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. |
Contested deletion
[edit]This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (The subject is a billionaire, the founder of the Pritzker Military Library, a military veteran, a noted philanthropist, and a pioneer for transgender rights) --Patapsco913 (talk) 02:11, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
- I left a note on the taggers page. Sorry to put you through the aggravation. Dlohcierekim 02:14, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
- No problem. I was not sure what name to use to create the article but after I saw numerous articles stating that he had legally changed his name and come out publically I figured that I would go with that. He was the last of the Pritzker billionaires without an article...and actually, him coming out has made it harder to do the background research due to all the clutter; anyhow, given this guys courage in coming out and his stellar military record, this guy definitely deserves his own wikipage.Patapsco913 (talk)
Military service and achievements in -which?- uniform
[edit]Under the heading Career is a timeline description of J.N. Pritzker's military service and promotions in rank between 1974 and 2001, in the U.S. Army, the Army Reserves, and the Illinois Army National Guard, and then a detailed description of awards received while in uniform. Given the MOS:IDENTITY guidelines at the top of this (Talk:Jennifer N. Pritzker) page that require "using the gendered nouns and pronouns (e.g., "she", "her") that "reflect [her] latest expressed gender self-identification." This applies in references to any phase of her life..." - it's impossible for the reader to know whether she served as a man male or a woman female. Given the highly gendered nature of military service and the consequences for women, homosexuals and transgenders in the military, I respectfully submit that this matter is relevant to understanding her biography, and that this content is being sacrificed to serve a semantic convention. I'd appreciate guidance from the WikiProject Military history and any other participating WikiProjects. -- Deborahjay (talk) 21:25, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- Her announcement was made in August 2013. Basically, she transferred in to the retired reserve in 2001, when she was 50 years old. This was some 12 or 13 years before the announcement. Thus the math shows she served as a male. (FYI, she would not have started receiving retired pay until she was 60 years old. Her retired military identification card (DD Form 2) will not have any reference to her gender.) – S. Rich (talk) 00:04, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
- That's a helpful explication. I've also corrected the language of my query (see strikethroughs, above). -- Deborahjay (talk) 05:13, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
Edits of this day
[edit]The edits done are clearly laid out in the edit summaries (mostly citation work, but some structural work adding sections, inserting missing sources, removing sources unsupportive of content appearing, correcting text to sources, and adding a few further details from new sources, esp. on enlisted career, and regarding children). Remaining issues are indicated by the article and section tags (lack of sources, dates, etc.). Note, the article inexplicably fails to state a precise date of birth. Three further closing comments expand on what is called for in particular tags.
First, given the nature of a Reserve commitment [see Career section, and preceding Talk section, @Deborahjay:@Srich32977:@Bmclaughlin9:], that section, and so the article has largely ignored 90% of Pritzker's time over this 16 year period of her 22 year career as an officer—because, apart from deployments (none of which are listed), the reserve commitment is two weeks per annum, and one weekend each month. To begin to remedy this, I added a new paragraph, with dates and activities that appear to have gone on in parallel to the Reserve service (founding of Tawani Enterprises and Foundation, and founding of the Military Library and Museum), and listed two stray business/political affiliations without dates, from one source. What were her professional activities in the remainder of her time over that period? Whether philanthropy, business, or otherwise, they need to be reported.
Second, the relevance of the "Family business" section was called into question, because some clear contributors to the JNP's fortune are omitted (e.g., the divested Hyatt stake, which appears in a citation but not in text); moreover, the relationship of other listed family business divestitures to JNP's wealth is unclear. Hence, I called for a careful, journalistic deconvolution of this section's material, and until this can be done, I added a closing line to tentatively make the section relevant to JNP.
Third, but untagged, I echo the point of the preceding Talk section: At very least, the 2013 announcement must be mentioned in the lede, so that one does not misconstrue the childhood and pre-announcement Career information.
- Done Added a closing sentence to the to make explicit the meaning of the appearance of the two, apparently gender-differing names in the opening sentence of the lede. The sentence added was derived directly from the announcement/quote that appears at the close of the article. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 20:36, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Looked in, sorry to see so little attention of late. Will look to see if there is anything I can offer. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 02:19, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
First wife
[edit]It is unencyclopedic to state that Pritzker fathered a named child by an unnamed first wife. Who was the first wife that she fathered a child with? Edison (talk) 04:01, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
Word Games
[edit]It's inappropriate to call [misgendering removed] "her" or a "woman". --105.12.0.254 (talk) 10:38, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- Per the MOS, it is appropriate. So you can post your dissent in the talk page there, or start your own online encyclopedia where you can use whatever pronouns you like. Blackhawk003 (talk) 02:00, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with 254--it kind of changes history in a kind of Orwellian way to say she did this and that, when in fact [misgendering removed] was male and presenting and identifying as male at the time. Academicskeptic9 (talk) 07:10, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Noting that I removed misgendering above as per WP:TPG, WP:GENDERID, and WP:BLP. lizthegrey (talk) 22:04, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- You are in a cult. Academicskeptic9 (talk) 11:41, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
'Grew up' as granddaughter or grandson
[edit]She transitioned when she was 63 so she 'grew up' as a grandson not a granddaughter. I think the phrase: "She grew up as the [...] granddaughter of family patriarch..." needs changing. Her grandfather never knew her as a girl (in fact she was never a girl!) I will change it unless someone can show me a guideline saying I should not. Darmot and gilad (talk) 13:18, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- You can change to grandchild to avoid needing to worry about this :) see MOS:GID for longer guidance. lizthegrey (talk) 16:43, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

"Jewish Pritzker family" - a strange single qualifier to use
[edit]@Patapsco913, I saw you reverted my change. I don't have any objection to saying that Pritzker is Jewish herself/of Jewish descent. I just think it's weird to reference it as "the Jewish Pritzker family". It's true that the Pritzker family's origins are Jewish, but this is hardly the most notable, unique or defining characteristic for an encyclopedia. The "billionaire Pritzker family" is probably more informative to the reader. Can we agree on: "As a granddaughter of A. N. Pritzker, she is a member of the Pritzker family, one of the wealthiest families in the United States." And appending of the end of the early life section "Pritzker is Jewish." Fair enough? Samuelshraga (talk) 13:31, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
