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

E. R. Fightmaster clearly states on their social media that their preferred pronouns are they/them, but (I assume) trolls keep changing the page to say she and inserting inconsiderate remarks about their gender identity… I will keep an eye on this page but I don’t know what else I can do about it as I am new to the Wikipedia community and this issue on this page seems to be ongoing AnkhWizzard (talk) 22:04, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! If the disruption persists, I'll submit a request for page protection—probably limiting it to what's known as "semi-protection" to prevent edits by users who aren't logged in, since that's where the disruption is coming from. Thanks for noting the problem. Largoplazo (talk) 22:17, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the correct place or not, but I couldn't find a way to mention either topic, so please bear with me. Firstly, I can't cite the episodes, however, the character that E.R. Fightmaster played on Grey's Anatomy, Kai, was not the 1st non-binary character to be introduced to the show, and not even the 1st to appear in more than 1 episode. The first non-binary character was a teenager who ended up in the hospital with their mother twice, the 1st time after a snowmobile accident and the 2nd when a stem-cell therapy that could turn the mother's quadriplegia into paraplegia was found. Second, the reason I searched E.R. Fightmaster today was to learn their birth sex out of pure curiosity with all respect to their gender after rewatching old Grey's Anatomy episodes. I respect that E.R Fightmaster is nonbinary and that it would be entirely inappropriate to label them otherwise, I just thought that I would see something that would clue me into their birth sex under the "early life and career" section (ei. "born 'insert name'", as most actor's wiki pages do). It's sad that the only way to satisfy my non-judgemental curiosity in this article was this section right here where it is mentioned that protection would be added to the page due to people disrespectfully editing. It actually does seem a tiny bit judgemental to leave out their birth name from the "Early Life" section because any actor that had changed only their name and not their pronouns would have that in their wiki article.

An actor who chooses a stage name isn't seeking to assert that the identity assigned to them early in life was mistaken, an unfortunate mask hiding what has been their real identity all along. Largoplazo (talk) 08:17, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pages with titles like "Emily Fightmaster Partner, Real Name, Age, Height, Wiki, Biography, Net Worth, Gender & More" are scraped-together masses of unscrutinzed data that aren't reliable sources. That doesn't mean the date isn't correct, but it means we can't rely on it based on that source. Largoplazo (talk) 10:42, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of the article (this one, Wikipedia) there is a link to E.R. Fightmaster's IMDB page. I don't know if that is considered a reliable source, but their birthdate is listed as June 8, 1992. 2600:6C60:4000:A585:C598:BE4E:4614:8C7 (talk) 20:54, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source. It's like a wiki, bios are unreviewed user-generated contributions. Largoplazo (talk) 10:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove "(also accredited as Emily Fightmaster)" This is not relevant to their career and fuels hate towards them. Do not deadname trans and non-binary celebrities. JJwikiedit (talk) 14:38, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:45, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's easier then edit summaries. I'd originally thought the same @Largoplazo:, but I think it was just an artifact of the original article. Should it be rev-deled? Not sure policy on that aspect of deadnaming. Star Mississippi 15:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name and gender. Why not?

Untill ze (I think that's how its used) decided to be non binary, they were a girl. So why can't I get her birth name , and the fact she was raised as a girl. Then go on to write, they declared themselves non binary at such and such a time. As for the "trolls", if they were only changing theys to hers in early life. Then thats not trolling. It's factual. If they changed the pronouns thought the point of their declaration, then yes those are trolls and should be shunned untill they join the 21st century. 70.30.190.225 (talk) 11:58, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's the guideline that has been established for the whole encyclopedia. See MOS:GENDERID. For people who weren't noted under their earlier name, it's treated as a matter of privacy. Largoplazo (talk) 13:30, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar Edits

Misuse of pronouns suggest you are talking about more than one person. 2603:301B:2403:900:2011:C4D3:AF4A:7A5 (talk) 17:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds that way who aren't used to the new singular use of "they". There was a time when "you" was only the plural form ("thou" was the singular) for the second person. Then some people started using "you" as a singular term of respect, like "vous" in French. Over the years, people got more and more used to it as a singular as well. Nowadays, how many people use "thou"? So singular "they" is not misuse, it's an intentional new use. If your intent here was to ask for it to be changed in the article, it won't be.

PLEASE CHANGE (Deadnamed)

Please can someone change the 'born' section to exclude their dead name as it is disrespectful and instead change it to 'Emmet' as that is their chosen name. Thanks x Quinn09 (talk) 16:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:DEADNAME. People who were notable under earlier names (including trans people's dead names) have been documented under those names and are going to be looked up under those names. Sources cited to verify information about their earlier lives identify them by those names, so it needs to be clear that they're about the person being discussed. It's purely informational, there's no suggestion that it's OK to call them by those names now. Largoplazo (talk) 20:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
