Subject: RE: Obit: Louisa Jo Killen (1934-2013)
I would point out, c.g., that it was not the name that was in question in the post of mine to which you took exception, but the referential pronoun. When a record was made under the name of Louis Killen, I consider it would be inaccurate to use any other than the male pronoun in reference to the singer performing on it. Any work done after the time the name and the gender-identity had changed would be a different matter; but none such was in question in that particular post. I am sure you mean well, but your feminist principles appear to me to have overcome your judgment on this occasion.
