Blatantly Offenzive/Man Enough to Be a Woman

In Canada, Blatantly Offenzive was released on Attic Records (LAT 1056). Also, in 1978 Wayne County released "Man Enough to Be a Woman", also produced by Martin Birch, (P) 1978 Safari Music Productions. This album was also released on Attic Records in Canada (LAT 1064).24.68.50.33 (talk) 19:56, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This page could use some clarity on a couple key points:

When was Jayne County born and where did she spend her early childhood

What are Jayne County's sex and gender identities. It is not clear to the naive reader (me) if she is male-bodied and female gendered or female bodied and male-gendered. It is onething to genderfuck the people you meet and interact with, it is another altogether to leave information out on a biographical page in a free, opensource encyclopaedia, based on the freedom of information.

dwinetsk

what do you mean by -bodied and -gendered? 67.172.61.222 23:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd guess that dwinetsk means 'born female, became male' or 'born male, became female'. Just a guess, mind. What was Jayne's birth name? It'd be nice to have more biographical details about her pre-op life. 86.133.246.224 21:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Born male, became female, IIRC. 惑乱分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 20:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why was almost everything post-1980 in Jayne's career removed? Yes, I agree there should be more sources... but the early stuff is more or less unsourced as well, so the removal of all of the details of Jayne's career from 1980 to the present on the basis of "puffery" seems a bit arbitrary. Is "puffery" just codeword for, "I'm personally not interested in this"? Also, what are the guidelines for pronouns used for transsexuals? It smacks of anti-LBGT bias to revert every pronoun to "he". —Preceding unsigned comment added by PotatocakesNixon (talk • contribs) 23:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Never-mind. Fixed it. Will do some scouring for more sources for some of the disputable aspects, most of which are probably addressed in Jayne's autobiography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PotatocakesNixon (talk • contribs) 00:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I didn't sign the previous posts. I'm new to this "Talk" stuff. PotatocakesNixon (talk) 03:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC) just to add to the confusion. i've never read jayne county's autobiography. but in an least one interview, she has denied ever having had sexual reassignment surgery. she is a "transexual," in that she is biologically male yet lives as a female. but to the best of my knowledge, she still has all her male "stuff." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.206.70 (talk) 23:19, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whether Jayne County still has "all her male stuff" or not, courtesy would dictate that the pronouns be congruent with her public gender identity: "she", "her" etc. Her book Man Enough to be a Woman holds more details regarding her life.WikiPennyCentury (talk) 23:00, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WPC is correct; the pronouns should be "she". --David Shankbone 23:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jayne appeared on Sharon Needles' album PG-13 on the track "Hail Satan." 12.162.122.5 (talk) 15:01, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wayne's identity

I don't have a source for this aside from my own experience, but my recollection from when I frequently visited Max's Kansas City in the late 1970s was that he presented as a man named "Wayne County" when he was off-stage. (In addition to being a performer he worked for the club as a DJ, and in various other roles.) He initially only dressed in drag when he was performing, and Jayne was ostensibly just a character he was playing--- but later on she presented as a woman full time.

Orphaned references in Jayne County

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Jayne County's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
