Some sources are citing that Jenner is in fact transitioning into a woman. Should we add this into Personal Life or wait until more sources poor in supporting this information? --[[User:TDKR Chicago 101|TDKR Chicago 101]] ([[User talk:TDKR Chicago 101|talk]]) 02:39, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:I would say wait. Right now it's just anonymous, unattributed, shadowy "sources" who may or may not be correct in any number of ways. I think as an encyclopedia, we need to have it concretely nailed down and confirmed before including it.--[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 03:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:: People and Entertainment Tonight are anonymous, unattributed, shadowy sources? http://www.ew.com/bruce-jenner-transition-to-woman-docuseries |

:::::To whoever posted the above: Not ''People'' and ''Entertainment Tonight'' — the anonymous, unattributed sources they're currently citing. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 22:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::Too premature to include. There are some articles that say he is "ready to come out as a woman", but until that happens or he makes a statement, I don't think it should be included. [[User:Melonkelon|Melonkelon]] ([[User talk:Melonkelon|talk]]) 04:25, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:::Agreed, I was going to add it but decided against it after rereading the article and realizing he didn't actually verify. [[User:RockStarRei|RockStarRei]] ([[User talk:RockStarRei|talk]]) 06:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::There is this [http://www.people.com/article/bruce-jenner-transitioning-woman ''People'' magazine] source.--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast|talk]]) 07:54, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::: Not confirmed by Jenner him/(her?)self. [[User:RockStarRei|RockStarRei]] ([[User talk:RockStarRei|talk]]) 14:16, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:::::: Per numerous discussions here and elsewhere, Wikipedia requires unimpeachable, non-tabloid direct statements from the person themselves for changes like this. [[User:Gaijin42|Gaijin42]] ([[User talk:Gaijin42|talk]]) 14:07, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::::: Honestly, I'm usually guarded, but I think it has gained enough significant coverage, that it should be mentioned in a careful way, because unless the article is locked fully people will keep adding it day in and day out. People Magazine is really not a tabloid at all - they would not go with this kind of confirmation unless it was 100 percent. The "source" is basically him or his agent/publicist. Especially with him doing his TV show, there's going to be continual press promotion about this. If this is the typical E! TV show, he himself is not going to say anything or do any interviews until it's time to do promotion for the show. And Kim K's comments were fairly significant (contrived), talking about his "journey" and that he's going to tell people when he's ready etc. Additionally the coverage that that one magazine did (of photoshopping makeup on him) was fairly shocking and received significant media coverage. And by the way, I don't mean that cover itself was any kind of confirmation, but printing a cover like this was just nuts and I have a feeling upset a lot of people sensitive to transgender issues. [[User:Wikimandia|Wikimandia]] ([[User talk:Wikimandia|talk]]) 19:22, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::The show's publicist may very well be behind this. But we don't know. Anonymous sources have all sorts of reasons for saying the things they do, and few times is it because they're exposing corruption and are afraid of retaliation. In the entertainment world, anonymous sources have their own agenda. Given that an encyclopedia is,optimally, an unimpeachable, concrete source of facts for reference-seekers, I think we need to hold off until we have concrete confirmation. Even if we were to take the anonymous sources at their word, we don't know by any means if (for the sake of argument) we're taking transvestism, full-scale gender-assignment surgery or something in-between. We don't have concrete facts. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 22:58, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::::I agree if it were to be written in the article as a fact or mere speculation; however, it can be discussed what was reported. Even Time Magazine went with the story, and it is most definitely not a tabloid, nor would Time green light the story if their editors felt the People source was not reliable. Additionally, Variety ran an article specifically about his new reality show and that it is devoted to his transition ([http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/bruce-jenner-woman-transition-e-docuseries-1201418084/ read article here]). And again, not a tabloid but a highly respected industry source with no credibility problems. The show announcement should at least be placed on the page. [[User:Wikimandia|Wikimandia]] ([[User talk:Wikimandia|talk]]) 09:07, 1 February 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::::: So, rampant speculation about a BLP subject's appearance leading to insinuations that Jenner may be gender transitioning. How is this okay to mention in a BLP, given there is no [[WP:RS|reliable source of evidence]] that this is what's actually happening? Bear in mind that transitioning is either a medical issue, a [[DSM-IV_codes#Gender_identity_disorders|psychiatric issue]], or a [[DSM-5#Gender_dysphoria|psychological issue]] depending on who you talk to. So when is it okay to speculate about these issues on a BLP based on someone's appearance? - [[User:Alison|<span style="color:#FF823D;font-family: comic sans ms">'''A<font color= "#FF7C0A">l<font color= "#FFB550">is</font>o</font>n'''</span>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Alison|❤]]</sup> 10:05, 1 February 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::::: This is not speculation. Speculation would be - "Jenner's long hair and nail polish have led to media discussion and commentary about him possibly being transgender." .... It is not speculation to include, "Trade industry publication ''Variety'' reported on January 28, 2015, that Jenner will have his own reality series on E! devoted to his transition from male to female." Variety = not a tabloid nor a gossip blog. [[User:Wikimandia|Wikimandia]] ([[User talk:Wikimandia|talk]]) 01:51, 2 February 2015 (UTC) |
|||
{{od}} For BLP concerns such as this, statements like you describe are insuccificent. but in any case, Variety doesn't even say that. it says "has generated considerable speculation in the tabloid press that he is on the verge of revealing he is transgender" a clearly insufficient "fact" for saying anything of substance about anyone.

