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 men. 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.

Transgender

Per the biography of living persons guidelines, controversial statement that are not backed up by sources may be removed immediately. If you wish to add Silveira to the Category:Transgender and transsexual musicians, it must be sourced. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 13:55, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That couldn't be easier, I challange you to find an article about the Cliks that's dated 2007 and doesn't mention that Lucas is a transman. The presumption that this is "controversial" is borderline offensive. -- AvatarMN 07:12, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't I know it! The same situation would be true, though, about Paul Lynde (if he were still alive). BLP states you can't put a person in an LGBT category without a reference. Go figure. Anyway, thanks for finding the source! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 22:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect assertion

"Silveira is the first openly transgender or transsexual person signed to a major music label."

What about Wendy Carlos? She's been recording for DECADES and while I don't think it was plastered all over the front pages, I don't think she's done anything to hide the fact she was born Walter. I can't think of any other examples offhand, but surely there must be other examples.

And so this sentence is removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.136.139 (talk) 17:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And yet, now it looks to be edited to say that he is an overtly transgender male. What, exactly, is an overt transgender? This moniker seems to mimic flaming as applied to an offensive description of gay men. Also, the cited article fails to support this assertion. It only mentions that Silveira may become "the first transgendered pop heartthrob" in mainstream culture. To say he is the first overtly transgender male to be signed to a label seems a far reach, at best, and the use of overt leaves me wondering about the contributor's personal thoughts on LGBT individuals rather than actually imparting facts about them.

ok seriously this page needs to be updated since there is soooo much information about Lucas now

I have read in two articles/interviews of Lucas that he was the first openly trans man to be signed to a record label, not trans person overall. ^[1] ^[2] This is a possible addition. Mtjames20 (talk) 21:26, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Lucas Silveira Wikipedia Page

Good Afternoon; We are currently trying to clarify the information presented on the page regarding Mr. Silveira. Would it be possible for the folks editing the page(s) to contact him directly? We truly appreciate your help!

I'm not sure, but it sounds like you professionally represent Lucas Silveira (or perhaps you are Lucas Silveira). If that's true, our guidelines on how to deal with a conflict of interest (COI) say that you should propose changes here, on this page. Wikipedia values transparency, so email tends not to be used for this purpose. If, however, you feel that you need to privately contact someone at Wikipedia, you can follow these instructions. I hope this helps. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:15, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No date of birth?

How come this page lacks date of birth? 24.41.153.39 (talk) 03:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's not always easy to find this kind of information in reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:54, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
