No real reason to post this on here (couldn't get onto BBC website to complain) but I just feel I want to vent my anger.
Just watched a BBC look north report about a transgender woman who has apparently taken her own life in a mens prison,,,,,
The reporter just had to add ',,,,,formerly known as.....'
The poor girl is dead for goodness sake,,,wht does this additional indignity have to be added to injury?
The reporter probably would not sign off by telling us his name and adding that there were irrelevant facts about his past that we may find tittilating.
I expect some people will disagree with me but,,,I really don't understand the apparent obsession with dragging up a persons past in this way.
She was transgender and put in a male prison,,that is the pertinent fact,,,,her former name is not. |

"I have trans friends and they feel that the use of someone's deadname is insulting. I agree, you wouldn't introduce a divorced woman as Ms X, formerly Mrs Y, so why do it to trans people? "
Married women are often named like this.
Eg. Mrs Brown nee Brustock. |

I often find myself shaking my head at some reporting style or interview technique. Listening to an interview on Woman's Hour this week with a woman whose achievements in life include becoming a professor at 23, speaking 5 languages, a model, an opera singer among others.....the female interviewers first question "did you have any friends?" I was horrified. |

We have never been good at praising our own, that's impressive and yet ignored, men or women with the guts to be themselves against all odds should be seen as an asset and brave not a freak some people think swingers are odd but that will not stop us. |

I agree. The interviews first thought seemed to be that a talented woman would have been shunned.....its awful. |

"Sexism is rife and embedded in this patriarchal society. "
I know this as when I was a househusband I wasn't allowed to feed my baby in a mother and baby room - there was nowhere for me to feed the baby and nowhere for a man to change the nappy. Maybe that bit was matriarchal but the principle remains. |

But why would they need the deadname? Take Caitlyn Jenner for example, if she passed away we all know who she is so why would we need to reference the deadname?
And in the case of someone not famous, if it was to inform friends and family they would already know her by her actual name, surely? |

I have never heard of Caitlin Jenner so a reference to her former name would do me a favour.
Maybe not all her family knew of her transition.
Maybe it was a way of informing the full facts so that everyone knew of this poor persons death.
I agree that you should refer to a person how they wish to be referred but when making an announcement of someone's passing I think you should give all the facts so everyone knows who you're on about. |

I have just googled Caitlin Jenner and I didn't know who she was before she changed so I would have been none the wiser if she'd died and they gave out both names. |

Can't have been her dead name if he was in a men's prison can it? What was the name and sex at the time of sentencing? |

So by that argument then, when Elton John passes away the news reports should all state Reginald Dwight, the name he was born with, yes? |

It's actially a lot more common than you think for people to kill themselves in prison
The feeling of self loathing being taken away from family losing wife and kids
Male suicide in prison is quote high and most of the time it can be prevented
It's even worse for those that havr been imprisoned wrongly and see their Mrs take the house etc
It's something that needs to be addressed my local prison had 3 suicidrs this year |

To be fair, they often call paul gadd by his birth name before identifying him as gary glitter. |

I don't agree. If he was a she, she would have sadly died in a women's prison. Hence my question under what name was he sentenced? His name or her name. The answer to this will answer why the paper named him. He might have been very popular before she became a criminal. His friends may have been very supportive throughout her transition. Like it or not at some stage in her life she was a he. She was probably still a he in the eyes of the law. |

Maybe not all her family knew of her transition.
Maybe it was a way of informing the full facts so that everyone knew of this poor persons death.
I agree that you should refer to a person how they wish to be referred but when making an announcement of someone's passing I think you should give all the facts so everyone knows who you're on about.
So by that argument then, when Elton John passes away the news reports should all state Reginald Dwight, the name he was born with, yes?
It wouldn't offend me if they did.
But it isn't about you, is the point. To use someone's deadname is a slur against them, and it's unnecessary.
Even when trying to inform people of someone's passing ?
Who would need to be informed through a news report that wouldn't be informed through friends and family?
School friends. Members of his old football, darts, or snooker club.
His old pub mates.
That would be she, not he. And if they were close friends they would know that.
When I die I don't expect my family members to be contacting people I went to school with! My family and friends would be told, no one else needs to know.
I don't agree. If he was a she, she would have sadly died in a women's prison. Hence my question under what name was he sentenced? His name or her name. The answer to this will answer why the paper named him. He might have been very popular before she became a criminal. His friends may have been very supportive throughout her transition. Like it or not at some stage in her life she was a he. She was probably still a he in the eyes of the law."

How about they just state the relavent details instead of making a tragedy worse by sensationalizing peoples missfortunes eg Soham and countless others. There was no need for the public to know anything about his/her background just that the courts had gotten it wrong again.we will go to great lengths to look after refugees but don't treat our own with dignity, respect or understanding. |

Some time ago a woman was gored by a stag in Scotland and nearly died,a sensational enough story in itself.The reporting of it made as much a lot of the fact that she was a trans woman,a completely irrelevant fact.I doubt the stag attacked her specifically because she was trans.
In the case of the woman who has died in jail,apparently a suicide,shouldn't it be of concern that a person on suicide watch could manage to take their own life,,,,more important than the fact that she had once changed her name? |
