Well, he isn't a transgender woman. He's a gay man who dresses as a woman for his stage act. Panti Bliss is indeed his stage name. He isn't trying to convey that this is who he is. It's an act. he puts on the outfit and does his show as Patti, then takes off the outfit for his normal life. And he appeared as his stage persona because he is very well known in Ireland, as a drag queen.
As far as I am aware, the majority of transwomen do not adopt 'dopey double entendre names'. That is generally something done by drag queen performers. They aren't the same thing. Not even remotely.
