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.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

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.

Peter Torokvei transitioned from male to female beginning in 2001, and was known for the rest of her life as PJ Torokvei. See http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/remembering-pj-torokvei-comedy-genius-582318 adn http://www.secondcity.com/about/news/detail/1548692134423998525/12804014331068708/ for examples. Thus, I have moved this page from Peter Torokvei to PJ Torokvei. The redirect from Peter Torokvei should be left in place, since most (if not all) of her professional credits were under that name. However, since this was the name she used at death, I think this is the appropriate name for the page. GeoGreg (talk) 16:13, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Protocol: his/hers

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm not sure of the protocol here. Torokvei's entire career as a writer, performer and producer was as Peter Torokvei, but this article seems to waffle back and forth between identifying "her" achievements and "his" achievements, with no reference to a comprehensible timeline. "She" was nominated for an Emmy in 1982, but "he" died in 2013? This is *clearly* wrong -- but I would like to reach some sort of consensus on the appropriate way to change this before any changes are made. 70.30.24.46 (talk) 06:51, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
