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 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 LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

Gender identity

The moment wikipedia began to embrace gender insanity instead of the facts, wikipedia became less of a reliable actual encyclopedia.

This is literally insane that people are being censored for editing this article to CORRECTLY refer to a woman as a woman because of her choice of a fashionable "label" instead of understanding that she is in fact a woman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.11.55.112 (talk) 22:17, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's literally insane? Not figuratively insane? How about metaphorically insane? :-)

Stodden's status as a woman has not been "censored", nor has anything in the article. The issue I believe you're referring to is her gender identity, which has nothing to do with "fashion". Referring to subjects by aspects of gender identity that they have indicated is entirely reasonable, as it merely reflects common practices in society pertaining to non-binary individuals. Nightscream (talk) 19:21, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:GENDERID, her personal pronoun of choice would appear to be the "singular they." The opinions of individual editors not withstanding. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:33, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gender identity is not real. It is a mental illnes we as a society have embraced because a lot of mentally ill people were given degrees from colleges seeking to make a profit and a mark on society. Now the insane are running the asylum. This is why nobody takes academia, degrees or science even as serious as they should... Facts dont care about yoir feelings. Stop writing feelings as if they are reality. 173.72.147.13 (talk) 20:31, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I jumped on as was confused whether the article was referring to the individual or a couple. She uses She/Her, like all females do. This should be used for the sake of objective clarity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.148.81.130 (talk) 21:58, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Stodden uses singular they pronouns, per this source, as indicated in the article. Nightscream (talk) 21:56, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

article says she uses "she/they". this makes no sense; they are both NOMINATIVE pronouns!

even if she's mixing pronouns, it would be "she/them". and if she's using "she" for nominative in any case, whole article needs to be reverted to remove all the "theys". 2601:19C:527F:A660:7DC9:8243:EC0E:7995 (talk) 12:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

you’re really gonna be a grammar dick about this? she/they is common shorthand for “she/her + they/them”, and you clearly already know that. why are you being intentionally obtuse just to invalidate someone’s identity? it doesn’t affect you at all. LeahAChase (talk) 17:28, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hesitate to wade into this, but is there a hatnote template that can be placed on an article that uses the "singular they", to "warn" people who might otherwise see such use as a typo? (I did, until I saw that this person uses the singular they.) Jimw338 (talk) 21:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People that want to use "singular they" should create a whole new word because they is plural, not singular. It's too confusing and obtuse to have it be both singular and plural. 70.161.8.90 (talk) 11:52, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's grammatically incorrect to use the word they or their when referring to one person. When referring to herself, she uses "I", which is correct, instead of we. This whole gender ideology is exactly as it seems.... Complete BS. 2600:1011:B32A:516B:0:8:19F9:601 (talk) 21:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is borderline unreadable from the passage "was born...to Krista Kay Keller and Alex John Stodden. They have two sisters, Ashley and Brittany, 9 and 11 years older than Stodden. Stodden describes their childhood..." onward. Who has/have two sisters? Whose childhood? Just the subject's? Just the two sisters mentioned? All three sisters?

Leaving aside the issue of whether this person even warrants a Wiki, the pronoun business is just a mess. It's awful writing, unclear writing, arrogant writing, and borderline illiterate writing. Return to grammatical pronouns and clear writing, using words the way 99% of the English-speaking world actually uses those words. Stop eroding Wikipedia's reputation by indulging this stupidity. 2601:C2:1600:5E0:D8EA:35AE:1D5:AFF2 (talk) 05:08, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change “ According to Stodden, the couple enrolled in therapy to resolve issues that arose from their big difference marriage in age.[26]” to “ According to Stodden, the couple enrolled in therapy to resolve ”age-difference issues such as communication…”.[26]” to correct grammar and use Stodden’s quote from the article. 76.249.132.145 (talk) 02:10, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not actually sure that the IP is asking for here, but i have undone a previous edit which blatantly ignored and removed the hidden comment stating that "they/their" pronouns should be used in this article. This action may have answered the request, but i'm leaving it as is for now. Happy days, ~ Lindsay^Hello 10:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's almost certainly what was intended – marking as answered. Tollens (talk) 06:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
