Dragona Joestar's gender identity

There seems to be a dispute about Dragona Joestar's gender identity. The article said "sibling" and used they/them pronouns, then it said "brother" and used he/him pronouns, and now it has been switched again to "sibling" and they/them pronouns. In the manga itself, Dragona Joestar is consistently referred to with masculine pronouns by Jodio, and Jodio calls him his brother consistently, while Dragona himself uses the effeminate pronoun atashi. Does anyone have any opinions on which pronouns they believe should be used at this point? JM2023 (talk) 09:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is a difficult situation. Gender-neutral is not an incorrect approach, but the story has also so far only presented Dragona as Jodio's feminine brother. If I were the only editor, I would probably have gone for "he/him" based on the currently available information - but I do understand others' point and think the best might be to just leave it as-is until future chapters hopefully (very likely imo) clarify things.--Alexandra^IDV 07:28, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's worth clarifying that the Screenrant article you link actually specifies that Jodio uses masc pronouns for Dragona and that other characters (haven't read any of the new chapters yet myself, so I have no idea how many characters that is) use gender neutral pronouns for Dragona. I point this out because it's more complicated than your brief description, even. I ultimately agree that it's probably best to wait for clarification, though, and to just stick to gender neutral pronouns in the meantime. Dfsghjkgfhdg (talk) 20:36, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the WP:BOLD step of changing Dragona's pronouns to he/him. At this point, Dragona's brother and mother have both consistently referred to Dragona with he/him pronouns and as Jodio's big brother. Also, JoJoWiki (which is NOT a "Fandom/Wikia" wiki, but more like the main unofficial English fan site) has apparently come to the same conclusion, stating the following on Dragona's page there:

Dragona is stated as "older brother" (兄) in the volume introduction page, magazine introduction page, the JoJo-Portal website, and JOJO magazine 2023 WINTER. Note that the pronouns used in this article are based on current sources and may be subject to change in the future.
