I think technically she is a he.
Eddie is CD.
So he (I believe) identifies as male even though he crossdresses.

Nice guy though, I'm glad his coverage has more normalized the view of Trans. people.

Eddie is the best ambassador for Transvestites and Crossdressers I ever met. As he says himself "I am a stand up comedian who happens to be a transvestite as opposed to a transvestite who does comedy". And he is very funny too.
