Labor MP Rosie Duffield has announced that she will not refer to Eddie Izzard as a woman.
The comedian, who is running for Labor MP, announced his decision to use the pronouns ‘she/her’ two years ago.
Ms Duffield, 51, railed against the idea of ”gender self-identification” in London on Friday at the conference of the LGB Alliance, a campaigning group that advocates for lesbian, gay and bisexual people.

MP Rosie Duffield, 51, railed against the idea of “gender self-identification” at the LGB Alliance conference.
When asked about the possibility of wrongly gendering someone, she said: “Is this a serious thing? Is this going to Parliament soon? I hope not, because you might as well arrest me now. I don’t call Eddie Izzard a woman.”
Izzard, 60, announced two weeks ago that he would stand for Labor in the Sheffield Central constituency in the next general election.
Ms Duffield said she was a “persona non grata” in the Labor Party and urged leader Sir Keir Starmer to have a “proper debate” on the issue.
