Eddie is so perfectly comfortable with himself and strong in character. Obviously he has found all things "male or female" fascinating and that makes perfect sense.
@Bethnal Green yeah, you can't stand behind both of those arguments. Either the two genders are different and that is why some folks shift from one to another, or they aren't different at all. Pro tip, it's the former, not the latter.
All things male or female will always be fascinating but, outside of a minuscule minority, a bloke is never going to look anything but ridiculous in a skirt or heels. Aesthetically you understand.
I have to admit i was a tad disappointed when eddie came out as transgender tbh (not because i have an issue with him being trans at all) but i found him crazy strong as a person to be like “fuck labels, imma do what i want to do” and he wore heels and a suit or painted his nails and wore makeup, or did an entire special in a dress. It almost felt like him defining it was excuse, rather than just being who he wanted with no rules. I love and support eddie no matter what he wants to do - he is brilliant, insanely strong person, and has a rapier wit. Eddie can do anything
I don’t understand where he’s coming from because it is foreign to me. But I have such admiration for Eddie. He’s such an interesting, intelligent and well spoken, and beautiful person. What a great person to have Joe!

Highly competent, successful people are still subject to frailty, self-delusion, and madness. Even very smart people can be profoundly wrong about any number of things.
Absolutely agree that people of lesser character are the ones that bully 'unusual' people. You can tell the ones that have their shit together, because their character has the mitigating features that stop them from bullying people. That's not to say that people who aren't bullies have their shit together. Bullies have inappropriately high levels of self-confidence.
@@ViceroyoftheDiptera nothing complicated about it, he was born male, thats a genetic fact. if he wakes up one day and decides he feels more femenine and wants to wear womens clothes then he has the freedom to do so, but he is still genetically male.

Nothing wrong with enjoying life and embracing your feminine or masculine side depending on your internal “wiring”. Keep doing your thing Eddie! Keep fighting and performing!
My username is from an Eddie stand up, this man has greatly influenced my life - most notably to not be afraid of who you are. For those who are just discovering Eddie for the first time because of Rogan and are fans of stand up - Dressed to Kill is one of the all time greats and my favorite!
What's great about that performance is that it takes place in San Francisco. And you'd think that this city would be with him but not really. Eddie rolls with the punches so well! That's even more hilarious!
punchinthebracket one of my fav stand ups. But it’s highly disturbing that now he is a transgender?!?? He was always a transvetite. Pandering. I expected more from him. He must be trying to get back in the spotlight. Dresses to kill was in 1999.
The thing is - if you watch his comedy specials new/old - you stop caring, and focus on his comedy which is great. which truly defines him. his great sense of comedy and sarcasm.
You do however pause for a second when he starts going "great football players, men and women, mathematicians (!).. men and women". And realize he's bonkers. And going into politics. Clearly, Parliament is in desperate need of this fella', and his unique expertise.
When I was younger I saw one of his stand up sets on either tv or early RUclips and at the time I was getting into Monty python. I always thought he was just doing a bit. Like I thought all British comedians just dress up as lady cause it’s funny seeing a guy with a beard in a dress.
Joe Rogan: If you were just talking...if you didn’t have makeup on or the heels and nails you just seem male. Eddie: Yeah... I just think it’s genetically inbuilt. Science: I concur.

Jimie likes to pretend he was actually apart of these videos by inserting himself in there after the fact. You should see all of his “Jimie: “ comments in those angry Hitler video memes.
I would pay good money to see a calm, friendly discussion between Eddie and Jordan Peterson about modern trans issues. I suspect they have more common ground than one might initially expect.
Yeah, because JBP’s ideas are so ephemeral that he could effectively say anything at this point and later correct it to its own opposite with his favourite catchphrase “that’s noot what I mint dammit”.
@@nonegiven2830 Yes, but you literally described the opposite of "coming out". But he said he came out 34 years ago. But he always called himself a "bloke in a dress". He can't be "out" since 34 years and at the same time "not being out" and still called himself "a bloke in a dress" for all those years. He is very unspecific in this interview.
@@ViolentFEAR what if I told you like isn't an binary system? Izzard could have come out to their family and friends but then in public just described themselves as "a bloke in a dress" for an easier life. just because someone "comes out" doesn't mean they have to tell everyone they meet. In fact, I've a load of friends who are out and I certainly wouldn't introduce them as such, outing other people is a fairly shitty thing to do.
@@cyanideandfiberglass5475 have we met before? do you know how I normally form thoughts and conclusions? sorry if I've forgotten you, you should try being more memorable. My point was, people can come out to family but not necessarily to everyone else. I know plenty of people who are openly gay in their friendship groups but won't hold hands with their lovers in public because there are still shitbags out there. How is that "warping the definition of language"?
Respect for Eddie I don’t particularly understand this lifestyle myself, but I can appreciate how real the struggle must be. Props for putting yourself out there unfiltered with confidence. The world needs more of that.
