Emily has stated on their social media pages that their preferred pronouns are they/them. This ought to be respected on their wiki page. Anon (talk) 09:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
For how long has Carey displayed just "they" on social media? @Moviemaniaaction wrote in an edit summary that "Emily Carey uses both she and they pronouns and does not use just 'they/them' All official biographical text produced by representatives of Emily Carey is reflective of this and ought to be respected by editors on Wiki. Furthermore, all recent press uses she/her pronouns for consistency and as agreed by Carey and team. See recent BBC interviews both live and in print".
We need to establish whether this is still up-to-date or has now been superseded by Carey dropping the "she" pronoun. If the social media change is recent, it suggests that maybe Carey has had a change in pronoun preference. @Moviemaniaaction: how recentis the information you referred to in that edit reason and can you provide a direct link to the offical biographic text, recent press and recent BBC interviews in question?
@Anon if no-one else responds to this within a couple of days, then I think it is OK to change the pronouns on the article using they/them, which would become the new established consensus for the article. Offa29 (talk) 14:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
The edits made to Emily’s pronouns on their social media accounts were updated last week, suggesting that their preferred pronouns are they/them. Is their social media page not the most accurate source considering they themselves handle it? Anon (talk) 16:40, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
That may well be indicative of a change in preferred pronouns. I would lean towards a change to the article pronouns unless someone produces evidence that Carey still endorses she/her for references in the media. Give it a few days so others have the chance to give input. Offa29 (talk) 16:57, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Emily clearly uses they/them pronouns, as on their instagram and their TikTok their pronouns are listed solely as “they”. Also posts from their friends and girlfriend refer to them as “They/themily Carey”. I would also add that on their TikTok and Instagram, they have referred to themself as a lesbian, and shared posts of the lesbian flag, as recently as 5 days ago. So I would update their sexuality to lesbian as well. 2601:602:77E:5890:40D4:B7C6:4614:19F6 (talk) 01:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
