Swansea University.

The press release from the ceremony described the star using female pronouns with a university spokesman clarifying: “We were asked by Eddie to use her/she pronouns.”
