The Daily Mirror newspaper reports that Eddie Izzard, who has identified as a transvestite for many years, has earned acclaim from all parts of the LGBTQ spectrum when a new programme in which she participated saw female pronounes used for her. The actor and stand up comic was appearing on a programme for Sky Arts Channel, in which amateur painters compete to paint a likeness of the star. Wikipedia adds Izzard is genderfluid and calls herself "somewhat boy-ish and somewhat girl-ish". She uses transgender as an umbrella term. When asked what pronouns she prefers, Izzard said "either 'he' or 'she.'" In December 2020, Izzard stated a preference for "she" and "her" exclusively.
