Yes, and I like your phrasing of it, respect the present A debate you might be interested in is whether Wikipedia articles should even list a trans persons name at birth, or if they should omit it. I honestly think its up to the trans person themself, and whether they feel comfortable with that other name or if they would prefer people not to use it. I am not a part of the trans community so I am not an expert by any means, but I do try to learn about their community in order to be as respectful to others as I can be That is why I actually used Caitlyn Jenner as an example. They were an olympic athlete participating in male events - they were married to a woman and had children. It would seem very hard to identify them as a female in these situations, isn't it? I guess, what I am wondering is if someone was to do a history report on Jenner (or any other 'famous' transgendered individual), how would they explain their lives? A history report would need to be factual - so is it wrong to identify the actions that Bruce did as Bruce's actions, and Caitlyn's as Caitlyn's? --- --- MaverickXeo --- <cite>MaverickXeo posted [p:941221671] in Random tho...
