He not a she, he is a transvite but still a man. According to one of his comedy specials. Has that changed?

She changed her name to Suzy and became She by preference, but he is also happy to be referred to as he or Eddie.

That's awesome, always loved her every since I watched her special Dressed to Kill on HBO when I was a teen. Was the first show I bought digitally on Amazon long ago too.

She prefers she but understands that not everyone would know that/ knows her as he/Eddie and isn't too hung up on it

(My interpretation of the reason added but she really doesn't seem too bothered if people do call her Eddie)

I've never understood why anybody would willingly wear high heels.

Why would anyone do anything even slightly inconvenient, just so they'd look more attractive to potential mates..... Oh wait.

My first wife could run in high heels. I always laugh at people bagging on that scene in Jurassic World. Yes, I've seen it done.

If she was going out directly after work, she'd sometimes wear them in the OR. If they needed a tool from a far repository, she'd run the 1/4 mile back and forth through the hospital.

My second wife couldn't wear heels to save her life, looks like our 11-yo daughter stumbling around on 3 inchers.

Skill issue indeed!

Eh.... I wouldn't recommend them for use during vigorous activity or on uneven ground. But they honestly aren't that big of a deal for the majority of people. Around a cm of heel height is built into the vast majority of shoes. Most work boots and especially cowboy boots can have 3-4 cm of extra heel height without causing problems.

People with hyper mobile ankles or heels can be at higher risk of ankle injuries, but when people with higher mobile joints turn their ankles the sprains tend to be less severe. People with tight calves, heel spurs, hx of plantar fasciitis, or shortened Achilles can actually find high heeled shoes more comfortable than flats.

Everyone is different, just because you feel unsafe or uncomfortable in heels doesn't mean everyone does.

I just saw her performing a one-person show of Hamlet a few days ago. Really amazing and funny. Everyone should check if she's got a show in your area and go to it.

She (or he, back then) also translated her entire comedy routine into German and performed it to native speakers in Germany to prove that humour is not language dependent. And then translated it into Arabic and performed to native Arabic speakers (in Lebanon, I think) to continue the experiment.

I'll be honest, I don't think that jacket is very flattering. I'd probably take that zipper down about halfway to let the lapels lay out, better framing that way.

Waist down slays tho
