The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

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 doesn't match what's 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 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 .
This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page .

Birth name
[edit ]Is Jeska's birth name known - it seems an odd omission from an encyclopedic article? JezGrove (talk) 19:47, 14 March 2017 (UTC) JezGrove (talk) 19:47, 14 March 2017 (UTC) [reply ]
- I've found one source that says she was born Michael. Unfortunately that source is the Daily Mail.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:01, 14 March 2017 (UTC) [reply ]
- Thanks, that's a shame. (It's the newspaper of the year, apparently. Though in the fake news age, I'm not entirely sure how valuable that award is...) JezGrove (talk) 20:28, 15 March 2017 (UTC) [reply ]
- This article in The Guardian confirms Jeska's birthname as Michael and includes some other biographical details. JezGrove (talk) 13:43, 18 March 2017 (UTC) [reply ]

Motivation is unclear?
[edit ]The 'Attempted murder' section of the article states:
"In June 2015, UK Athletics told Jeska that she would be required to provide blood tests to prove that her hormone levels were within normal female range, as there was no documentation for Jeska's 2000 castration. Jeska found this requirement distressing as she felt it would reveal her transgender status publicly."
The section isn't clear about 1) why Jeska thought the blood tests would be abnormal, 15 years after the claimed gonadectomy, and 2) why providing the samples, presumably a confidential medical process, would "reveal her transgender status publicly" .
