Talk:Lucas Silveira

message: Per the biography of living persons guidelines, controversial statement that are not backed up by sources may be removed immediately.  If you wish to add Silveira to the :Category:Transgender and transsexual musicians, it must be sourced. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 13:55, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That couldn't be easier, I challange you to find an article about the Cliks that's dated 2007 and doesn't mention that Lucas is a transman.  The presumption that this is "controversial" is borderline offensive.  -- AvatarMN 07:12, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't I know it!  The same situation would be true, though, about Paul Lynde (if he were still alive).  BLP states you can't put a person in an LGBT category without a reference.  Go figure.  Anyway, thanks for finding the source! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transgender 

message: "Silveira is the first openly transgender or transsexual person signed to a major music label."
What about Wendy Carlos? She's been recording for DECADES and while I don't think it was plastered all over the front pages, I don't think she's done anything to hide the fact she was born Walter. I can't think of any other examples offhand, but surely there must be other examples.
And so this sentence is removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.136.139 (talk) 17:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And yet, now it looks to be edited to say that he is an overtly transgender male.  What, exactly, is an overt transgender?  This moniker seems to mimic flaming as applied to an offensive description of gay men.  Also, the cited article fails to support this assertion.  It only mentions that Silveira may become "the first transgendered pop heartthrob" in mainstream culture.  To say he is the first overtly transgender male to be signed to a label seems a far reach, at best, and the use of overt leaves me wondering about the contributor's personal thoughts on LGBT individuals rather than actually imparting facts about them.

replies: text: I have read in two articles/interviews of Lucas that he was the first openly trans man to be signed to a record label, not trans person overall.   This is a possible addition. Mtjames20 (talk) 21:26, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
