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 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

Notability?

Pronoun choice

Is there any evidence Karen Dior preferred masculine pronouns? If not it seems somewhat disrespectful to use them throughout the article.--holizz (talk) 10:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote and sourced the article and previous versions referred to Dior as a "he". I also went by what the sources referred to Dior as (they also used "he"). I've no idea what Dior personally preferred, but if it's an issue, I have no problem with the pronoun being changed. Pinkadelica ^{Say it...} 11:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Bring a drag queen just means he was a female impersonator, not a trans woman. Karen still appeared as Geoffrey throughout his life. I could find no evidence that he was transgender, so I think masculine pronouns are correct. AniKitt (talk) 09:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Karen Dior was the stage name of a female impersonator, not the chosen name of a trans woman. Since Geoffrey doesn't have a page separate from his persona, it feels disrespectful to erase his masculine identity in this one. AniKitt (talk) 09:07, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