There's nothing to understand...the fact that you said that means you are part of the problem of irrationality and stupidity in the culture...beyond basic human rights, these "people" are fucking ridiculous, and that's a scientific fact...are you actually now gonna say 1+1=3, and that's just an opinion...you don't understand it??? 😂😂😂

This guy is refreshing. Not about sticking it in your face, depicts multiple ideologies very accurately. And doesn’t bunch people up as if the world is against him
You know, if I sit down and think about it, I must be transgender. I'm a woman who is a crazed fan of both genders, identifying with men and women at different times for different reasons. I felt this way so often and so strongly when I was younger I thought of myself as a third sex. Now I just think of myself as a well rounded woman. Isn't that the goal though? The goal of life? Empathy and fandom?
Well that certainly doesn't sound very cis. From your description it sounds like non-binary, gender-fluid, and bigender are identities you might want to look into and see if you relate to them. Good luck!
Same but opposite on my end. I'm a male, very strong genes, I'm plenty athletic and built well, but raised by my mother and we were just close and open. We talk a lot. I express myself freely. I don't repress. I refuse. That just leads to violence. I believe men need to be freed in society to be more expressive. The loving, silly, goofy, cuddly parts of men need to be seen. And as a result I am becoming a well rounded MALE. so same but opposite and I've come to this conclusion that there IS a balance in all of us. And the only reason we have sexes is just to propagate the species. But emotions and thought etc should be more fluid. Men can and should feel. Men can and should cry. And men that do also shows that we have positive intentions with others. To protect that which we love. My experience with psilocybin healed all the toxic childhood masculinity crap thrown at me about not crying, I get why they were doing it, to protect me, but we all have to be focused on the ways to express oursleves not to repress the emotions completely. A time and a place if you will, and being more private with someone but still being free and honest with yourself and our loved ones. Repression leads to lies and deceit sometimes as well and makes relationships fracture and fail. Never keep a man from expressing his thoughts and he will (if he's mature and in his right mind) see that and be so respected by it, he will rise to serve his loved ones even more. If you make men actual feel loved and appreciated and HEARD, that man will move mountains
Bryan there’s 250 countries playing football with 3.5 billion fans that would disagree with you ,,, how many countries play your sports ?? Oh yeah just 1 😂😂😂, your world champions but only play yourselves... that makes sense
I’m a transgender woman. I’m not confused and I transitioned 8 years ago and haven’t looked back since. Some people see the world in black and white and choose to remain ignorant on science and factual information. I don’t blame them tho, “ignorance is bliss” as they say. I would just say, don’t be an asshole. Do your best to treat others as you would like to be treated. P.s. Check out my Instagram and follow me if you have time. ^_^ P.s.s. I use to do acting in LA and actually being trans is quite a hot topic and commodity in LA. I had a good amount of casting calls....or at least I think I did 😅 Www.instagram.com/latinakamilla
It's called a transvestite and yes that's what he has always been even admitting that's what he was but now transgender is popular so he is that now. So pathetic.
@010010000101 010100101 genetic engineering has nothing to do with transgender people. If anything one day we'll be able to figure out exactly why people are transgender and sort that out before birth.
As a trans person I actually see where you're coming from with some of what you wrote, but I don't think a small minority of people being transgender is the cause of all that, nor should we be solely blamed for the possible end of human civilization. Either none of us or all of us would be to blame for that.
so far as i understand, considering eddie izzard now wants to be referred as 'she', it'd mean she's a lesbian... ... or a bisexual... well anyways : "shaved her legs, and then he is a she", as lou reed would have said...
@@caro2233 Always claimed to be a lesbian in a man's body. Even before the surge in popularity (or visibility) of transgenderism. Of the many cases of this Eddie's is one that makes more sense than many. Thought through over many years rather than just decided on at 12 or 13 because of fear of homophobic bullying or the like
@@gm9460 i remember that from watching his shows from the 90s... 'executive transvestite'... i just feel that 'transvestite' suited him better. or actually it made more sense to me. i understand 'transgender' as having a sex change. but i'm probably wrong. there are so many new names that i've just gotten confused. transvestite, transgender, binary, non-binary, ...... i don't get it no more. ^^
@@caro2233 Understood. I don't get it anymore either. However I am sure I saw somewhere that the majority of transgender people don't go as far as "bottom surgery". Costs involved being a major thing
It's the way Eddie tells a story. He plays characters in every joke. You could listen for hours. Most versatile actor/comedian of our time. I remember watching his specials on VHS in an unmarked box.
Omg its him, as kid I thought that scene was so cool. I thought disco was gay but that scene made him look bad ass. Making me change my stereo typical ideas... though he won't change my mind on this
Building muscle mass is the only thing specifically masculine or feminine?! Ummmm giving birth is pretty specifically female. I can think of others, but that hits you in the face.
This is my confusion: -'There's no basic difference between men and women' -'I wanted to embrace my feminine side' That's a contradiction; there's a basic difference, the role in reproduction.
I remember watching a show back in the UK where Eddie ran a marathon every day for like a month...no prior training etc. Doctors thought it wasn't the best idea but he smashed it! Seriously inspirational.
