No.  The same “bibliographic identity” used to be called Bruce and is now called Caitlyn.  See Wendy Carlos, Deirdre N. McCloskey and Jan Morris (1926-) for other examples.

Laura,

I just wonder: does that constitute a different bibliographic identity? Should there be a 500 for Bruce Jenner?

Subject: [PCCLIST] Inevitable Caitlyn Jenner NAR question

 

Hi everybody,

Hope you’re having a good day. I was just wondering about how people feel about the 375 in this record.  That’s the first time I’ve actually someone explicitly identified as transgender in a 375, but I can’t help wondering whether they would want to be labeled as such. I am just curious and wanted to be respectful to anyone whose NAR I am working with in the future.

 

Thanks!!
Laura
