Talk:Mya Taylor

Real Name, Real History
Come on, people. Mya was born as Jeremiah James Bonner and didn't get the name Mya until she was around her early 20's. Stop trying to hide this fact to fit your biased views! She wasn't officially transgender until her talks with the psycologist either, so I think it's silly to refer to her as a "her" before then because Jeremiah saw himself as a gay male for quite some time. The way I wrote it fit more with reality, but people are trying to make it out to sound as if she was always Mya Taylor. She had the bravery to share her past with the world, so who are you to try to cover it up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.15.74.52 (talk) 22:27, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

The way the article reads now, it gives the impression that this person was born as a female named Mya Taylor and that she came out as being transgender, which could mean that she feels like a man in a woman's body. She has an original name, Jeremiah Bonner, and she's made that known. To not include that fact is to withdraw the truth for the sake of sounding PC, and it's confusing in the article. I think Wikipedia should be without such PC bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.15.74.52 (talk • contribs)
 * No PC bias, solely that WP:BLP is a libel-related policy. Also, the article does not "gives the impression that this person was born as a woman", solely the lead paragraph. The article states "She was raised by her Christian grandparents, who at first did not know that she had come out as gay (pre-transition) in school." and later "She began going to therapy, and it was in her talks with her therapist that she decided that she going to be true to herself. In January 2013, she came out as transgender." ©   Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 02:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
