Warning: active arbitration remedies

The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:

You must be logged-in to an extended confirmed account (granted automatically to accounts with 500 edits and an age of 30 days)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Please remove "(formally Andrew Steele)"

Reasoning: Harper's former (or "dead") name is not relevant to her wikipedia page, does not further the publics knowledge base or provide necessary information on this person, and therefore not need to be included. Other sites listing her works or a biography, such as IMDB, does not include her former name. It is generally considered by the trans community that unless otherwise noted or volunteered by the person in question trans peoples name's from pre-transition are not public information or a part of their identity that is appropriate for a third party to share.

Further, The inclusion of her former name heightens the risk for bad actors to employ this information in harmful ways. She is a public figure and a highly visible trans person in a time where the health and safety of trans people are continually under attack by national political figures. This is not a political change, simply one that would protect her as an individual. According the the National Institute of Health as well as all other major national and international health organizations cite deadnaming as potentially harmful and can result in anxiety and harm. Harper has continually asked the people in her life and in the public to be aware of when she has been misgendered or deadnamed and to correct those acts promptly, a fact included in her wikipedia page.

In the case of IMDB, Harpers credits exist exclusively under the Name Harper Steele, and you cannot find her credits under the name Andrew Steele. This is consistent with other industry websites and resources.

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit extended-protected}} template. Per MOS:NB, the subject was known prior to the name change and the majority of her credits as a writer are under their old name. The name should stay unless consensus is reached to exclude the name but it should not be a change made without discussion. cyberdog958^Talk 02:57, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
