The article says drug overdose but the supporting citation says AIDS.
There was so much stigma around AIDS that it might be a cover up to say it was a drug overdose. Jamplevia ( talk) 02:02, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
I noticed that throughout Jackie's page, varying usages of both "he" and "she" are sprinkled throughout. I feel as though this creates unnecessary confusion.
This source at University of Iowa affirms that both pronouns were used by friends of Jackie's-- however, Jackie's own quote (below that statement) indicates that they thought of themselves as "...not a boy, not a girl..."
I propose changing Jackie's referential pronouns throughout this article to the singular they, in order to a) make the text clearer and
b) bring it in line with Jackie's self-identification. Catwalkninja ( talk) 02:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

After reviewing the references, the inconsistency in pronoun use arises from the sources themselves. This appears to be the result of historic attitudes. Reading this it does not seem right to use the "he" pronoun, yet that is what many of the sources use. I think a section is needed on their gender identity, that summarises the sources which discuss this, being careful to adhere to WP:SYNTH. Then, with this section clarifying the ambiguity I think it would be OK to use the ambiguous pronoun "they" in the article. Polyamorph ( talk) 05:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC) |
Some editors favor the use of the singular they in cases where gender identity is in question and no pronoun preference has been declared by the biographical subject. Other editors do not.My personal opinion is that it is better to use the singular they pronoun than to use a mixture of he/she. Polyamorph ( talk) 11:38, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
I decided to get bold and took a stab att solving this by using alternate wording; also cleaned up some other confusion. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 20:38, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
