Talk:Mathilde de Morny

Transgender people and surgery
The paragraph that quotes Kadji Amin seems to imply that someone who hasn't undergone surgery cannot be considered transsexual. But lots of trans people don't have surgery. I can't tell from that paragraph whether the mistake is Amin's or that of the Wikipedia editor who included that paragraph; I would change the paragraph, but without access to the source I'm not sure quite what to say. But it's pretty unfortunate as it stands. --Elysdir (talk) 04:14, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Does this explain the odd statement: Though love between those perceived as women was then fashionable, Morny was attacked for this...? Valetude (talk) 23:02, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Morny's gender
The text here "Morny dressed and lived as a man, and used the name Max." seems to imply Morny was a trans man, not a lesbian. However, this page lists Morny as the latter. At the very least, it seems questionable. I don't know more about Morny-it seems however this may be a misidentification. Do we have sources to indicate what is the case, so far as the evidence shows? Mcc1789 (talk) 23:33, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
