It seems unnecessary to repeat "illegally" here and only serves to illegitimate their family arrangement. Focusing on this fails to take into historical context that trans people often could not "legally" adopt at the time.Tags: RevertedVisual editMobile editMobile web edit

The previous description used a sensationalist frame that implied Tipton was lying about his gender. This is not an unbiased frame, but one that implies that Tipton (and by extension transgender people) are lying about their gender. This focus on revelation has been heavily critiqued, such as in the documentary Disclosure (https://www.disclosurethemovie.com/about).Tags: RevertedVisual editMobile editMobile web edit
