58-year-old comedian Eddie Izzard recently told Simon Thomas on the Life, Interrupted podcast that she knew she was trans as a young child.
Izzard said she experienced bullying after wearing girls clothes which led her to realise her gender identity: “I must have been four or five, and there was laughter, mocking.
I remember thinking, ‘That sounds pretty good to me, I’d be quite happy to be a girl, what’s going on there?’”She continued: “Your biological body [can give] different signals as to how it is in the brain, but I do feel gender-fluid.
I have got boy genetics and girl genetics, so I call it boy mode and girl mode. These may not be great phrases but I can’t think of better words.

HIV Discoverer Luc Montagnier Dead at 89
The New York Times reports.His discovery was important but not without controversy. The deadly disease that had first surfaced in 1981 and was eventually given the name of AIDS, for acquired immune deficiency syndrome, was devastating gay and bisexual men, along with certain other populations, but its cause remained mysterious for some time.Some scientists, however, suspected it was caused by a retrovirus, “a kind of germ that slips into the host cell’s DNA and takes control, in a reversal of the way viruses typically work; hence the name retro,” the Times notes.Montagnier, an expert on retroviruses, and his team at the Pasteur Institute did research in 1983 on a lymph node that had been removed from a person with AIDS.
