Politico reporter that Eddie then added: ‘That’s how I’m going to roll, so people can choose what they want. They can’t make a mistake, they can’t go wrong.’
Eddie previously said to Huffington Post: ‘I spent 50 years predominantly in boy mode, so let’s try the next 50 in girl mode.
‘It’s just a language adjustment. And no one should get het up about it.
‘I’m still gender fluid and I tell everyone that’s supported me, “Relax people, he or she, it doesn’t really matter.” The pronoun thing isn’t the important thing, the important thing was coming out [as trans] back in 1985, that was the tough time.’
Eddie calls herself ‘somewhat boy-ish and somewhat girl-ish’. She uses the word ‘transgender’ as an umbrella term.
She became famous as a comedian who cross-dressed, but now identifies as a gender-fluid trans woman.
Eddie announced two years ago that she would prefer female pronouns and intends to be ‘based in girl mode from now on’.