She's doing it again this month! It's called A Run For Hope, livestreaming every day from 12 noon GMT (7am to all you guys on EST). She is then doing a stand up show at the end of each marathon from 7pm GMT (2pm EST) until January 31st.
To be fair, Conover also asked Joe Rogan (and by extension the community that listens to him) to go and speak to actual Trans people. So he was kind of right in the end.
youngskeletor But why? Joe basically supports trans people. He just doesn’t think that biological males should be allowed to compete against biological females.
When Eddie says "if a tiger is attacking you we don't care if it's male or female and the tigers don't care either" this is true because both male and female tigers can kill us, but tigers do care. Wild animals care greatly if something is female or not if they want't to survive. For example this is very obvious in lions. A whole pack of female lions do not impose as much fear as a single male lion. There are videos of of 5 or 6 female lions being harassed by hyenas and circled until a male shows up and everyone scatters. Animals care very much.
He's right in that the hyena's don't think 'here's a male, time to gtfoh', they instinctually know that kind of lion is more likely to fuck you up if you mess with it. They'll certainly attack a weakened male, it's about picking the right fight for scavengers and nothing to do with gender.
Agreed. Minus the distress part.. since you have no control over what people choose to be distressed about. You could have two neighbors. One hates red houses.. so you can't paint your house red or it will distress him. The other hates any color house other than red... so now what?... just sayin =P
@@weeral1 the distress part refers to threats of violence that kind of thing ie to cause great pain, anxiety, or sorrow; acute physical or mental suffering; affliction; trouble.
@@bobmcbobbington9220 the house colour example is not distress Unless the house was painted red in an attempt to cause the other person pain and suffering. The distress has nothing to do with perception and is the reason why it is one of the hardest things to prove in a court of law because normally there is no physical damage. Just being offended or then skinned does not come under distress
What Eddie Izzard admits without realizing it, is that their gender is based on how they look on the outside... and that means heels, makeup, hair, or male clothing when in "boy mode" as Eddit puts it... but what Eddie doesn't realize is that these are western perceptions of what is male and female. For example, in some tribes of Africa, women are bald... so when transgenders say they feel depressed and suicidal because they can't express themselves, what they really mean is they feel depressed not because of biological reasons, but because they want to appear a certain way in this current society that they live in. To feel happy wearing heels and long hair and lipstick doesn't mean they are now expressing their biology, they are feeling happy because psychologically they are fitting into a brainwashing. This tells me that transgenderism isn't genetic, but learned behavior from early childhood... because had this person been in a tribe in Africa for example, they would feel better if they were bald... all learned behavior.
@sour airhead I think you are extremely confused about what I wrote... You may want to read it again more carefully. I won't respond to you any more negatively than that... But yes you are correct that they don't walk around pretending to be men or masculine... that supports my point. All I can say is read carefully next time, and you might find that the points are thought out better than you assume. If you still don't understand, then I will be happy to clarify or explain better.
It is definitely a psychological response to societal norms that is for sure. Thats actually a really good way of describing how gender can vary from culture to culture. One thing though, is that it is still REALLY up in the air how genetics and hormones and biological factors can effect someones psychology, so I might be a bit hesitant to hand wave it as learned behavior.
@@36shadowboy I agree that hormones and other biological factors can play a role in emotional responses. More estrogen, perhaps more feminine traits, more testosterone, more masculine traits, more oxytocin more friendly/loving/empathetic, etc. While we are on the topic of this, another topic about sexuality and how psychology and societal norms can effect biology: For example just until the turn of the century, binding women's feet in China so they were deformed and mangled was considered highly attractive. Men would have real biological/physiological responses to the sight of those "bound" feet... yet that response isn't genetic in any way. Or in Greek times, red hair was considered like blonde hair is now, in Germany in the 1800s, more robust/chubbier women were considered the most attractive, in the 60s and 70s in America it was thin women, now it is women with bigger legs and "behinds". I do believe these people were sincerely attracted to those various physical features and looks... after all, their dopamine, and serotonin, and oxytocin, and testosterone, adrenaline, etc. etc. would HAVE to change, and their blood flow would have to redistribute... So they were having very real physiological responses to very real psychological stimuli... However, in all of these cases, I think it is clear it was not genetic, but learned behavior from being raised in those time periods and cultures. We certainly do not have a genetic predisposition to being turned on by mangled/deformed/bound feet do we? In these cases, it seems the idea of sexuality is dependent on environment, but people are quick to argue that it is strictly biological because they feel that if it is biological from birth, then it legitimizes their sexual preferences and defends against any criticisms.
Wearing a dress and heels is a symbol of femininity in western culture - is that a social construct? Of course it is, just the same as any other symbols of masculinity and femininity anywhere else in the world. But that doesn’t make the symbolism any less real to people. If you are transgender and you want to be see as a women then you will use those symbols to your advantage to change the way your gender is perceived by others. Whether others think you are biologically a woman or not those symbols are still communicating that you want to be seen as a women and (respectful) people will act accordingly. If suddenly everyone started seeing you as the opposite gender to what you feel you are you’d want to do something about it to.
