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.
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.
This article needs a serious overhaul and updating. The BLP is notable for inclusion for both a career under the name: David Beucher and Sara Davis Buechner. Deadnames aside, sources that back content claims (competitions, education, etc) associated with this time period must be included in this article for verification. Present day bios or artist profiles directly associated with the BLP are not allowed. Likewise, articles such as NYTIMES, Philadelphia Inquirer, Canton Rep, NYTIMES Magazine, Arkansas Online, xtra magazine, et al need to be included to better represent the BLPs transition and how that incorporates into their career, life and education within the LGBT community. Finally, articles that highlight, review, detail the BLP's present day concert career: OUT CLIQUE, NY Concert Review, NYTIMES Review, etc need to be included. I've removed links that are WP:PRIMARY or deadlink. It doesn't leave much. This BLP deserves a better article than this. IMHO. Maineartists (talk) 04:01, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Buechner was not “assigned male at birth.” Buechner was born a male and, as a matter of biology, remains one. The term “assigned” as used here is not only irrational and misleading, but deeply offensive. 108.48.37.28 (talk) 15:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The term "assigned" is the best way to handle this at WP. To say one is "born" male / female they first have to be "observed" and then "assigned" by a midwife, nurse, physician, or other medical professional. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to say "Buechner was born a male". There would be no record of it. There is no malice or intent to offend when using the term "assigned". Perception may be individual and personal to each reader, but WP must remain neutral in its writing. See WP Sex assignment. Maineartists (talk) 16:19, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
