I could've sworn I've read interviews with Beth Ditto where she identifies herself as bisexual, not lesbian, but a (very) quick Google search isn't turning anything up... Anyone? Nevergrowold 15:34, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics
Do we have a date or place of birth for her? And is Beth Ditto her full, real name?
- Her first name's probably Elizabeth. I remember reading that she was born on the same day as Paris Hilton in an interview, and we've established that she was born 1981. Place of birth would probably be Arkansas.--HisSpaceResearch 17:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Beth's partner
Although there is citation for the info that Beth's partner is a "transgendered man" I believe that it is wrong. I believe (based on a Beth Ditto interview which I read in a Guardian Weekend magazine) that Beth's partner is actually a transgendered woman. Beth refers to her partner as "he" because she identifies as a man, but I think that she is in fact physically a woman. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.13.207.153 (talk) 00:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
Here's the page, the specific paragraph is fifth from the end. http://music.guardian.co.uk/rock/story/0,,1961100,00.html 16th February 2007
I think that the Guardian source is more likely to be accurate, as it has exact quotes from Beth on the subject, whereas in the article cited at the moment there are no quotes from Beth about her partner's gender or sex. 16th February 2007
- Agree that her partner is probably physically a woman, based on that Article GiantSnowman 12:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Her partner was born female, but has a male gender identity, making him a transgendered man (FtM). And "she" doesn't identify as a man--he does.never grow old 05:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Shaving?
You can clearly see that quote is rubbish. just look at the two pitures you crazies have of her, they are shaven. BYE Jimmy93211 21:34, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- She is unshaven on the Standing In The Way Of Control album cover GiantSnowman 22:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] weight 95 kilos?
what does it matter what she weighs? nobody would write what say, kate moss or robert plant weighs. why do you think this is approprieate? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.43.79.48 (talk) 15:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC).
- I agree, though I think her weight might be a little more relevant if something were added about her fat-positive politics. Maybe. never grow old 05:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
It matters as she always goes on about it; maybe if she had never made a big deal about her weight and sexual orientation, nobody would give a crap. It's cause she's used her 'nonconformity' as a springboard to launch The Gossip that her orientation and weight should be mentioned. I personally wish she'd shut up about it and let her music do the talking.
[edit] Vandalism
Various instances of recent vandalism on this page have generally been things like "fat stinky lesbian bitch". It'll be one to watch for more vandalism as The Gossip become increasingly popular.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 18:57, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