@@Snozkin It is definitely a social construct and symbolism is very real to people as I said, there are STRONG physiological responses to psychological stimuli. People really do sincerely feel the way they do... that shouldn't be questioned... The roles of women and men do vary as well between cultures and over times, so it isn't just physical symbolism, but also what it means to be a male or female. As far as emotions go, I think people assign black and white definitions. If a male is overly emotional, that doesn't mean he is a female, he can be an emotional male... yet now, it seems there should be a quick assumption for a young child that they are a different gender just because of something like that... You mention "feel", and I think the environment shapes feelings. Meaning you feel offended in this culture if someone burps at the dinner table, but you might feel happy if they did so in a different culture. You talk about being respectful and I agree with that as do most people. I just think there is more supporting evidence that how someone perceives the world is influenced by their environment and learned behaviors... and the depressions, anxiety, sadness, angst inside is very real, but not biological. The biological aspect does matter, because there is this line being crossed where how someone "feels" is being overly respected in a topic like sports for example. By respecting the "feelings" of one person, you undermine and destroy the integrity of the sport... some men feel they are women and so they decide to break every record in sprinting, powerlifting, and win at MMA fights... at that point, biology versus learned behavior becomes very important in the debate.
He seems like a very nice person, but I’m not sure that the only difference between men and women is that men have more muscles. We can all accept each other’s differences but let’s not pretend like science and reality doesn’t exist. It creates more pushback.
@@te9591 Eddie literally just announced she uses female pronouns but as someone who is non binary with testosterone this stuff still bugs me. He watched a trans woman explain their involvement with both genders stuff and him being a cis straight dude sees a girly man just goes "so you you're more into chick stuff?" no dude just listen please so we can get along.
@@jerradmarsan2220Eddie can choose his third person pronouns all he wants - that's just attempting to control others' speech & the rest of us have no duty to comply.
Live your life how you want. God Bless. My problem is that is pushed as a trend almost, on our kids. There are those who are genuinely trans (which are very few and far between ) and there are those who do it because it's trendy and they're pushing an agenda, which is very very common. Thats what pisses me off. Stop normalizing this . It's NOT normal

I really love Eddie. I'd call him gender fluid. He refers to himself as a Male, but likes make up and such. Eddie is his own person and I love whatever it is
@@mickwillson3239 that is true, but he’s also platformed a lot of people like Stephen Crowder who have openly mocked individuals such as Izard. It’s refreshing to see Joe bring someone from the other side of the aisle.
I just treat people like humans. Straight, gay, trans, asexual, any culture, no one gets treated any better or any worse. Its much simpler that way for a socially awkward nerd.
I don't think Eddie is trans gender. He is comfortable with biological sex, doesn't have gender dysphoria. I'd say he's a crossdresser. Straight man who just loves women's clothing.
“Tolerance” is actually a hateful position. When your going anywhere do you enjoy the traffic or do you “tolerate” it? Do you “tolerate” work because it pays your bills? Do you tolerate queuing in shops? Do you “tolerate” or enjoy you knobhead family member because it’s Christmas?
@@totallybored5526 That's just silly. You may even like someone but they might still do or say things you don't agree. And so you tolerate them. Conflating the two is ridiculous.
yeah i realized that also occurs to me it is QUITE an important word. intolerance and insensitivity are treated as the same thing so often. intolerance CANNOT be unintentional
Here’s my take on trans; They are people Should be treated as such, Only judged by the content of their character I don’t want to be “that” guy when history shows that people should have been loved and treated fairly all along.
100%, but I worry society may be ignoring their mental issues that are contributing to this. Putting people in danger in the name of 'compassion'. The research is conflicting, but their suicide and mental disease rates are disturbing. Is it correlation or causation? thats the question
Oh yeah Oh yeah really? You've never seen two male cats or dogs humping? May not be homosexual but definately homosexual activity. Animals do it with carnal instincts, what makes you think humans don't have that same carnal instinct? Your ignorance is stemmed from poor education (i can tell be your linguistic skills), so don't worry buddy maybe one day you'll grow up to be an intelligent being!
Biological men! Biological women!! Individuals with mental health issues who should be helped with their psychological issues not told is okay and let's cut your bits off, change your name and delude yourself into now believing you are different gender. Feminine Men Masculine women Acceptable!!
I'm pretty sure it's just because of sports and trans people obviously being able to break women's records. I don't think he really cares about trans outside of sports.
Yeah, there isn't a 'wanting to wear heels and eyeliner' gene Eddie, you're just a bloke who sometimes likes to wear things that society has deemed feminine. That doesn't make you a woman.
I've been watching Eddie Izzard for years in movies and stand up. I've seen him dressed as a man and a woman BUT I never thought he was transgender. He identified himself as a drag queen. He loved wearing woman's clothes and also men's clothes and he didn't want to be a woman or change his name. I think people are considering everything transgender now.
He has NEVER called himself a drag queen. He said that he was a transvestite. Transvestite is a word that we don't use anymore but in a way was similar in meaning to transexual now. A drag queen is a performer that dress up on stage. Being a transvestite/transexual is a everyday life situation.
