I just have to say, I used to be a pretty big fan of his, so I’ve read plenty about him (including all the gossip) and I still don’t know what the hell happened here.
Eddie was always an autogynephile, even before the condition had that name. Autogynephiles used to call themselves transvestites/TVs or crossdressers/CDs. He was trying to get protection for autogynephilia from the leftist-globalists by
e.g. his endorsement of the EU, performing his comedy in his interpretation of the French language, and various other things. He declared himself trans after he saw that others had succeeded where he had failed, by terming themselves "lesbian trans woman", and successfully dissociating the "trans" terminology from the previously prevailing idea of a penis removal surgery performed on a self-hating homosexual man.
I collected a few clips from his comedy routines to illustrate this. I haven't been sure of which thread to put them in, but I can put some of them in now.
Eddie called himself a "TV" when he started, and had to explain that wearing a dress wasn't part of the comedy:
Eddie talks about his fascination with the military (common in autogynephiles) as a way of distinguishing himself from a gay man, and describes himself as a "male tomboy", and subsequently "male lesbian" at 0:25. He also describes himself as an "executive transvestite", not a "weirdo transvestite":
Eddie explains his motivation for cross dressing as not being attracted to himself in the mirror when he was going through puberty and saw himself as a teenage boy with acne:
Eddie has a fascination with periods and tries to portray it as him being such a good feminist, much better than the other men:
Eddie stole makeup and tries to justify his actions:
I no longer accept these justifications, we've seen many examples where the act of stealing is clearly part of the
jouissance, e.g. Sam Brinton.
I'm trying to find a few other clips, maybe people can help:
1. Back when he was doing his stand-up in France, he was interviewed and made a joke about the French word for transvestite being "travesti". These days Eddie could be quite accurately described as a travesty, so it'd be nice to find it again.
2. Not an Eddie clip, but I remember an interview with the late Paul O'Grady where the interviewer compared him to Izzard and referred to him as a transvestite. Paul rebuffed this and described himself as a drag queen, saying he only dresses as a woman for money, and said something like "A transvestite is a straight man who has a wank in the mirror wearing his Mum's knickers".
