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. |

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans men. 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 LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |

I don't know about any of those things, but I have various sources proving his middle name is Anthony, which I'm adding now. I agree that there needs to be more mentions of his non-trans content as well and I feel like there could be more about his engagement and the rescheduling of his wedding because of the pandemic. I believe he is from Essex as he graduated from the University of Essex and appears to have lived there for a very long time, I'm guessing he meant of Scottish descent. I don't know where a previous editor got Colchester from though, as they didn't provide a source and I've never heard him mention it as his birthplace, but I'll look into that soon.
Also yeah, it's unfortunate that some people feel like they have to know his deadname, he has chosen not to share it and avoiding deadnames is a basic level of respect for trans people. I'll definitely look into the things you've mentioned, just need good sources.

UPDATE: They did provide a source, just apparently I can't read. He's from Colchester, Essex.

Raines and Lotun were featured in one episode of a six-episode documentary series; They were not the only or most important subject of the documentary, which is the impression this section leaves with the reader. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.28.78 ( talk) 14:02, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
