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.

Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act → Nancy Mace's transphobic campaign – There are dozen sources referencing Mace's campaign as transphobic/anti-trans. It is biased to change the title based on a whim that ignores overwhelming sources. Also, re-naming the article to just 1 section of the described subject is too narrow.

Move to Nancy Mace's campaign against transgender women. She specifically targeted a transwoman, Sarah McBride. Theparties (talk) 06:17, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy oppose as a clear violation of WP:NPOV. The second proposal is slightly more neutral, but still a violation of NPOV in my opinion. Esolo5002 (talk) 07:08, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I take it that misgendering McBride isn't transphobic but McBride has a mental illness according to Megyn Kelly. If this is the WP standard, why don't we re-direct "misgendering" to the mental disorder article for neutrality or create an article presenting the Megyn Kelly standard as the neutral viewpoint?

I didn't say it wasn't transphobic, but it's still a violation of NPOV. Esolo5002 (talk) 17:21, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral on specific names, but the proposed names are a clear violation of WP:POVTITLE which is why (per WP:RMUM) I reverted the previous undiscussed move to Nancy Mace's 2024 transphobic campaign. I understand Arbeiten8's point that the current title does not reflect the current scope of the article, but in my opinion that reflects an issue with the article not having a clearly defined scope rather than an issue with the title.:Jay8g [V•T•E] 07:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
