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.

Change Bio picture?

Hi there,

I am unsure of how to do this, but I think it would be great to change the Bio pic for this article to a more recent one that aligns with Gavin's gender identity. She came out this month as a trans* woman, and has released a photo in which her gender expression appears to more closely match her gender identity than the photo currently on the page. ^[1]

Thanks, Quick kale (talk) 23:33, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Based on WP:NFCC, you may be able to make the argument that there's no free equivalent available as there are no free photographs of her with her preferred gender expression. --ChiveFungi (talk) 00:44, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name in lead

The birth name should be included in lead due to extensive prior notability, as recommended in MOS:CHANGEDNAME. This article was created in 2010 using that name, and remained using it for 9 years. -- Netoholic @ 12:23, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Professionally Known as Rayna Russom" is incorrect

Rayna has repeatedly explained in interviews and her social media that she does not use the name Rayna Russom professionally. She uses either the full name Gavilán Rayna Russom or the single name Rayna but never Rayna Russom or Gavilán. Here is one of several sources supporting this: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPNVibFGxB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link 2603:7000:1301:97E0:29BB:6C11:E1D2:4AC1 (talk) 02:38, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
