So, people can choose what they want.

They cant make a mistake.

They cant go wrong with me.

For years, Izzard thought that she couldnt change the name shed started her career with.

Even after going by she/her pronouns, the switch to a name shed wanted for years felt too difficult.

But then she looked at her passport, which read Edward, a name she never uses.

Izzard came out as trans/genderfluid in 1985, and began professionally using she/her pronouns in 2020.

She is currently gearing up to stand for election in 2024.
