Non-binary

OK, I came in to do some cleanup after seeing the low-level edit-warring around the pronouns. It is sourced in the interview with MJ Rodriquez that Moore identifies as non-binary. So, we're going with those pronouns and categories. This is a bit more difficult when it comes to putting categories on the article, as some of the categories are currently divided solely on the binary. However, "actor" and "model" themselves are gender-neutral terms, even though the former doesn't always carry that connotation to all readers. Many women insist on being called "actors", as it's the original term, and "actress" was only added later in history. I checked and other people who identify as non-binary are in the "actor" categories, so, unless and until we have a "Non-binary actors" category, I guess it's simply "actors", unless someone has an idea that fits better with the sourcing. I also put in a pull quote where Moore opines on this a bit. Best, -

Thanks for those improvements. (Asia Kate Dillon is the first article I can recall someone moving into the top-level category; it does seem necessary as long as the subcategories are split into such a strict binary.)
Btw, If you have the energy, another article to look into is Rain Dove; I'm going to comment on that talk page. -sche (talk) 05:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Moore just re-stated on Twitter today that they use singular they pronouns. Putting this here for the record. Funcrunch (talk) 18:06, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UNDUE to mention their pronouns in the lead. Their pronouns were only explicitly mentioned in the lead to get editors to stop changing them, but this sort of info doesn’t typically get mentioned in the lead. Thoughts? Umimmak (talk) 12:56, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply

@Umimmak: As I mentioned elsewhere, my unfortunate experience is that editors who are against singular they pronouns (or simply ignorant of them) tend to misgender nb subjects regardless of leads, editnotices, or talk page discussions. Funcrunch (talk) 18:11, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since when did the academic community or wikicommunity for that matter change proper grammar to fit the sensibilities of the person being described? Wiki doesn't refer to race, why alter gender pronoun references?2600:8803:BE00:1D5:AC4D:7C16:728F:988D (talk) 04:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this person being referred to as them/ they... So inconsiderate to the LGBTQ Community.. Use the CORRECT pronouns.. SHE/HER

This article needs grammar revision as to correct misgendering towards a trans person.

Are you refering to the Prose Television series section? Moore's character (I think) has she/her pronouns.

When the article says "is an actor" it must say "is an actress", telling that Indya Moore is an actor it's not only an incorrect, also it's a way of showing transphobia ¡It's Transphobia!

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. "Actor" is often regarded as gender-neutral and preferred by many performers regardless of gender identification. See, for example, the Merriam-Webster, Oxford English, and American Heritage dictionaries. Presuming that "actor" is reflective of a male identity is as transphobic as presuming the opposite. Unless and until we have any definite statement from the subject any assumption on our parts of the professional label preferred is projecting our gender assumptions onto that person. Given that they have stated a clear preference for they/them/theirs, it is inappropriate to assume that they prefer actor or actress. Gender erasure goes both ways.

These kinds of requests (and edits before the page was semi-protected) come up frequently from well-meaning readers who assume that Indya is a trans woman, even though the first paragraph of the article clearly states that they are non-binary and go by they/them pronouns. I'd suggest putting a permanent notice about it on the talk page, but I doubt that would get the requests to stop either. Funcrunch (talk) 01:22, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’m requesting that you change Indya Moore’s listed pronouns from they/them to she/they. On Moore’s instagram and Twitter, it is listed that her pronouns are both she/her and they/them. Sources: https://instagram.com/indyamoore?igshid=pdapa3n4oxsz and Cynthia Silva of NBC news wrote “The actor, who uses they/them and she/her pronouns, according to their Twitter bio, has been a vocal advocate for the transgender community, and Moore often uses their platform to highlight the difficult realities of trans Americans.“ 2600:6C50:1A3F:F178:301C:776A:FEB3:B401 (talk) 05:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The page says she identifies as non-binary and uses she/they but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Her Instagram bio has the pronouns her/she listed. I think the entire paragraph about her pronouns can be removed since there's no need to specify her pronouns as a binary trans woman. In a recent post she wrote the caption " Indya Moore. Actor." so the use of "actor" instead of "actress" is still in alignment with how she describes herself. 2A02:2F0E:5D10:9B00:1B9:E8EF:4BFB:339E (talk) 19:32, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: The she/her in her bio doesn't rule out she/they. I think that at least an explicit statement of her new pronoun preferences would be necessary to support this change. small jars tc 23:22, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She is an actress not an actor. Please correct the word so it doesn't sound transphobic. Thank you. 2806:1016:C:6398:8C9F:24F4:228:2CFD (talk) 06:55, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
