Talk:Maud Marin

Disbarment

The draft article and the Closer source says she was disbarred as a result of her 1996 book.
But the Nouvel Obs source is from 1991 and it says she had already been disbarred. MmeMaigret (talk) 06:47, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

this article states (machine translated): Maud Marin practiced law from 1981 to 1985 before being disbarred for her perceived difference, which displeased the Parisian establishment. She regained the right to speak in court in 1992, only to be barred again in 1999

It later goes on to say 1999: Maud Marin wrote "Pity for the Victims," ​​a hefty tome that unflinchingly denounced the violence in the suburbs. "It was after this book that I was barred for the second time from practicing law..."

I think this is clearly notable, btw. Katzrockso (talk) 08:48, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

@Eletroboss Have you got access to the La Depeche articles? MmeMaigret (talk) 01:54, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Transgender or transsexual?

In the French article, and the French sources, Maud Marin is referred to as transsexuelle, and I am taken to believe that this was her preferred term. (it was mentioned as being so on the french article but alas I do not have access to the source to verify)

This translates to English as "transsexual", not transgender. The terms "transsexuel" and "transgenre" in French correspond to the English and have the same connotations, including the general preference towards transgenre (https://www.site-de-rencontre-trans.fr/difference-transgenre-transsexuel/).

I can't remember if transsexual was changed to transgender when I translated the article, or if it was done in review, but I will change it to transsexual (since that was her preferred term), putting emphasis on that being her preference. Eletroboss (talk) 17:38, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