:::[http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/05/fashion/the-bruce-jenner-story-goes-from-gossip-to-news.html New York Times just published an article], in the article they say the Kardashian family still refers to Jenner as "him". The pronoun issue is discussed. People magazine still uses "him/he" and the article refers to Jenner as "Mr Jenner". I suppose we'll have to wait until the interview.

|||
:::::I don't think anything is being delayed. He's still filming his show. There's nothing to suggest his life will be imminently affected by the crash, as horrible as I'm sure he feels. But it's not like he was not intoxicated at the time or anything. An investigation may or may not result in a charge of manslaughter, but it seems a bit doubtful as he was following too closely but while going the speed limit and he was not texting or doing something else distracting. He may be the secondary cause of the accident and not the initial cause. He'll definitely have a civil suit for wrongful death but those take years.

According to [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2980050/Bruce-Jenner-told-daughters-transgender-plans-teary-family-summit.html this article], among multiple other articles, Bruce Jenner is in fact becoming a woman. He has already shaven his Adam's apple, although it is unknown if he is planning to get gender reassignment surgery. It will reportedly be announced on the show as well. So do you think it could possibly be written now, since The Daily Mail (in my opinion) ''is'' a reliable source? [[User:Nyazkilam|Nyazkilam]] ([[User talk:Nyazkilam|talk]]) 18:33, 6 March 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:Nope. Bruce hasn't announced the change. Your source is fourth-hand information, which is nowhere near good enough for a Wikipedia BLP. [[User:Townlake|Townlake]] ([[User talk:Townlake|talk]]) 18:46, 6 March 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::Can you define fourth-hand information and how it differs from the first 3 "hands"?? [[User:Georgia guy|Georgia guy]] ([[User talk:Georgia guy|talk]]) 18:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:::Firsthand would be Bruce. Secondhand would be the people in his family Bruce told. Thirdhand is Us Weekly; it appears family members told Us Weekly what Bruce said. Fourth-hand is Daily Mail reporting on the Us Weekly report. I assume you've played the [[telephone game]] at some point in your life; in this case, for something this sensitive, the information and specifics attached to it really need to come from the lion's mouth. [[User:Townlake|Townlake]] ([[User talk:Townlake|talk]]) 18:56, 6 March 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::Oh alright then. I suppose we'll wait until the Diane Sawyer interview or the E! News documentary. [[User:Nyazkilam|Nyazkilam]] ([[User talk:Nyazkilam|talk]]) 19:49, 7 March 2015 (UTC) |

:::::How much do those sources pay attention to Jenner?? [[User:Georgia guy|Georgia guy]] ([[User talk:Georgia guy|talk]]) 20:43, 7 March 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::::It's an interview with him -- that's when he discloses his new name. And the E! News documentary is going to feature him and his family. [[User:Nyazkilam|Nyazkilam]] ([[User talk:Nyazkilam|talk]]) 14:07, 8 March 2015 (UTC) |