Eddie never used to identify as trans. He used to identify as a man who just liked to wear women's clothes and makeup. Feels like he has just jumped on the bandwagon.
Eddie Izzard has always seemed to be a genuine fellow and truthful to himself. He's not pushing any agenda, he's just doing his own thing, I'd have a beer with him, or her, whoever decides to join.
Tigers attack because most often than not they're starving or have gone days without food, it was a silly example, you just jumped on the sex part. Man you're dumb.
@@VaultDestroyer confusion between gender/sex. Gender isnt set in dna, gender identity could have a biological component, but gender as a concept is purely socially derived and is contingent of the time and place wherein you live

Tobias Hansen accurate af!!😂
Eddie is so perfectly comfortable with himself and strong in character. Obviously he has found all things "male or female" fascinating and that makes perfect sense.
@Bethnal Green yeah, you can't stand behind both of those arguments. Either the two genders are different and that is why some folks shift from one to another, or they aren't different at all. Pro tip, it's the former, not the latter.
All things male or female will always be fascinating but, outside of a minuscule minority, a bloke is never going to look anything but ridiculous in a skirt or heels. Aesthetically you understand.
I have to admit i was a tad disappointed when eddie came out as transgender tbh (not because i have an issue with him being trans at all) but i found him crazy strong as a person to be like “fuck labels, imma do what i want to do” and he wore heels and a suit or painted his nails and wore makeup, or did an entire special in a dress. It almost felt like him defining it was excuse, rather than just being who he wanted with no rules. I love and support eddie no matter what he wants to do - he is brilliant, insanely strong person, and has a rapier wit. Eddie can do anything
he obviously isn't comfortable with himself at all if he's constantly switching between ''he'' and ''she'' etc lmao make up ur mind
I don’t understand where he’s coming from because it is foreign to me. But I have such admiration for Eddie. He’s such an interesting, intelligent and well spoken, and beautiful person. What a great person to have Joe!

The thing is - if you watch his comedy specials new/old - you stop caring, and focus on his comedy which is great. which truly defines him. his great sense of comedy and sarcasm.
You do however pause for a second when he starts going "great football players, men and women, mathematicians (!).. men and women". And realize he's bonkers. And going into politics. Clearly, Parliament is in desperate need of this fella', and his unique expertise.
When I was younger I saw one of his stand up sets on either tv or early RUclips and at the time I was getting into Monty python. I always thought he was just doing a bit. Like I thought all British comedians just dress up as lady cause it’s funny seeing a guy with a beard in a dress.
True. He is funny especially when he goes on about religion.
Ya he’s quirky, he says a lot that is off but I find him very funny. He’s a comedian and funny that’s a win in my book

You know, if I sit down and think about it, I must be transgender. I'm a woman who is a crazed fan of both genders, identifying with men and women at different times for different reasons. I felt this way so often and so strongly when I was younger I thought of myself as a third sex. Now I just think of myself as a well rounded woman. Isn't that the goal though? The goal of life? Empathy and fandom?
I love your insight!
Well that certainly doesn't sound very cis. From your description it sounds like non-binary, gender-fluid, and bigender are identities you might want to look into and see if you relate to them. Good luck!
@@mantistoboggan1503 not everything needs to be labeled. Labeling really limits things.
Same but opposite on my end. I'm a male, very strong genes, I'm plenty athletic and built well, but raised by my mother and we were just close and open. We talk a lot. I express myself freely. I don't repress. I refuse. That just leads to violence. I believe men need to be freed in society to be more expressive. The loving, silly, goofy, cuddly parts of men need to be seen. And as a result I am becoming a well rounded MALE. so same but opposite and I've come to this conclusion that there IS a balance in all of us. And the only reason we have sexes is just to propagate the species. But emotions and thought etc should be more fluid. Men can and should feel. Men can and should cry. And men that do also shows that we have positive intentions with others. To protect that which we love. My experience with psilocybin healed all the toxic childhood masculinity crap thrown at me about not crying, I get why they were doing it, to protect me, but we all have to be focused on the ways to express oursleves not to repress the emotions completely. A time and a place if you will, and being more private with someone but still being free and honest with yourself and our loved ones. Repression leads to lies and deceit sometimes as well and makes relationships fracture and fail. Never keep a man from expressing his thoughts and he will (if he's mature and in his right mind) see that and be so respected by it, he will rise to serve his loved ones even more. If you make men actual feel loved and appreciated and HEARD, that man will move mountains

Well…. No flag, no country! That’s the rule that we just made up 😅😅😅
When Eddie says "if a tiger is attacking you we don't care if it's male or female and the tigers don't care either" this is true because both male and female tigers can kill us, but tigers do care. Wild animals care greatly if something is female or not if they want't to survive. For example this is very obvious in lions. A whole pack of female lions do not impose as much fear as a single male lion. There are videos of of 5 or 6 female lions being harassed by hyenas and circled until a male shows up and everyone scatters. Animals care very much.
@Chris Injeian Women lions do the hunting because male lions can just walk in and take it.
@Chris Injeian I'm not sure the point of either of those comments. Neither of them counter what I said at all.
