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.

Frequently asked questions

Please read the following FAQs before posting.

Q: Why doesn’t this article include her former name?

A: Per WP:DEADNAME: "If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists. Treat the pre-notability name as a privacy interest."

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Change "As the first openly transgender state senator in the country, she is the highest-ranking transgender elected official in United States history." to "As the first openly transgender state senator in the country, she was the highest-ranking transgender elected official in United States history at the time of her inauguration. McBride is one of only two openly transgender state senators nationwide, the other being Danica Roem of Virginia.^[1]" 173.79.133.194 (talk) 02:14, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - As McBride became a state senator before Danica Roem, she is still the highest-ranking elected official in the United States order of precedence as the ranking is based on first the position (which they share), and then by length of service, which places McBride above Roem.