== When to start using female pronouns? == |
|||
Cosmidering the complete chaos surrounding changes to the [[Chelsea Manning]] article (one of the biggest conflicts in Wikipedia history), it would be nice to have a calm pre-discussion about when and how the changes here might take place. What are the guidelines? [[User:Moncrief|Moncrief]] ([[User talk:Moncrief|talk]]) 17:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:Per [[WP:VNT]], we have to wait until '''at least one reliable source''' reveals Jenner is a trans woman. [[User:Georgia guy|Georgia guy]] ([[User talk:Georgia guy|talk]]) 18:03, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::Beyond that [[MOS:IDENTITY]] says we need to use the pronouns they say they want used. A source discussing/claiming a transition says nothing about what Jenner themselves wants. We need a clear an unambiguous statement/interview from Jenner themselves saying they are a (trans) woman or would like female pronouns used. [[User:Gaijin42|Gaijin42]] ([[User talk:Gaijin42|talk]]) 18:11, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
:::You mean, some trans women prefer to be referred to as men?? [[User:Georgia guy|Georgia guy]] ([[User talk:Georgia guy|talk]]) 18:13, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::No, I mean we cannot assume "trans woman" nor which pronouns Jenner would prefer. [[Third gender]]. [[Gender-specific_and_gender-neutral_pronouns#Summary]] not to mention just the fact that if they have not discussed it publicly, perhaps they don't want it to be discussed/known publicly. (Beyond that, as a celebrity/actor, stuff such as this could affect future job prospects and if we get it wrong, wikipedia could be liable. ) There are numerous examples where things have been "known" for a long time, but we did not update our articles without official statements. [[Tim Cook]] or [[Anderson Cooper]] coming out are two easy to point to examples where it was a widely discussed open secret, completely not mentioned in wikipedia. [[User:Gaijin42|Gaijin42]] ([[User talk:Gaijin42|talk]]) 01:11, 1 February 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::Gaijin is correct. A "reliable source" that doesn't directly quote Jenner's own wishes won't be sufficient. [[User:Townlake|Townlake]] ([[User talk:Townlake|talk]]) 18:39, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::: OK. And what if Jenner never explicitly tells "us" (the public) about any preferences. Then what? Just because an individual undergoes this type of transition does not require that that individual explicitly articulate to the general public what their preferences are. (Especially in the case on non-celebrities.) No? [[User:Joseph A. Spadaro|Joseph A. Spadaro]] ([[User talk:Joseph A. Spadaro|talk]]) 20:50, 31 January 2015 (UTC) |
|||
::::If they never say anything publicly, then we never say anything either. See [[Tim Cook]] and [[Anderson Cooper]] and when the first mentinos of them being gay made (and stayed) in the article. [[User:Gaijin42|Gaijin42]] ([[User talk:Gaijin42|talk]]) 01:11, 1 February 2015 (UTC) |
|||
Then one obviously defaults to the status quo. I am in Jenner's implied position, or perhaps close, it is a very complicated one, even without celebrity status, and even contractual issues, as a celebrity name equals brand. The initiative lies there, not here. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2.80.181.204|2.80.181.204]] ([[User talk:2.80.181.204|talk]]) 20:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> |

[[WP:IDENTITY]] is paramount here. The BLP subject must confirm this themselves.

To this point in time he has been identifying as male. Pronouns for events transpiring before this supposed future transition should still remain in the masculine. "Her" would have no reference to his performance in the male division of the Olympics, celebrity era as male characters or Kardashians as step-dad. There is no reason to go back and rewrite the article. We do the same thing with women after they get married and take on their husband's surname. The events before the marriage are still referred to under their birth surname. [[User:Trackinfo|Trackinfo]] ([[User talk:Trackinfo|talk]]) 02:35, 2 February 2015 (UTC) |

::If Jenner comes out as transgender, I think we could say that Jenner is the first winner of the Men's Decathlon to identify as transgender (as opposed to "transgender winner," which could imply having won after transitioning; if a transitioned person ever wins an Olympic event, we'd deal with how to word it then). However, I'm not sure it's encyclopedic to do so; "winner of the Men's Decathlon" may be too specific a category to bother identifying someone as the first to do something not related to the event; i.e., the first Olympic gold medalist of each gender to identify as transgender should be mentioned as such (I don't know if that would be Jenner or not.), and I don't think we need to identify transgender "firsts" by Olympic event. --[[User:DavidK93|DavidK93]] ([[User talk:DavidK93|talk]]) 17:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC) |

::I believe the logic is that Bruce Jenner identified as a woman in 1976, when the medal was won, and therefore was a woman in 1976. I could easily be wrong here about the logic, but the Wikipedia policy (as I understand it) is that Jenner's should be recognized as a woman throughout her entire life.

