Eddie Izzard’s experiences on the streets show that society has become more accepting of transgender individuals, but there is still opposition from the extreme right. She emphasizes that trans rights are human rights and should not be pitted against women’s rights. Eddie’s latest project, a retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, features a trans woman in the lead role, highlighting the progress being made in mainstream media representation. However, Eddie also calls for an end to lazy stereotyping in LGBTQ+ casting, advocating for characters who have lives beyond their sexual orientation or gender identity.
