Well u should look at it....

In English, please.
It looks like they copy and pasted the actual newspaper clippings. The news always out the girls with their birth names and use the pro-nouns he/him/his it's truly disgusting. God forbid if you are a transsexual and die. The news will out you and disrespect you. Some even scout out your boy pictures.
A transgender woman was found dead in her ransacked Queens apartment on Tuesday, her naked body sprawled across the bed........There is also a rumor that Tonya died a year or two ago due to complications from silicone pumping. Ironically Tonya was famous for pumping girls. Laura’s tush was actually Tonya’s best work. But Tonya is also alleged to have accidentally killed a couple of girls and injured others............
A transgendered prostitute was stabbed to death in the Bronx Saturday by a customer who was apparently surprised by the hooker’s true sex, police sources said Saturday.
The victim – a 25-year-old man who dressed like a woman – was identified by sources as Talib Stewart, who often went by the feminine nicknames of Nesha or Sanesha.................Not many details are known about Rafaella’s death. She was known to have AIDS and had been in and out of the hospital and is believed to go back to her families to die.
Much like when Anna Alexandre died. She was so beautiful and the media outed her boy name and referred to her as a him. They even scouted out boy pictures of her. It was disgusting!
I thought that since the Gwen Araujo case, the Associated Press had adopted the use of proper pronouns. Is that only local to the state of California? :???:
:iagree: While I believe there should definitely be a site remembering those who have passed, especially those who did so in a violent manner, I'm sure plenty of people have clothed pics of these girls. The gratuitousness of the way they are displayed indicates a desire on the part of the site owner to bump posthumous sales of 'fallen' models' material. I also take issue with that term 'fallen.' Heroes 'fall,' the rest just die, and we (transsexuals) are not heroes. War veterans, fire-fighters, activist leaders - these people 'fall.'
So many girls decline to change their legal documents and IMHO that's why a lot of them get 'outted.' When someone dies, it's customary for news organizations to post their legal name. I don't care if you're the prettiest, most passable, most feminine woman who's been so for 25 years; if your ID says Michael Johnson, Male, then that's what's going to get reported, and rightly so.
LADIES, GET YOUR ID'S CHANGED!
However, if they go so far as to snoop into a departed's life, then that's just bias or an attempt at sensationalism. :(
I think you're referring to the AP Stylesheet, and I'm fairly sure it was changed before the Araujo case, but don't quote me on that. It should also be noted that a news organization is under no requirement to follow the stylesheet.