He's right in that the hyena's don't think 'here's a male, time to gtfoh', they instinctually know that kind of lion is more likely to fuck you up if you mess with it. They'll certainly attack a weakened male, it's about picking the right fight for scavengers and nothing to do with gender.

Agreed. Minus the distress part.. since you have no control over what people choose to be distressed about. You could have two neighbors. One hates red houses.. so you can't paint your house red or it will distress him. The other hates any color house other than red... so now what?... just sayin =P
@@weeral1 the distress part refers to threats of violence that kind of thing ie to cause great pain, anxiety, or sorrow; acute physical or mental suffering; affliction; trouble.
@@TheBinarygenius Yes, and that's all very vague and based on the perception of others...that's the point weeral1 is making.
@@bobmcbobbington9220 the house colour example is not distress Unless the house was painted red in an attempt to cause the other person pain and suffering.

@@IRISHSALTMINER61 Who are you referring to JGK? Who is the feminazi in your comment?
JGK29 shut up
What Eddie Izzard admits without realizing it, is that their gender is based on how they look on the outside... and that means heels, makeup, hair, or male clothing when in "boy mode" as Eddit puts it... but what Eddie doesn't realize is that these are western perceptions of what is male and female. For example, in some tribes of Africa, women are bald... so when transgenders say they feel depressed and suicidal because they can't express themselves, what they really mean is they feel depressed not because of biological reasons, but because they want to appear a certain way in this current society that they live in. To feel happy wearing heels and long hair and lipstick doesn't mean they are now expressing their biology, they are feeling happy because psychologically they are fitting into a brainwashing. This tells me that transgenderism isn't genetic, but learned behavior from early childhood... because had this person been in a tribe in Africa for example, they would feel better if they were bald... all learned behavior.
@sour airhead I think you are extremely confused about what I wrote... You may want to read it again more carefully. I won't respond to you any more negatively than that... But yes you are correct that they don't walk around pretending to be men or masculine... that supports my point.
All I can say is read carefully next time, and you might find that the points are thought out better than you assume. If you still don't understand, then I will be happy to clarify or explain better.
It is definitely a psychological response to societal norms that is for sure. Thats actually a really good way of describing how gender can vary from culture to culture. One thing though, is that it is still REALLY up in the air how genetics and hormones and biological factors can effect someones psychology, so I might be a bit hesitant to hand wave it as learned behavior.
@@36shadowboy I agree that hormones and other biological factors can play a role in emotional responses. More estrogen, perhaps more feminine traits, more testosterone, more masculine traits, more oxytocin more friendly/loving/empathetic, etc.
While we are on the topic of this, another topic about sexuality and how psychology and societal norms can effect biology:
For example just until the turn of the century, binding women's feet in China so they were deformed and mangled was considered highly attractive. Men would have real biological/physiological responses to the sight of those "bound" feet... yet that response isn't genetic in any way. Or in Greek times, red hair was considered like blonde hair is now, in Germany in the 1800s, more robust/chubbier women were considered the most attractive, in the 60s and 70s in America it was thin women, now it is women with bigger legs and "behinds".
I do believe these people were sincerely attracted to those various physical features and looks... after all, their dopamine, and serotonin, and oxytocin, and testosterone, adrenaline, etc. etc. would HAVE to change, and their blood flow would have to redistribute...
So they were having very real physiological responses to very real psychological stimuli...
However, in all of these cases, I think it is clear it was not genetic, but learned behavior from being raised in those time periods and cultures.
We certainly do not have a genetic predisposition to being turned on by mangled/deformed/bound feet do we?
In these cases, it seems the idea of sexuality is dependent on environment, but people are quick to argue that it is strictly biological because they feel that if it is biological from birth, then it legitimizes their sexual preferences and defends against any criticisms.
Wearing a dress and heels is a symbol of femininity in western culture - is that a social construct? Of course it is, just the same as any other symbols of masculinity and femininity anywhere else in the world. But that doesn’t make the symbolism any less real to people. If you are transgender and you want to be see as a women then you will use those symbols to your advantage to change the way your gender is perceived by others. Whether others think you are biologically a woman or not those symbols are still communicating that you want to be seen as a women and (respectful) people will act accordingly. If suddenly everyone started seeing you as the opposite gender to what you feel you are you’d want to do something about it to.
@@Snozkin It is definitely a social construct and symbolism is very real to people as I said, there are STRONG physiological responses to psychological stimuli. People really do sincerely feel the way they do... that shouldn't be questioned... The roles of women and men do vary as well between cultures and over times, so it isn't just physical symbolism, but also what it means to be a male or female. As far as emotions go, I think people assign black and white definitions. If a male is overly emotional, that doesn't mean he is a female, he can be an emotional male... yet now, it seems there should be a quick assumption for a young child that they are a different gender just because of something like that...
You mention "feel", and I think the environment shapes feelings. Meaning you feel offended in this culture if someone burps at the dinner table, but you might feel happy if they did so in a different culture. You talk about being respectful and I agree with that as do most people. I just think there is more supporting evidence that how someone perceives the world is influenced by their environment and learned behaviors... and the depressions, anxiety, sadness, angst inside is very real, but not biological.
