Dear Imdb,

Please continue with your policy, keep all valid information on this website permanently

Those articles I presented earlier have remained the same, so maybe the new policy won’t have any affect on the valid info never getting removed from the site..

IMDb needs to stop deadnaming trans people
IMDb should not put trans people’s old names out there.
The site should make an exception for the policy
of not removing factual information,
since this is extremely disrespectful
to all trans people working in the film industry....

What is this?

IMDb's policy change has invited further demands. I hope they ask themselves whether they will please anyone by giving in to more demands.

Uuugh ok.. well i hope this will be the ONLY valid information that imdb removes..

Hello Michelle,

Please, i just wanna make sure,

will all valid films, tv shows and video games stay on imdb permanently?

Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: Could I please speak to an imdb staffer.

I hope IMDb takes a careful look at this thread and notices what contempt the activists have for the database and its contributors. Agree to their demands and you can expect more demands and fewer contributors.

Look, if imdb is gonna start caving in to all these different groups and giving in to demands to start removing various, factual, legitimate, valid information.. then i’m done, i’m not gonna use this site anymore

Doesn't this article paint a mixed message?
https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/2019/01/28/Two-transgender-actors-cast-in-Marvels-Spider-Man-...

I
thought the reason for removing the birth names was to protect transgender privacy. I've scanned a lot of articles in the
past few days and cannot find one that specifies the exact privacy issue
except that the birth name would out them as being trans.  The harm
that I've seen specified is the inability to get a job because one is trans. 

So if I take it on face value, trans people should not want any publicity as being trans, right?
Then
I find this article where two actors are in a big budget flick and that
someone formed a talent agency just for trans actors.  It's this latter
part that has me stymied. So if the concern from above is to keep
secret someone is trans, having a talent agency that only reps for trans
actors would be a dead bang giveaway that someone is trans.  But wait a
minute, weren't we supposed to be protecting the privacy of people that
were trans and not outing them as trans??

Isn't this an oxymoron?
