Comedian, seeking to be next Labour MP for Sheffield Central, would not stand on such list as ‘I’m gender fluid’
Eddie Izzard has said she would not try to be selected as an MP using an all-women shortlist for the Labour party, and “isn’t sure” that transgender women should be allowed to run on them.
Izzard, 60, who became famous as a cross-dressing comedian and now identifies as a gender-fluid trans woman, has made the longlist of the open contest to become Labour’s candidate for the safe seat of Sheffield Central in the next general election.
