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 LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Location and timeline

I think Sandy moved to the Santa Cruz mountains (specifically Brookdale,CA) prior to 1974 because I met her in Santa Cruz prior to my GRS surgery at Stanford which occurred in September 1974. At the time we met she was already the owner of a recycled audio shop in Santa Cruz and doing a weekly show on a local radio station, KUSP. Several years later my partner & I lived in the basement of her Brookdale home for several months. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.203.60 (talk) 20:59, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For now I just made a start with the page about Sandy Stone as I am just reading one of her books, "The War of Desire and Technology at the Close of the Mechanical Age". There's a lot about her online that needs to be added here, I am aware of that. The thing is I can find a lot of articles about her and studies but nowhere where exactly and when she was born in New Jersey. I might asked her myself. Artgoyle 13:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wording in "Empire" section

After much thought, I changed someone else's edit in the "Olivia" section from "Raymond's opinion" back to "Raymond's mean-spirited attack". I did this because (1) There is broad consensus that Raymond was out not to express an opinion but to do serious personal and professional damage to Stone, and archives well beyond "The Transsexual Empire" clearly show that; (2) The editors' introduction in the definitive anthologization of "The Empire Strikes Back" refers to the section of Raymond's book which mentions Olivia and Stone as a "mean-spirited attack", and the phrase under discussion might well have been simply a copy of that. Stone once showed a friend of mine a sheaf of hate mail written by people who supported Raymond. Stapled to it was a memo from a member of the Olivia Collective that in part said "Why don't they just admit that their final goal is the ovens and be done with it?" As I would with any hate speech, I believe it's important not to forget and not to allow Raymond's genuinely destructive and dangerous vitriol to fade with time into "opinion", but I'm certainly willing to discuss it with the person who made the previous edit.

No problem here for changing it back, what I hear and read about this makes me think it's an attack rather than just an opinion. Artgoyle (talk) 13:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it from "mean-spirited attack" to "attack" because I think it's pretty obvious to any reader that Raymond was attacking Stone, but judging what mental state Raymond was in that led her to make that attack is beyond the purview of an encyclopedia.

Death of spouse

The article currently reads "Currently Stone and ru Taren divide their time between Santa Cruz and Austin" yet the article for her spouse says he has died of colorectal cancer - the citation given there is a FaceBook page. WP:FACEBOOK says that it may be used as a self-published primary source but only if it is authenticated. The page is for the Convergent Media Collective. Where on wikipedia lists authenticated FaceBook pages? Autarch (talk) 23:20, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
