This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. 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.

international Attention

The article states the subject "...gained international media attention after a series of videos about her was posted on You Tube.", and what is used as a reference is just a link to the so mentioned "series of videos". While this link proves the existence of the series of videos, it completely fails to support the claim that the article's subject "gained international media attention" after the posting of those videos.

The sentence is tagged as problematic. As being a BLP, I'm going to remove the whole sentence in a short time, if sources are not provided.

Its nice of you to post here and wait. I would just go ahead and correct it, or copy edit it, or whatever you want to call it. People can chime in here as needed if they want to add a citation or offer an alternate version, or complain, ect. Cheers.--Malerooster (talk) 19:20, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence is valid as it reads and the only proof needed is the link to her Youtube page. The justification for my statement is that Youtube is nothing if not international media. In fact it is probably the most international of all medias. You can access Youtube from nearly any nation. People from all over the world post, comment and view. Her combined video views of nearly two million back this up. You can further see by reading comments on any of her videos that the people commenting are from all over the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.144.213.97 (talk) 07:47, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's what we call original research, which is not allowed. A source has to do the research and make the statement. Encyclopedia do not include anything not already said by someone else and reported in a reliable source. We can't make assumptions or read between lines, analyze or synthesize or make judgments. You want to assert something, provide a source that says it. Skyerise (talk) 08:12, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jennings is not the family's real last name - stage name

Jennings is a pseudonym. Her parents use the last name "Jennings" for public appearances but not in real life.

Sources:

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3088298 In this article from 2007, Jazz Jennings' parents are named as Renee and Scott. Currently, this Wikipedia article calls them "Greg and Jeanette Jennings."

This is a quote from the 20/20 article: ""A phase is called a phase because it is just that. It ends. And this is not ending. This is just getting stronger," Renee Jennings told ABC News' Barbara Walters. The Jennings asked that "20/20" not disclose their real name in order to protect the identity of their 6-year old transgender daughter, Jazz."

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/gay-south-florida/palette-magazine/article25505500.html

"Since 2007, the Jennings have guarded their privacy. They try to keep their true last name a secret and, until recently, have even hesitated to reveal that they live in Broward.

“Jennings is our pseudonym, to sort of make life easier. We try to hide our real last name as much as possible,” Jeanette says. “Our last name is a very Jewish, long last name. We found it easier at this point. She’s known as Jazz Jennings. With the TV show, they’re not going to tell anybody where we live. The TV show is not going to reference our true last name.”

The Jenningses are preparing for the possible onslaught of public recognition that television brings." --12.180.133.18 (talk) 21:07, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/19/how-a-transgender-teen-became-a-nationally-known-activist/ "For the record, Jennings is not her real last name, according to TLC. While she has been called “the public face of transgender children,” her true name is not public, concealed because her parents fear for her safety." … "Her parents were referenced by ABC News as Scott and Renee Jennings. Now they go by Greg and Jeanette, TLC said." 12.180.133.18 (talk) 21:15, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Career?

Is it really right to title that section as a "Career"? Wouldn't "activism" be better? —Мандичка^YO 😜 01:35, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

The "personal life" section is largely a copy of a paragraph in the previous section. Needs cleaning up!
