Because this article contains material about one or more [[trans women]], it should adhere to Wikipedia's guideline on gender identity, even if it is not a biography. 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 "woman", "waitress", "chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. 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). Nevertheless, avoid confusing or seemingly logically impossible text that could result from pronoun usage (for example: instead of she fathered her first child, write she became a parent for the first time).<p>

Because this article contains material about one or more [[trans women]], it should adhere to Wikipedia's guideline on gender identity, 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 identity|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''.)<p>
