20 Celebrities Who Have Changed The Way We View Gender

“I felt everyone thought I was gay, and I could see it being a logical thing, you wear the clothes, you’re gay. But I’m straight. I don’t know why I’m straight, but I am. I like to be truthful and I’d like to get it down on record.”
Eddie Izzard is particularly interesting to me and I think he’s making a huge wave in gender acceptance. He reminds me a lot of Jaden Smith, or maybe Jaden Smith reminds me of Eddie Izzard. Izzard is a transgender man and identifies as straight, but his taste in fashion and how he dresses has never completely aligned with the stereotype of how men should dress. So people are often confused by his sexuality. But why? Why can’t he wear what he wants to wear and still identify as a straight male?
Watch this video and understand why he’s so critical to society:
“No matter what sex or sexuality, how you self-identity, or who you fancy, matters not one whit – what do you do in life? What do you make? What do you add to the human existence? That’s what’s matters.”
