 :::How exactly would you scientifically verify that someone is ""genetically male""? There are lots of chromosomal variations at the edge - for all we know Manning was born intersex, or ...? Or, even barring that, how are we supposed to verify whether Manning has a penis or not? It's an interesting subject for debate about gender identity, but it's ultimately irrelevant to the title of the article - I have no idea what Kristin Beck has in her pants, nor whether her chromosomes are XY, XXY, XYY, XX, YY, or any of the other possible variants (some of those I made up ) ), but we wouldn't move that article to ""Chris Beck"" because in the public's eye, there is no Chris Beck, only Kristin. This is not a forum, and claims that Manning is not a real ""woman"" piss off trans* allies, while claim that Manning is now 100% a woman piss off other people, and ultimately, neither side contributes ANYTHING to the discussion. Even if one side is right, e.g. if one side proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Manning has a penis and Manning is XY with normal male karyotype, and they even prove that Manning doesn't have GID after all, it was just a mistake, and Manning's internal gender is still male - even with all that, ""Chelsea"" may still be the best article title if a vast majority of sources use it!
