The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article relates to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them.
This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it does not match what is most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names of living persons may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

The vernacular of the day included the term transvestite and there was no term for a person one might now call a trans woman. From the evidence available it seems likely that Liddy would have seen herself this way had the conceptualisation been available (as per the research of Dr Bodie Ashton, see this video from The Museum of Jewish Heritage: [1] ) She seems to have fully adopted her female identity and lived in a female role full time in the mid 1930s. We cannot know for sure of course, but it seems appropriate that she be memorialized as 'transgender' and not simply homosexual, as transgender is a broad term that would typically embrace someone like her now. It is also vital that trans people (whatever term they used from the recently coined and basic vocabulary of the era) are remembered and honoured within the narrative of the Holocaust. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Girlfromthewoods (talk • contribs) 00:06, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
