The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

I fixed many pronoun arrors on this page. Michelle Dumaresq is female and should be addressed with female pronouns. In all other articles I have seen relating to a transgendered person, their identified gender pronouns were used.70.17.166.2716:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

IMO the majority of this section in this article should be ported somewhere else, e.g., under the SRS article as it has doesn't have much to do with Dumaresq that it wouldn't have to do with everyone else that has transitioned MtF. -Yupik07:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I reverted the change of pronouns due to the lack of discussion. There is no strict policy on the issue, but you can find debates of what pronouns to use for transsexuals here and to a lesser extent here. The consensus would seem to point towards using what the person in question feels comfortable with. Other articles follow this so I don't see a reason why this article should not.
