Call her Suzy: Eddie Izzard adds to her name so fans 'can't make a mistake'

Eddie Izzard is embracing a new name — one the British comedian said she's wanted since childhood.

Speaking to Matt Forde for Tuesday's episode of "The Political Party" podcast, the British comedian opened up about how she identifies, her pronouns and her new name.

"There's another name I'm going to add in as well, which is Suzy, which I've wanted to be since I was 10," said Izzard, who came out as transgender in 1985. "So, I'm going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard. That's how I'm going to roll so people can choose what they want."
