This argument that people who don't agree with you are simply old and out of touch is a powerful one because it's always been applied to women who don't comply. It plays on the threat that all women feel of becoming invisible and irrelevant as they age in a patriarchy.

Under this same system, Eddie can change shoes and be in 'girl mode' when it suits his political career and male when he doesn't want to lose acting work because he's not actually a 'girl' after all, he's a post menopausal woman and there aren't many good roles for them.
Women who object to the idea that womanhood is a costume you can take on or put off, a set of stereotypes like lipstick and heels, are very much part of the 21st century. They're not out of touch, although they may have the wisdom that several decades of being female brings.
All I see when Eddie speaks is misogyny which reserves a special category of disrespect for older women. I accept him however he chooses to dress or whatever he wishes to call himself. But I won't lie and say he's a woman. #istandwithrosieduffield
