| Because this article contains material about one or more trans women, it should adhere to Wikipedia's guideline on identity for trans women, even if it is not a biography. According to MOS:IDENTITY, such a woman should be referred to using the gendered names and pronouns (e.g., "she", "her") that "reflect [her] latest expressed gender self-identification." This applies in references to any phase of her life. Quotations and titles of published works may need to be handled as exceptions. Also please avoid phrases that seem logically impossible or distracting (e.g. use She became a parent for the first time, not She fathered her first child.) Finally, please note that this talk page is not a forum for expressing your own opinions about the statement that trans women are or are not women. 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 women, to WP:BLPN. |
