We don't want to deadname people or give out hurtful info or anything like that, but I mean as a reader I'm still left with reasonable questions after reading the article, like:
She was born male I gather from reading the refs, but we do don't say that, in fact we kind of imply not, with "...when she was 12..."
Is she trans, in the sense that she presents as a women when she's shopping for groceries and like that? Or does she present as a guy? It doesn't say. Pretty important point for understanding the person I would say.
And if she is trans, can we not say that (or say she's not if she isn't)? It's important to understanding the person, and clears up the first point.
Does she have a civilian name -- not her deadname, but an everyday name for writing checks or whatnot, and what is it, unless that would be sensitive info? Because for performers we are usually like either "Stefani Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is..." or else "Lady Gaga, the stage name of Stefani Germanotta, is...". Maybe it is different for drag queens, but that seems odd, unless maybe it is dangerous or hurtful to do that, I don't know. Just wondering. Herostratus (talk) 23:46, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
