I'm not a frequent Wikipedia user by any means but I do know:
Recently (last 12 hours) information has been posted to Twitter showing that Dawn Mellor had used the name Tippy Rampage and requested non-binary pronouns for the past four years as a Goldsmiths mentor. In addition, it is public record that Mellor used the name 'Tippy Rampage' as a name for a 'persona'
It is alleged that Mellor's chosen identity at Goldsmiths was not sincere, and instead her persona, used as a way to 'adopt' a pretend non-binary identity to gather material for an upcoming book on gender identities. Beyond basic honesty issues there is concern about how trans students at the university confided in her, and how she will use that information to construct her book - this is reminiscent of Janice Reynold's dishonest interviews when writing The Transsexual Empire.
This may turn into a news story or a significant matter, and may result in changes to this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.123.182 ( talk) 20:24, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
I am the subject of this page. My name used to be Dawn Mellor . I am now called Bod Mellor and my pronouns have been they/them for some years. I have no wish to change or add to the other communally produced information which I have never personally contributed to previously or know anyone who has. I do however request the name and pronouns be changed to Bod Mellor and they/them as this page is often referenced on other websites some of which I have already written to and am in the process of changing also. Please advise best way to Proceed. Bod Mellor Aboynamedsue51 ( talk) 14:29, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved ( closed by non-admin page mover) Lennart97 ( talk) 09:44, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
Dawn Mellor → Bod Mellor – Subject has requested the change on the article talk page, made the alteration to their name using deed poll and it has been reflected in The Tate as shown within the article. Proposing a name change to Bod Mellor with a redirect of Dawn Mellor to the new article name space makes sense and is easy to accomplish and relatively noncontroversial with no harm done to the article itself. Wanted to get community consensus on the move in case I have overlooked anything. ARose Wolf 16:22, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
I apporove of this request to move/ redirect the page from my dead name to a new page under my legal name Bod Mellor. Thankyou Aboynamedsue51 ( talk) 19:05, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
My name is Bod Mellor. So I think instead of saying ‘previously working under the name Dawn Mellor’ best to indicate former name by saying ‘previously named Dawn Mellor’ as it was not a name used for work but a name given to me before I changed it .

Hi Whisperjanes, I don't think there is ever going to be a citation for the name change by deed poll because (by my reckoning and scant research) it isn't registered anywhere. It is a certified document that can be presented when opening a bank account etc. To make an analogy, in the previous century, if a woman changed her name at marriage, there wouldn't be legal documentation of the name change. In fact, the marriage certificate would have her maiden name. I think you might want to remove the "citation needed" for that information. Thanks for considering this.

Hello
I am the subject of this discussion and my name is Bod Mellor. I am trans. I am non binary. I changed my name by deed poll. I am not trying to remove any references to the allegations. The allegations are interesting as a public record of just how messed up the current climate is in multiple ways towards trans and non binary people. What is the issue here? No matter how many times this is discussed it doesn't change the fact that I am trans and that my name is legally Bod Mellor. The more this ping pong discussion goes on the more ridiculous this transphobic nonsense reveals itself to be. If it is more public citations that are needed then more public declarations will be made. I did not set up this wikipedia page and the discussion page here has just become a public record of how transphobia reveals itself in the current culture.
