1773:) is instructive here, in which I said, in part, in one discussion, "I'm not aware of any Knowledge policy when it comes to people with multiple pronouns...I still tend to favor using the same pronouns throughout an article, whether she/her or they/them in terms of Rebecca. At the same time, I do tend to believe that the most common pronouns should be used for Rebecca...without a unifying policy, I guess its all up to consensus on here to decide if to use multiple pronouns or not." I'd recommend reading the above linked discussions, as there was a LOT of back-and-forth when it came to Rebecca's pronouns, and it can be relevant here. Maybe we should do something similar to the Rebecca Sugar page here with 1658: 670: 652: 1015: 988: 1180: 1162: 572: 551: 582: 830: 809: 1025: 523: 924: 403: 906: 459: 435: 321: 293: 741: 469: 720: 1614: 2246:
they/them? Because there will probably be some users (probably IP users) who try and change the pronouns regardless of our discussion here. I wasn't aware of the convention about pronoun order, but I think that could be tricky to pin down, because I don't think Monáe has directly said why the pronouns are in that order and/or talked about about the preference for that pronoun order.

Wow... You predict the future and someone's reaction? Do you know me?! Are you aware of my WP history and contributions?! You didn't see my edit summary, did you? And you obviously didn't see my reply on my talk page. You don't even remeber my username and our previous interactions (e.g. talk stuff).

with the sheer number of categories the article has, it'd seem wholly uncontroversial to have done what I did, which was change either the categories to the correct non-binary equivalent or to move them up to their respective non-gendered parent categories, but here we are. I know AGF, but this level

I can agree, having a note would be helpful, and as I said above, due to the reliable sources leaning against use of they/them, and the fact that Monae has stated that she favors she/her and they/them pronouns, as Funcrunch pointed out rightly so, I don't see an issue with the existing pronoun usage,
2104:
Monáe uses she/her and they/them pronouns. This article uses they/them pronouns for consistency. There is consensus to use "they" because, as the article explains, Monae uses both "she" and "they" pronouns. This avoids confusing readers. If you think this should be changed, you should seek consensus
2392:
There should be a note that Monáe uses both she/her and they/them pronouns, like there is for the articles of other people who accept multiple pronouns. I do not think it's necessary to shift to they/them per Funcrunch (see Monáe's January 2023 statement, and that the Spotify bio does not seem to be

I can agree. I reversed the user who reverted this helpful change by the OP here and directed them to this discussion. I wholly expect my edit to be reversed, but if I can at least encourage them to participate here, that would be great. As to what the OP is saying, I think this talk page is better
2083:
I agree with this, and I was surprised to see that the article was still using she/her exclusively. Even on article for non-binary people that are mired in conflict from conservative editors trying to erase or minimize non-binary identities, the articles still usually resolve to have a note on the

pronouns. This article uses feminine pronouns for consistency. There is consensus to use "she" because, as the article explains, Monae uses both "she" and "they" pronouns, and because Monae is covered by our sources as "she". This avoids confusing readers. If you think this should be changed, you

where Monae says "I'm nonbinary, so I just don't see myself as a woman, solely. I feel all of my energy. I feel like god is so much bigger than the 'he' or the 'she.' And if I am from God, I am everything. I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black
1515:
For consistency sake, as I've noted elsewhere, I think we should stick with she/he, so as to not confuse anyone. And since Monáe is pronoun flexible, I don't see the harm with sticking with one set of pronouns (she/her). I know other media outlets have used multiple pronouns in one article, but,
1500:
Reliable sources are not always reliable in terms of pronoun usage. Many so-called reliable sources will misgender people even when stating that a person uses different pronouns. This is clearly evident in the LA Times interview in which Monae states that they use they/them and she/her, but the

As a nonbinary person myself I understand the desire of some to default to they/them, but I'm not sure that's necessary in this case. As long as both sets of pronouns are noted in the bio, sticking to she/her throughout the article until and unless Monáe expresses a preference otherwise would
2245:
It is my understanding for pronoun changes of biographies on here is that Knowledge relies on what the majority of reliable sources use to inform what pronouns are used. As such, should we keep it as she/her (the majority of reliable sources appear to favor this at present), or change it to

None of our decisions about pronoun usage should be motivated by anticipated vandalism. We do not negotiate with etc. That said, it seems the biography was not self-authored, so the point kicking off this discussion is not particularly relevant. That said, the note should still be
2264:
we should use the gendered words the subject prefers, even if that's different from what's stated in reliable sources. Monáe has stated using both she/her and they/them, without specifying a preference for one or the other. The most recent pronoun statement I could find was her
2098:
Hmm, I said in an earlier discussion to use she/her (I only said they should be used for the time being, as it wasn't directly said that Monae preferred they/them). I may be fine with changing it to they/them, and if there was a change, then this new note could be added to the

Given that Monáe has come out as nonbinary, we should probably reexamine some of the categories Monáe's listed in here (several women ones for instance). I don't know whether Monáe would not like being called a woman, or the etiquette here however. What is the Wiki policy on

which notes that Monae is pronoun flexible. The article says: "Monáe brings a carefree spirit to thoughtful conversation — happy to veer off on a tangent, deeply enmeshed in the issues raised by her high-concept work. The singer identifies as nonbinary, adding:
2287:
Good point about MOS:TRANS, and I'll keep that in mind considering this issue has cropped up a number of times before. Right, exactly. I can agree, that as long as both sets of the pronouns are in the bio, then using she/her throughout the article works.
1847:
Great! I'm guessing that there will be others in the future which will raise this same issue, and its definitely possible that reliable sources will lean toward using they/them in the future, but for now, I think the existing pronouns are here are fine.

A hurdle to this change would be what I said in the past: "its definitely possible that reliable sources will lean toward using they/them in the future, but for now, I think the existing pronouns are here are fine." Doing a quick search, it looks like

article only uses she/her pronouns throughout. When people use multiple pronouns but only one is used, that is denying that person's gender. Alternate every section or every paragraph but do something to show that the multiple pronouns are respected.

Well, the Rolling Stone article is mainly summarizing what she said on Red Table Talk. Besides, the new note on the article is better, more descriptive than the previous one, and more helpful to users. Additionally, that Rolling Stone article

Monáe was also asked about her pronouns, with the interviewer pointing out that her Knowledge page was amended to incorporate they/them pronouns following her “non-binary” tweet.

That article uses they/them pronouns, but it nowhere indicates that Monae identifies according to they/them pronouns... The ending piece refers to Sam Smith...

I can agree. In terms of attempted vandalism, I was only pointing out that it will likely happen no matter the consensus we come to here.

There's no conflict between being non-binary and female, or being non-binary and using feminine gender pronouns. Reliable sources such as
