| Because this article contains material about one or more trans men, it should adhere to Wikipedia's guideline on identity, even if it is not a biography. "Use context to determine which name or names to provide on a case-by-case basis" per MOS:GENDERID. If the current name is chosen, according to MOS:IDENTITY, any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man", "waiter", "chairman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Direct quotations may need to be handled as exceptions (in some cases adjusting the portion used may reduce apparent contradictions, and " [sic]" may be used where necessary). Also please avoid phrases that seem logically impossible or distracting (e.g., use He became a parent for the first time, not He birthed his first child) Finally, please note that this talk page is not a forum. If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the WT:LGBT, or, in the case of living trans men, to WP:BLPN. |
