This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more non-binary 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. Many, but not all, non-binary 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. |

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, - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 22:36, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
Funcrunch (and others, but pinging you since you added this to the lead here [1]): I went ahead and got an edit notice for this page to give editors a notice about Moore’s pronouns: Template:Editnotices/Page/Indya Moore. Now this is here, I wonder if it’s a bit 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?

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)

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!

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.

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)

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)
she/herin 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
