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. |

| This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more transgender people. 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 biographical article uses the pronouns she/her/they/them. See https://twitter.com/ezrafurman. |
Ezra Furman's website expresses a preference for he/him/his - though it states that other pronouns are acceptable. Is there a reason for preferring they/them/their? Has Ezra Furman made a more recent statement asking for 'they' to be used instead? 95.147.225.14 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:26, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Yes, she has. She made a Facebook post & said that she uses both she/her & he/him pronouns, and that they/them didn't feel right. https://www.facebook.com/ezrafurmantheperson/posts/10101745933492098. Thanks for your concern! -- 72.250.244.226 ( talk) 16:17, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
