It is no longer easy to tell when a comedian is joking. Consider Eddie Izzard, who says his name is now Suzy Eddie Izzard:

The actor-comedian revealed the name change during an appearance on “The Political Party” podcast. While reflecting on her [sic] relationship with pronouns, Izzard told host Matt Forde that she’s [sic] altering her [sic] name to better encompass her [sic] transgender identity.

This isn’t Izzard’s first gender reveal:

During an appearance on Sky Arts’ “Portrait Artist of the Year” in December 2020, Izzard announced that she [sic] is exclusively using she/her pronouns.

Obviously, if these pronouns applied to him, he wouldn’t have to announce them.

Says Izzard,

“I’m genderfluid. I just want to be based in girl mode from now on.”

The guy is a professional clown, so hopefully this is all a joke. But just to be on the safe side, you had better not laugh, lest you get canceled for transphobia. Not that hyperpolitical establishment comedians are funny anyway.
