Jack Bee Garland (1869 - 1936) journalist.Margaret Pepper (1944 - ) quantity surveyor, painter.Vanessa Ledesma (197? - 2000) activist.Storme Aerison (1964 - ) fraudster, model, inmate.For whatever reason this last detail is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Minkowitz. Minkowitz had previously been criticized by trans activists for refusing to use male pronouns in her influential article on Brandon Tina.
This is at least ironic in that on the very same page he rightly admonishes the New York journalist writing of young trans man Sean O'Neill: "Still, it is puzzling to find Minkowitz balking again and again at using the same male pronouns to describe O'Neill that he uses to describe himself".
The Wiki folk seem to have the attitude that a fraudster cannot be a genuine trans person.Ĭalifia devotes a single paragraph to Aerison, whom he calls only Charles Daugherty, and uses only male pronouns. The now deleted Wikipedia article uses male pronouns for Aerison, as it still does for Tito Anibal da Paixao Gomes (compare my version). _įor whatever reason Storme is not mentioned on the Wikipedia page List of people from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
