This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more non-binary people. 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. Many, but not all, non-binary 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 LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |

"They"? and intersex status
editMaybe Pagonis labels himself/herself as "they", but that is his/her choice, not everyone else's choice. To be honest, the "they" term makes it overly complicated to read the article.
Unless Pagonis is a hermafrodite, he/she must have a dominant biological gender. The article doesn't say anything about Pagonis own intersex status or gender biology. From what is told in the article as is, it appears that the male gender was the biologically dominant gender in Pagonis. I think it is essential to include in the article. That is objective info and Pagonis can call himself whatever he wants, that's all up to him. RhinoMind (talk) 06:11, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed. Replace a few of those pronouns with "their" name, maybe. --2003:F4:1BCB:9C01:9890:BA6E:8C2:B257 (talk) 19:05, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- Wikipedia uses pronouns according to self-identification. If Pagonis wants people to use they/them pronouns, Wikipedia will use they/them pronouns for them. See MOS:GENDERID. Judith Sunrise (talk) 16:01, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
Pidgeon doesn’t have AIS
editPidgeon posted on twitter saying they probably don’t have AIS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CycoMa (talk • contribs) 18:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- I saw the same info as you and went on to edit the article. I hope it was not premature?--FirTre (talk) 17:55, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
What does "queer" mean in this context?
editThe article reads "Pagonis, who is queer and nonbinary ..." and I have to wonder what "queer" means in this context. In common parlance, "queer" is synonymous with "homosexual," that is someone who has sex with persons of the same sex, but as Pagonis is neither sex this is anomalous. If, on the other hand, we take the Wikipedia definition "Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual and cisgendered" then going on to describe Pagonis as "nonbinary" would be redundant and, again, anomalous. If Pagonis has a public sexual orientation, then it ought to be included in the article, but if this is private information, then using the word "queer" is just smoke and mirrors.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dutchman Schultz (talk • contribs) 6:49, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- The description is cited and sourced from the subject's own words in this article: "The following is a list of considerations highlighting the pros and cons that I — a non-binary queer intersex person — find myself contemplating each time I’m asked about this question." Funcrunch (talk) 16:06, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Gosh, this article does NOTHING to clarify what "queer" means in this context.R.M. Schultz (talk) 07:34, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
“[…] was told they had ovarian cancer *despite* having no ovaries but undescended testes”
editI apparently received "multiple blocks" which will "expire in three years" for putting a ? With citations to the fact that ALL fetuses begin female and therefore ALL people have ovarian cells/tissue and therefore ALL people can get and even die from ovarian cancer. So saying they were diagnosed with skin cancer "despite" not having ovaries is inappropriate. I know two such AMAB men, anecdotally, who died of ovarian cancer and can assure everyone this is a biological fact… is this recent sudden block to do with something political/indirectly related? 2601:603:1E7F:3F70:5117:F209:84D3:2352 (talk) 09:47, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