:::It's complicated. We have no comments from Bruce Jenner, but even if we assume that Jenner now identifies as a woman, we don't know if she feels that her gender identity has changed over time or if her current gender identity has been a lifelong one. Most transgender individuals who have spoken publicly hold the latter position. In any event, it should be noted that there is a difference among being transgender (feeling that one is of a different gender), transitioning (living one's life as a different gender), and being transsexual (i.e., having had sex reassignment surgery to change one's biological sex). So it is entirely possible that Bruce Jenner felt she was a woman in 1976 when she competed in the Olympics, even though she had not yet transitioned. I believe Wikipedia holds that we must identify such a person as a woman, although I personally would describe such a person as female but a man, and a woman only after transitioning. --[[User:DavidK93|DavidK93]] ([[User talk:DavidK93|talk]]) 14:50, 5 February 2015 (UTC) |

::A non-comment from a publicist doesn't strike me as notable. An hour long interview with Bruce's mom is notable. If, in similar circumstances, Bruce's mom said that Bruce liked chocolate ice cream, Bruce was undergoing cancer treatment, Bruce sang in a chorus, or Bruce was going to get his helicopter license(!), there would be no question of accepting it as a reliable source. There should be no double standard. -- [[User:Dansan99|Dansan99]] ([[User talk:Dansan99|talk]]) 20:36, 29 March 2015 (UTC) |

:::The double standard is in place to protect the gender identity of individuals. Otherwise when a reliable soures print that [[Bradley Manning]] is in prison and is a man, we would have to follow it. Have patience. If Jenner is announcing, it will be soon, and no harm has been done. 20:42, 29 March 2015 (UTC) |
|||
The point is that it has to be Bruce Jenner himself who says he prefers the ''general public'' to refer to him as a she. He might be transgender in a typical way and let his friends/family know about it and it might show in his physical appearance in a subtle way -- '''and still''' prefer that the media and everyone else refer to him as they always have. This does make sense. If you think that "he's transgender therefore we have to refer to him as a she" then you're wrong. It's his prerogative to decide that. Not his mom's, and definitely not ours. |

::I think we're getting too hung up on the pronoun question. I don't think it's that important at this point. That we're discussing pronouns at all is more due to the accident of the English language being poor at expressing things in a gender-neutral way. As long as we don't have any evidence of Bruce's pronoun preferences to the contrary, I think we should continue to use male pronouns. The far more important question is whether Bruce is transgender. What we know now from a reliable source is that Bruce told his mom, his mom told a reporter, and the reporter told us. For some reason that's not considered noteworthy enough to put in the article. But, if Bruce told a reporter and the reporter told us, then it would merit inclusion. Usually, the objection in these types of circumstances is that we don't want to include mere rumor. But, that doesn't seem to apply here, since it was the mom relaying what Bruce told her directly, and moms would be considered very reliable. At the very least, it seems it could be included in terms of what the mom said Bruce said to her. [[User:Dansan99|Dansan99]] ([[User talk:Dansan99|talk]]) 09:01, 31 March 2015 (UTC) |

::::: Absolutely not to what? There are at least two questions here. One is regarding the pronouns to use when referring to Bruce. I have not proposed that we change the pronouns in the article to female. This seems to be in keeping with MOS:IDENTITY, because Bruce has used male pronouns his whole life we have no indication either from him or from his mom that that has changed. The second question is whether Bruce is transgender, or more specifically, if Bruce told his mom that he is transgender. These questions can be considered orthogonal because some transgender individuals choose not to change the pronouns they use to describe themselves. We know from a reliable source that Bruce's mom is claiming that Bruce told her that Bruce is transgender. That seems worth noting with sentence or two in the Personal Life section. At the very least, Bruce's mom is part of his personal life, and her saying this publicly is notable. It could be expressed in exactly those terms, that Bruce's mom told a reporter that Bruce talked to her about being transgender. It doesn't have to say that Bruce definitely is transgender. Regarding parents misgendering children, there are very very few examples of parents calling their children transgender when they are not. It's almost always the other way around.

