FYI, if Jenner wants to be referred to as a woman now, so long as the surgery and name change are legal, fine by me.
However, I must admit I find their stance hypocritical when applied to Brianna Wu (aka John Walker Flynt)

Here's my objection reproduced in full in case my objections disappear down the memory hole:
As can be seen, I clearly admit my bias up front, my objections have nothing to do with it, and I'm merely requesting information that could be objectively proven by public record be displayed in the interests of accuracy. As for my Gamergate sympathies, I find the entire article to be a whitewash, but since I know having that changed is fruitless, the bare minimum I'd like to see is a little freaking honesty as far as information that can be objectively proven.First off, as to Gamergate, I'm going to admit up front I'm sympathetic to the pro-side (as noted on my personal blog), but my opinions in that regard have no bearing on my objections to this article's content. My objections are that the biographical information is false. Brianna Wu was born John Walker Flynt, and while I accept Brianna Wu as the legally changed name and do not dispute that, I believe there should be a citation to that effect and that that name is no longer used due to have undergone sex-change surgery and having legally become a woman, another fact I noticed is missing from this article.
Why this information is suppressed, I do not know, but if Wikipedia is to have integrity as an encyclopedia, then this information should be presented, if only as a biographical reference. GethN7 (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
Maybe I'm just horribly naive, but I just want, at bare minimum, to see a site that calls itself an encyclopedia to cite information that can be determined by public record, and while I don't have the time or energy to dig that up, my objections were that such information was apparently suppressed in favor of bias towards Wu's fiction of having been born female, and while I don't know who is in favor of backing up said fiction, I find maintaining it makes Wikipedia lose integrity as a trusted source.
