Not feminism - asking for courtesy for transpeople, who are a group that suffers discrimination even from people who would never dream of being racist or sexist. The correct thing to do is to use the pronoun 'she' for transwomen, even in the past. Transwomen are not 'men who want to be women' or 'men who change into women'. They are people who have always had a female gender identity but a male body. What research there is suggests that this has a physical origin.

Do what you think right. I am not prepared to turn Louisa's obit thread into a row with you.
