Singer Pink has unleashed a furious rant at an "ignorant" troll on social media who compared her to comedian Eddie Izzard.
In a tweet aimed at Pink which included the message "happy birthday", the user also attached a photo of Izzard taken in 2022.
Izzard, who uses she/her pronouns and also goes by the name Suzy, hasn't publicly reacted to the post or Pink's subsequent rant
"Thank you so much," her retort began. "I just showed my 12-year-old daughter your post.
"I explained to her that I’ve never met you, I don’t know you, and I have no idea why you would go out of your way to be hateful.
"It was a good lesson in ignorance. Thank you. I still don’t know you. Congrats. You’re no one."

When one of her followers tweeted in response to the initial post to claim some people are "the worst", the singer shared: "Yes. Some.
"What these kind of people are are anonymous, lonely, and miserable.
"But most people are smart, good, and rad."
The singer's rant back at the user didn't stop there as she followed her tweets up with another which read: "MOST IMPORTANTLY -what a wasted opportunity here.
"There are so many pictures you could’ve chosen that were actually me that were worse than this picture, you nameless f****. At least be creative next time dum dum."
And she signed off: "I post these things to show the kids I know- my own kids as well, that we are all occasionally treated badly.
"I show them because they know me, and they know that my self-esteem does not rely on the opinions of others. Nor does it rely on how many tickets I sell.
"Good/bad. Whatever. I love me. Now I shall sleep really really well. Night night."
In the photo of the initial post, Izzard can be seen smiling for the camera at a red carpet event while wearing an orange-striped dress.
The aspiring politician, who is currently campaigning to become a Labour MP in Brighton Pavilion, publicly announced in 2020 that they were in "girl mode" now and wanted to go by "she/her" pronouns.

I just showed my 12 year old daughter your post.
I explained to her that I’ve never met you, I don’t know you, and I have no idea why you would go out of your way to be hateful.
It was a good lesson in ignorance.
Thank you. I still don’t know you. Congrats.… https://t.co/QTA4QNxA87
Izzard also told The Political Party podcast host Matt Forde that Suzy could be used as well as Eddie in terms of address.
"That's how I'm going to roll, so people can choose what they want. They can't make a mistake, they can't go wrong," Izzard said, via Politico.
