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 non-binary people. 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. Many, but not all, non-binary 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.

Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story (book) → Sissy (book) – WP:BOOKDAB; no other book shares the same title: subtitle disambiguator not necessary nor is the WP:COMMONNAME. redirects made before this article's creation are in the way and are likely the reason this page is even located at the this over-dabbed title.

Support a move but would prefer Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story, per WP:NCDAB: Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation. Sissy (book) is my second choice. WanderingWanda (talk) 23:11, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I can support that, especially since the subtitle is unique and often mentioned alongside it rather than the generic "A Memoir" usually tacked on by publishers. I grieve in stereo (talk) 23:41, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - part of the title In ictu oculi (talk) 17:43, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- As discussed above, (book) is clearly an unnecessary disambiguation. I would have changed my request by now but I wasn't sure how and editing my previous text didn't seem like the right way to go about it. I grieve in stereo (talk) 18:24, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:SUBTITLE and WP:BOOKDAB. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 04:48, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving to "Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story" per WP:NCDAB. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 05:01, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
