| This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more transgender people. 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. |

Steve was his name and changing it is an insult to the victims by letting this POS hide behind an identity established after words do NOT let this monster hide behind the LGBTQ community as an insult 149.142.201.42 (talk) 20:06, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know if I'm in the right place to make a comment, but here goes...
- Steven (now Linda) Hayes was male, not female, at the time the Cheshire home invasion murders were committed, as well as during the arrest, charging, trial and sentencing for the crimes. Editing the details to show Hayes as female throughout the timeline of this heinous atrocity is totally confusing, misleading - and wrong.
- While Hayes had been diagnosed with a gender identity disorder at 16, it had never been treated. Hayes did not start undergoing feminizing hormone therapy as part of a gender transition until incarcerated - approximately 10 years following the murders.
- I checked to see how they handled the gender situation with Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner during an impressive athletic career. Instead of using "he" or "she, they simply used "Jenner" throughout the article to avoid any transgression (no pun intended).
- In this case, I feel "Hayes" would also be less confusing to the reader than "she". You could also use "they", but then the reader might think you are referring to both Hayes and Komisarjevsky.
- Thank you. 178.189.236.53 (talk) 17:25, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Not done:—this is covered by the second and third paragraphs of MOS:GENDERID, as the subject is a living person.--Jerome Frank Disciple 20:40, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Question at WT:Manual of Style/Biography relating to this page edit
Hello! I've just asked a question as to the meaning of GENDERID at WT:MOS/BIOGRAPHY that would affect this article, and, specifically, whether Linda Hayes's deadname is included.--Jerome Frank Disciple 01:15, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
