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

Two dozen doctors? Really?
[edit]I saw Southern Comfort and thought it was an excellent movie. I thought what happened to Robert Eads was extremely unfortunate. But saying he was refused treatment by two dozen doctors sounds like an exaggeration. Yes, I will accept that he was refused treatment by one or more than one doctor. But if it was me, and I was refused by the second doctor, I would have reevaluated my process--because clearly something isn't working.
All I'm saying is that if you are going to make a fantastic claim like saying he was refused treatment by TWO DOZEN doctors--that you cite a source. A source other than a friend of a friend told me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bill790 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
See the deleted scenes on the DVD. Eads discusses his difficulty getting treatment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kellyprice (talk • contribs) 04:06, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry to resurrect this; I'm here because Shakesville is linking to this article on occasion of the "Transgender Day of Remembrance." The source that the sentence cites says it was "over a dozen doctors refused to treat him," not "over two dozen." I've modified the sentence to reflect this.
