Anyone else find this F*ed Up

[GroobySteven]

I think that the only thing he needs to do is change the ads to links to support sites, that way those who need help can find it via that site.

The highest and most visible links are:

Worthy Causes *

• AIM – Healthcare Foundation
• Free Speech Coalition – FSC
• Stopping the Hate
• Terence Higgins Trust

Happy to add any others?

[SunshyneMonroe]

Im sorry i think the site is just wrong...

[SarahG]

Well then that's just fucked up. How do they find the old information though? Someone must have to spill it, no?

You can thank our wonderful government.

Unless you change your name legally as a child (which allows you to have the record sealed) it is considered a public record and that means anyone who wants can go to the courthouse where you had it changed and look up the court order.

Plus in most states you have to publish a "legal notice" in the newspaper to notify the public that your name has legally been changed.

In ye olde days the only way to look into someone's history was to physically travel to a court house and physically look through the dusty decaying boxes of records to see if someone has any skeletons in their closet. But thanks to computers, OTR of scanned newspapers, and post 9/11 reforms you sometimes don't even have to leave your bedroom.

LOL! I know all this. I've had my name changed. And you're right that a person could look up the information online or do a little footwork, but it still requires knowing certain things about a person in order to find that information. It's not like I can enter a girl's name into Google and find her birth name. I need to know where she's from, possibly her date of birth, etc to get that info. I know it's not hard to do, but it's also not easy to do without some kind of direction.

On the issue of publishing your amended name in a newspaper, you may
state that publishing your new name may put you at risk in your
community, and you may request that you be given a waiver from doing
so.

If it is mandated and required that you publsh your new name, try to do
so in a very obscure and little known, hardly read paper.

You might even consider publishing it in another city in your state.

First of all-

Let's get one thing straight- when you do porn or nude modeling is is with you for ALL of your life anf after your DEATH. I don't remembere anyone stopped showing Marylin Monroe's topless Playboy pic after she died.

It's something you CHOOSE to do and people will remember you in that way AFTER you have died.

Let's face the reality that if you CHOOSE to objectify yourself as a sex worker, wether you are a model, prostitute, adult actress that is mostly likely how you will be remembered.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Steven is a good man with a reputable company, whom I consider to be a good friend and he has always shown the upmost respect from transsexual women.

If you want to be remembered for something else then do something else with your life-
Yes I am have been an escort, model, actress but I have done way more than that as well.

[AllanahStarrNYC]

The sex industry is low class and NO ONE wants to be remembered for it, unless they have severe mental issues.
I personally know if i died I wouldn't want anyone to say "Paris Angelline the transsexual Escort died" and then have them post my ass pics, come on now.


COSIGN

Paris, I think you are being very general here and there are people like myself who have abosolutely no shame about being in the sex industry.
I am very proud of the work I did as an adult actress and what I achieved as such. It took me places and I have done things, met people I would have never have-the list can go on and on. I have no problem being remembered as that.

I don't mean that in an argumentative way, or to fight- I just think your comment was general and there are certain girls who chose adult work to build a career and name brand, both ts and gg.

It's not always just a means to an end, but a means to building a business and a legacy or sorts.

[peggygee]

I love the way my body looks, my face, breasts, vagina, hips, and butt. I
love it from head to toe.

But if I were to drop dead this moment I wouldn't want to have nude
photos of me floating around for eternity.

Thus I have a motto that I wouldn't shoot a photo that I wouldn't want
my Mom or my clergy to see, which isn't to say that I wouldn't shoot
something for my significant other, and if Mom or someone else saw it,
oh well.

But the bottom line is that a person is most likely going to be
photographed and immortalized for what they were primarily known for
while they were alive.

I'm sorry, but just because something is precedented, that doesn't make it right. So because newspapers have always printed male names, they should continue to do that as well?

Unless the newspaper has a subscription datamining service that they automatically run every name through before printing stories... You'd be surprised what little information is sometimes needed.