The biological aspect does matter, because there is this line being crossed where how someone "feels" is being overly respected in a topic like sports for example. By respecting the "feelings" of one person, you undermine and destroy the integrity of the sport... some men feel they are women and so they decide to break every record in sprinting, powerlifting, and win at MMA fights... at that point, biology versus learned behavior becomes very important in the debate.

I respect this ”guy” more than Adam
Uhh umm uhh umm uhhh uhh well I'm no expert on the subject right? I have a transgender friends that tend to agree with uhh uhh uhh me
Eddie is funny and articulate who has mastered his art. that douche was a clueless prick
Well he has a tendency to ruin everything
“When you take off the lipstick, the nails, and the heels and you’re just sitting there talking, you seem like you’re male”
Absolute lad
He seems like a very nice person, but I’m not sure that the only difference between men and women is that men have more muscles. We can all accept each other’s differences but let’s not pretend like science and reality doesn’t exist. It creates more pushback.
*Eddie literally explains for minutes that they're into boy things and girl things*
Joe: "So you're gravitating more towards girl things?"
o_O
He's gravitating more towards they things?
@@te9591 Eddie literally just announced she uses female pronouns but as someone who is non binary with testosterone this stuff still bugs me. He watched a trans woman explain their involvement with both genders stuff and him being a cis straight dude sees a girly man just goes "so you you're more into chick stuff?" no dude just listen please so we can get along.
@@jerradmarsan2220Eddie can choose his third person pronouns all he wants - that's just attempting to control others' speech & the rest of us have no duty to comply.
@@jayjaydubful You're right, you do have the right to be a piece of shit. Feel free to show no basic manners Jessica, happy holidays.
He's always stoned. He's an addict and of course he's not always a full shilling.
Eddie Izzard in "boy mode" could be James Bond or a Bond villain.
Gewgulkan Suhckitt hard facts
I thought this WAS boy mode.
He kinda has though. Look to some of his dramatic roles. He's played a tough guy.
He made a great villain in "My Superhero Ex-Girlfriend".
Tony P yo
When I was a young-man I would have shit on Eddie - and today I say good on you mate - hold your head high and proud.
Live your life how you want. God Bless. My problem is that is pushed as a trend almost, on our kids. There are those who are genuinely trans (which are very few and far between ) and there are those who do it because it's trendy and they're pushing an agenda, which is very very common. Thats what pisses me off. Stop normalizing this . It's NOT normal
Exactly....
What IS 'normal'?
Raw Swisher Jesus fucking Christ I hope you're being sarcastic.
Raw Swisher 😂😂 Using that genius logic of yours where's the proof I'm not God? Where's the proof you're not an idiot? Now, as highly intellectual and 'woke' as you are maybe next time you pray to that son-of-an-alien Jesus you could ask him to bless you with the power to spell simple words correctly? Bless you, child.
Raw Swisher you sure you’re not the gay one bro lol
Hope this will spark the beginning of Joe's trans acceptance arc
This aged poorly.
I really love Eddie. I'd call him gender fluid. He refers to himself as a Male, but likes make up and such. Eddie is his own person and I love whatever it is
It’s wonderful to see Rogan host diverse voices like Izzard’s.
He has always had an extremely eclectic mix of guests.
@@mickwillson3239 that is true, but he’s also platformed a lot of people like Stephen Crowder who have openly mocked individuals such as Izard. It’s refreshing to see Joe bring someone from the other side of the aisle.
I’m happy he platforms all types of people, especially Steven crowder.
@@katelady1370 I too, believe the intellectually stunted need to be treated with fairness and dignity.
Of course! There are thousands of worse things in life than to be intellectually stunted. I’ll take a good hearted man any day over an *intellectual*
Can't even finish watching this one. Disturbing times we live in
I just treat people like humans. Straight, gay, trans, asexual, any culture, no one gets treated any better or any worse. Its much simpler that way for a socially awkward nerd.
Took years of him trashing trans people on a regular basis but Joe finally actually interviewed a trans person
@O K what facts

You nailed greencrossgarden!!!! 😃!!!!!!! Maybe it's Buffalo Bills brother??? Or sister? 😳😬
Ha, ha, ha, ha ........
Best comment ever
God: So, do you want to be a boy or a girl?
Eddie: Yes.
there's a saint named after you!
I don't think Eddie is trans gender. He is comfortable with biological sex, doesn't have gender dysphoria. I'd say he's a crossdresser. Straight man who just loves women's clothing.
Isnt quagmire's dad from family guy a vet lol
@Phil Thomas lmao right
"Tolerant" of other peoples differences was the word you were looking for.
“Tolerance” is actually a hateful position.
When your going anywhere do you enjoy the traffic or do you “tolerate” it?
Do you “tolerate” work because it pays your bills?
Do you tolerate queuing in shops?
Do you “tolerate” or enjoy you knobhead family member because it’s Christmas?
@@totallybored5526 Tolerant is not a "hateful' position. Tolerant says 'You do you, I'll do me, and that's fine." Nothing hateful about it.
