Eddie IzzardSuzy Eddie IzzardMOS:GENDERID, WP:PRECISE, WP:COMMONNAME. Citation already in article (LA Times, 7 March 2023. "Call her Suzy: Eddie Izzard adds to her name so fans ‘can’t make a mistake’"). Quote from Izzard: “So, I’m going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard. That’s how I’m going to roll so people can choose what they want.” LesbianTiamat (She/Her) (troll/pester) 03:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I lean oppose here on the basis that Wikipedia articles generally use people's public-facing names, not private, and my reading of the L.A. Times article is that Izzard uses "Suzy Eddie" privately and "Eddie" publicly. This is seen in both Izzard's comments and the fact that the Times article continues to call her "Eddie". What I would suggest is a clearer lede, something like Suzy Eddie Izzard (/ˈɪzɑːrd/; born 7 February 1962 as Edward John "Eddie" Izzard and still known by that nickname professionally). Now, if there is newer information that she prefers "Suzy Eddie" in all contexts, then I would support. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 03:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Retracting move request. Okay, that sounds like a good lede. I'll implement it. The redirect from Suzy Eddie Izzard is already set up, and she doesn't mind which name, so whether this page is moved is unimportant. LesbianTiamat (She/Her) (troll/pester) 03:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

False category

[edit]

Being an LGBTQ activist is correct. However, the addition of being an actual LGBTQ comedian, or anything is wrong here. It needs to be removed in such places. Izzard's position on parenting very much sums up this point I raise. --185.219.93.170 (talk) 07:17, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So you're saying he can't be described as a "LGBTQ anything" (apart from an "LGBTQ activist"), because LGBTQ does not include "genderfluid"? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:08, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
