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 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 LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 2 times. The weeks in which this happened:

I can't see the problem...

...here, with dead names and so on.

Why not just doing it this way: Before their transitions they are called with their male names and films or anything else they did after their transitions they are called by their female names.

Maybe you went through all this already but to me this seems to be not such a bad solution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.55.76.247 (talk) 20:01, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To me, it seems a bad solution. See MOS:GENDERID, particularly "Refer to any person whose gender might be questioned with gendered words (e.g. pronouns, "man/woman", "waiter/waitress") that reflect the person's latest expressed gender self-identification as reported in the most recent reliable sources, even if it does not match what is most common in sources. This holds for any phase of the person's life, unless they have indicated a preference otherwise." Firefangledfeathers 21:20, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@78.55.76.247 It's a problem because transpeople don't want their gender assigned at birth and deadname plastered over the internet. It's disrespectful to our entire sense of identity. We want nothing to do with our dead names, are trying to leave that aspect of our pasts behind and most of us would be horrified to find a Wikipedia page referring to us by the wrong gender and name. We call it a dead name for a reason. It's dead to us!

I'm sorry but WP:DEADNAME is our policy. We're en encyclopedia and as they were notable under their deadnames it warrants inclusion. — Czello 18:05, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mickey Ray Mahoney

"In 2016, Lilly mentioned having a boyfriend. In 2019, she said Mickey Ray Mahoney became her partner and moved in with her." Had to read this sentence a few times before I realized that "her" refers to Lilly. Couldn't tell if it was "she said ... and moved" or "Mahoney became ... and moved" Maybe a rewrite for clarity? --2607:FEA8:FF01:4B63:40D8:D86D:E84F:5735 (talk) 16:00, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

chart color contrast

the chart background colors do not have enough contrast to the color of the text within each cell. this is particularly noticeable for the cells with yellow background color. text color should be changed appropriately. Aasci (talk) 08:49, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I commented out this section as it was completely uncited. ALL AWARDS REQUIRE CITATIONS. Skyerise (talk) 17:31, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lana and Lilly

As I have understood they do not do their things together anymore, and would be easier to have their own articles (or third article about their work together). Is it possible? --130.232.239.43 (talk) 12:20, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Im not entirely familiar with this side of WP procedure but from what I understand you would need an RFC(?) to split the article. Googleguy007 (talk) 02:05, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
