The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article relates to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a contentious topic. 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 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 LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

In the third paragraph of "Career", "making them one of the first non-binary actors cast in a major television show" should ideally read "making them one of the first openly non-binary actors cast in a major television show", given how it's possible that various actors before them were non-binary but simply were closeted due to the norms of their time. While ideally I could go look for some concrete (sourced) cases of actors who came out after their roles, I do believe this wording is what's generally used when covering broad categories. --181.115.61.74 (talk) 07:32, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was just wondering about the quote "created by colonists and imposed on the indigenous peoples" - this seems to imply that they're counting themselves among the indigenous peoples, but I can't seem to find anything else about this online. Anyone know if they're native american? 92.238.171.231 (talk) 19:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Subject-Verb Agreement with Singular They Pronouns
Embracing the possibility of an alternative grammar norm related to preferred pronouns that I'm unaware of, should the first sentence of the Personal life section read "... and werewas assigned..."?
While common English grammar stipulates the agreement between a plural verb (were) and a plural subject (they), the sentence's subject, They, is referring to the singular person, Asia Kate Dillon, as opposed to a group of people.
