Revision as of 04:43, 20 November 2013 by imported>Obiwankenobi (Undid revision 582447194 by Georgia guy (talk) seems to be obvious but it's not - a trans female could express as male - the wording says "latest". we should hew as close as possible to MOS)
| 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). 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 women, to WP:BLPN. |
