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.
This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourcedmust be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

What was Zooey's birthname? I ask because if it is different it has encyclopedic importance for a politician--it allows encyclopedia writers know what name to search for for events before the birthname. Academicskeptic9 (talk) 14:37, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So she just appeared fully formed in her present iteration? With the family name of Zephyr? If this is Wikipedia policy, I have a serious problem with it. Other legislators and public figures don't have their pre-notable histories blacked out. Discretion to the point of intellectual dishonesty is unacceptable. 98.206.87.210 (talk) 03:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"When this remark triggered an objection from a Republican lawmaker," should this be edited to say what that remark is and name Sue Vinton for making it? 72.196.233.42 (talk) 12:21, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If Vinton also has a WP article, she could be named. Given that her floor objection was relatively minor compared to Regier’s behavior and the stuff the Freedom Caucus did, it’s important not to give her actions undue weight. Montanabw(talk) 15:26, 25 April 2023 (UTC) Follow up I added Vinton’s name, linked her article, and noted her status as majority leader. The Washington Post source I added also contains video of the entire interaction. Montanabw(talk)18:07, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Given that Vinton is a sitting member of a state legislature, an article could be created if there are editors interested in giving any time to do that. For example, every incumbent member of the California State Legislature with the exception of one has their own article on Wikipedia. Jay Coop·Talk·Contributions21:13, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Zephyr decided to run for state representative in the 2022 mid-term elections after watching bills pass through the state senate with one-vote margins that they believed were discriminatory against transgender people"
