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 gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans men. 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.

Individuals with a conflict of interest, particularly those representing the subject of the article, are strongly advised not to directly edit the article. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You may request corrections or suggest content here on the Talk page for independent editors to review, or contact us if the issue is urgent.

She has sold numerous stories around the place...?[edit]

With respect, what does this line mean? Laodah 04:06, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's fairly colloquial usage. 'He has sold numerous stories' might be better Leeece (talk) 15:41, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sue Isle → Alex Isle – Legal change of name and gender in 2014 ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] Leeece (talk) 11:19, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support - the sources are not super strong but I see no reason to doubt this. FictionMags Index also confirms it. --bonadea contributions talk 16:28, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another reference showing the name change ^[4] Aurealis is a very respected SF magazine in Australia, the Aurealis Awards are a big name award so if it's from their website it'll be on the level. Leeece (talk) 16:01, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
