Essentially, Izzard has transitioned from a carefree cross-dressing comedian to a scolding trans martyr. Rather than joking about his peccadillos, nowadays he tries to co-opt the pain of others to present himself as a put-upon victim. In 2016, he gave an interview to the BBC from a nail salon in South Africa, which he ended by quoting Nelson Mandela. As he spoke about the importance of having his nails done to his trans identity, he turned to graver matters: ‘I’ve got boy genetics and girl genetics. We get obsessed by it in humanity… in Uganda they were trying to sentence people to death [for this].’
