Transgender reporting

This morning's Observer had an article by the Readers' Editor referring to comments received on an article about David/Sonia Burgess. Burgess, a civil rights lawyer, was allegedly murdered by being pushed under a London Underground train last year and a trial is shortly to take place. The comments were concerned with how the paper referred to to her/him. It was quite difficult because sometimes Burgess lived as a male (David) or female (Sonia) and had friends in each persona but, apparently, few in both.

The readers' editor on... reporting transgender issues

I thin you may find both the article and the comments interesting. I think there's a link to to the article on the same page and that's also worth a read, I think.
