We understand many people were upset, and we’re sorry. Aimee Stephens outside the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, October 8, 2019. In memory of Aimee Stephens, the woman who brought the first-ever trans rights case to the Supreme Court, trans activist and ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio has explained why reporting deadnames … “An earlier version of this obituary included the name Ms. Stephens was given at birth, which she no longer used. The publication of her previous name, colloquially referred to as “deadnaming,” drew swift and fierce reaction from LGBTQ rights groups and advocates. That reference has been removed,” an editor’s note in the Times obituary stated. Reporting from The New York Times, The Associated Press, and The Detroit News on the May 12 death of Aimee Stephens needlessly published her deadname… The New York Times and Associated Press amended their obituaries for In her obituaries Tuesday, The Times and AP published “It serves no purpose of integrity to publish a transgender person’s ‘deadname,’ or former name, as the @nytimes did here in “The Grey Lady should know better than this in 2020,” The Times later updated its piece and Times editor Patrick LaForge apologized on Twitter.A few words about the editor’s note on this obituary.

But this was not the reporter’s decision, so please do not direct your criticism toward her… The AP also added an editor’s note to its piece, which read, “The story has been edited to remove a former name in accordance with AP Style to use the name by which the person lived and avoid former names unless relevant,” NBC News AP spokeswoman Lauren Easton told NBC News that the news organization’s AP Stylebook was updated in June 2019 to advise against deadnaming unless it’s relevant to the story.“The spirit of the entry is to make NOT printing a person’s deadname the default; to assume a person does not want their deadname used unless they say or you confirm otherwise,” Ms. Easton said.