Tolerance is simply acceptance of things you know are wrong because you are too scared to challenge them.
@@totallybored5526 That's just silly. You may even like someone but they might still do or say things you don't agree.
And so you tolerate them.
Conflating the two is ridiculous.
yeah i realized that also
occurs to me it is QUITE an important word. intolerance and insensitivity are treated as the same thing so often. intolerance CANNOT be unintentional
Here’s my take on trans;
They are people
Should be treated as such,
Only judged by the content of their character
I don’t want to be “that” guy when history shows that people should have been loved and treated fairly all along.
100%, but I worry society may be ignoring their mental issues that are contributing to this. Putting people in danger in the name of 'compassion'. The research is conflicting, but their suicide and mental disease rates are disturbing. Is it correlation or causation? thats the question
"Tolerant" is the t word he was looking for.
That analogy about tigers and transgenders was a terrible comparison 😂
The Tigers dont care if they are Transgender lol
@@williamconnolly4095 tigers are heterosexual. idk what eddie is talking about. he is a man with lipstick and nail varnish.
He meant Nobody gives a fuck what gender the tiger is when it’s attacking you, it’s only humans you care about what gender they are when doing things
Oh yeah Oh yeah really? You've never seen two male cats or dogs humping? May not be homosexual but definately homosexual activity. Animals do it with carnal instincts, what makes you think humans don't have that same carnal instinct? Your ignorance is stemmed from poor education (i can tell be your linguistic skills), so don't worry buddy maybe one day you'll grow up to be an intelligent being!
@@gerRule behavioural sexual differentiation is seen in like all mammals as an absolute understated minimum
Joe "I agree with my guests" Rogan
Biological men!
Biological women!!
Individuals with mental health issues who should be helped with their psychological issues not told is okay and let's cut your bits off, change your name and delude yourself into now believing you are different gender.
Feminine Men
Masculine women
Acceptable!!
Exactly
Just because you know nothing on the issue, does not mean others dont either!
@@thecopercoper5533 care to elaborate?
So instead of fighting for his country, he fought to destroy his country. And hes proud of this.
Im not sure if joe is trying to be polite... but usually he's very opinionated when it comes to this topic .
T6ix Gød that’s a buff transman. I get uneasy seeing them but he’d prob knock us all out
I'm pretty sure it's just because of sports and trans people obviously being able to break women's records. I don't think he really cares about trans outside of sports.
@@heebiejeebies4625 its true because when ben Shapiro was on , joe was definitely alot more vocal and had more to say about the topic .
@@heebiejeebies4625 this man is a "trans" athlete, though.
Lukas Oh then yeah I wouldn't be surprised.
Yeah, there isn't a 'wanting to wear heels and eyeliner' gene Eddie, you're just a bloke who sometimes likes to wear things that society has deemed feminine. That doesn't make you a woman.
Thank you Evie. Women are female and Men are male. If you want to fool around with "feminine" and "masculine", fine. No one can switch their sex.
I've been watching Eddie Izzard for years in movies and stand up. I've seen him dressed as a man and a woman BUT I never thought he was transgender. He identified himself as a drag queen. He loved wearing woman's clothes and also men's clothes and he didn't want to be a woman or change his name. I think people are considering everything transgender now.
He has NEVER called himself a drag queen. He said that he was a transvestite. Transvestite is a word that we don't use anymore but in a way was similar in meaning to transexual now. A drag queen is a performer that dress up on stage. Being a transvestite/transexual is a everyday life situation.
Eddie never used to identify as trans. He used to identify as a man who just liked to wear women's clothes and makeup. Feels like he has just jumped on the bandwagon.
Eddie Izzard has always seemed to be a genuine fellow and truthful to himself. He's not pushing any agenda, he's just doing his own thing, I'd have a beer with him, or her, whoever decides to join.
yes i love this ... we are human , gender does not have to be an issue
when a tiger is attacking who cares what gender it is
Tigers attack because most often than not they're starving or have gone days without food, it was a silly example, you just jumped on the sex part. Man you're dumb.
@@thewatcheronthewall85 oh go eat a fucking hamberder
But that point is vacuous
@@katelewis536 Damn, nice word. Good point too!
he obviously cares about his gender because he's "changing" it.
What happened to just being a very feminine male and a very masculine woman. I swear
Changing your entire gender is just a huge jump across the line
you can't change your gender though. Its set in stone in your DNA. Thats why transgenderism is ridiculous.Its not real.
@@user-eg4ym7gl4y get help. I'm not being mean. Get professional help from someone that isn't going to support your disorder.
@@VaultDestroyer confusion between gender/sex. Gender isnt set in dna, gender identity could have a biological component, but gender as a concept is purely socially derived and is contingent of the time and place wherein you live
@@user-eg4ym7gl4y I have and I see the truth and what is wrong with the world and that right there is decently wrong
Sorry that makes you uncomfortable mate, but gender dysphoria is a real thing that people deal with, and some people need to present a different gender to rectify it.
I just realized (based solely on their voice alone) that eddie is the first coat villain from mystery men 😳
