Gender identity?

When this article was written, apparently great pains were taken with the wording so that it reads gender-neutral. On Democracy Now, Sycamore is identified as "she" while others use masculine pronouns. Does anyone have a reference in which Sycamore claims a gender identity? If no such statement exists, should the article simply be left as it is? 192.234.13.61 (talk) 15:13, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, nevermind. This NPR interview addresses this topic clearly. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127740436 - Sycamore identifies as Gender Queer, and prefers the gender pronoun "she". I'm going to modify the article to reflect that. 192.234.13.61 (talk) 15:18, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to back this up, in the collection Nobody Passes Mattilda says she identifies as femme and uses feminine pronouns. Puffingbird (talk) 12:10, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Attended Brown University

This person soooo looks like a guy who was in a class I took in undergrad. I wonder if this artist attended Brown. I didn't see anything on her website about her educational background. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:4080:1A:95FF:88E7:DC2F:CE2A (talk) 05:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
