I try to do things that I think are interesting, and this is the first programme I’ve asked if I can be she and her. The transition period. - Suzy Eddie Izzard

[On proposed gender self-id reforms and women-only spaces] I don't have all the answers [...] I happen to be trans. All I can do is say how it is for me. I can't come in and wave a magic wand and solve all the problems, because some people are very entrenched.

I was walking past a building site in Liverpool and a brickie shouted at me from the scaffolding, 'Hey Eddie, where's your lippie?' I said I'd left it at home, and he replied: 'Wanna borrow mine?' Moments like that make everything worthwhile.

Relationships with me are tricky. You've got to be a woman who's very self-confident about your own sexuality to go out with me.
