Even Eddie Izzard hesitates on Scotland's gender bill (UnHerd)

I don't know if the candidates to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as leader of the SNP have had time to consult Eddie Izzard. But the comedian has entered one of ...

As is being made to imagine other people’s genitals, a mental image that transgender activists insist on inflicting upon the rest of us. That may not be the worst form of sexual assault, but it is a form. Izzard’s belief that human beings can identify in and out of sex at will is hugely damaging to women — and it isn’t ‘transphobic’ to say so. Why else would anyone object to a man who insists on using women’s toilets and telling us he is in ‘girl mode’?) But his take on the GRR bill was unexpected, consisting of an admission that the length of time people should wait before changing their legal gender was a “tricky question”. It must be hard for Izzard and anyone else with political ambitions to keep up: the Labour leadership at Westminster is [desperate](https://unherd.com/2023/01/starmer-isnt-working-for-women/) not to be accused of ‘transphobia’ but the Scottish legislation was a step too far even for them. This time last year, Dodds attracted disbelief with a woeful [performance](https://womansplaceuk.org/2022/03/08/anneliese-dodds-on-womans-hour/) on Woman’s Hour on International Women’s Day, when she couldn’t give a straight answer to the question “what is a woman?” But then Izzard is hardly a deep thinker on the subject, telling Forde he doesn’t know how many genders there are: “We’re all somewhere on the spectrum, we have just got to chill out about it,” he announced airily. Izzard can’t get through an interview without revealing his extraordinary self-regard, challenging Forde’s assumption that even if he were to be elected to Parliament, he would find himself on the backbenches. “Do I have to be backbench?” he demurred. Most Labour MPs abstained in a vote at Westminster on the UK Government’s [veto](https://time.com/6250646/united-kingdom-scotland-transgender-bill/) of the legislation, with only a handful voting against. I’m not sure that many women who criticised the bill will feel like taking lessons from Izzard on what is or isn’t ‘transphobic’, but it seems as though something is changing. I don’t know if the candidates to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as leader of the SNP have had time to consult Eddie Izzard.