==TV Guide reporting upcoming Diane Sawyer interview== |
|||
A story on Page 7 of the April 20, 2015 ''[[TV Guide]]'', which generally does not repeat tabloid rumors, but restricts its reporting to the content of TV programming, reports that during Jenner's April 24 interview with [[Diane Sawyer]] on ABC: |
|||
<blockquote> For months, the world has watched as 1976 Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner grew his hair long, donned earrings, polished his nails, divorced his wife, and appeared to be transitioning to life as a woman. The question then became which media outlet would score the reveal with the 65-year-old father of 10.....ABC's Diane Sawyer won the honor.....Sawyer, who would not use the word ''transgender'' in advance of the airing, says she conducted several sit-downs with Jenner on both the east and west coasts, revisiting places that were meaningful to him.</blockquote> |
|||
Can we add to the article the fact that he will have this interview with Sawyer, and quote from the ''TV Guide'' article? Or should we wait until after the interview has aired? [[User:Nightscream|Nightscream]] ([[User talk:Nightscream|talk]]) 02:36, 18 April 2015 (UTC) |

::I would go further to say we should be very specific in terms of what is quoted for this future interview. Note even the quote above '''does not say''' a conclusive statement. Sawyer is deliberately '''not''' using the word, so how would that make it appropriate for wikipedia '''to''' use the word? While I am on record suggesting Jenner's 45 year history of acting as a man in the public eye should be addressed throughout our reporting of that history, there are others who quote some wikipedia policy to artificially (my words) alter that history to adhere to this potential future announcement. But that move should not be undertaken at all until we hear from Jenner. [[User:Trackinfo|Trackinfo]] ([[User talk:Trackinfo|talk]]) 06:03, 18 April 2015 (UTC) |

== The interview == |
|||
Why are any references to the interview with Diane Sawyer deleted? The special was aired nationwide in the United States and there are various online sources for validation but every time ano info from the interview is included, someone removes the quote. The only thing that has remained is the date of broadcast which seems irrelevant if the interview cannot be used. |

:Jenner is in the middle of an 8-part series about coming out as a trans woman.

Jenner is widely announcing a transition in process presumably with an unveiling of his ''she'' with female pronouns in the near future.

To the degree that this isn't a troll, perhaps this is a good use case for "[sic]" or "[intents and purposes]" although I think that Jenner's speech at that moment was somewhat mumbled, and it is quite difficult to determine which word he said, but his meaning was clear.

:It's not a troll. Here's how I came across it. I found a parody news article on this about another celebrity claiming to say this (a female celebrity they were pretending was secretly born a man) and well I looked up the story and it annoyed me that the parody website didn't quote the bad English properly. I mean it's a parody site so quoting the bad English would be funnier. So I then I checked Wikipedia--surely they would have it right. (I don't edit much but I read Wikipedia a lot.) And so Wikipedia had the altered quote too. It's really no more than a pet peeve. By the way, what he said was pretty clear. News programs generally are pretty easy to hear dialog, it's the shows of some fictional story (e.g. action, drama, fantasy, scifi) where the characters mumble their lines and then they have music and background noise making it hard to hear -- oddly enough $20 headphones clear a lot of that up better than $200 speakers. Anyway, I pointed it out here because it annoyed me that the quote was changed, nothing else.

It is clear that Ms. Jenner will be using the name Caitlyn going forward and so the article should be hosted under that name. Previous notability under the former name is resolved via redirect. I am extremely surprised that Wikipedia does not have an established policy already, but given past precedent (e.g., [[Chaz Bono]], [[Chelsea Manning]]), the documentation of the subject's desire to use this name going forward in a reliable source, and the ability to resolve any confusion about the more well-known name with a simple redirect, I cannot see any reason why the page should remain under Jenner's previous name. -- [[User:Merope|Merope]] 18:06, 1 June 2015 (UTC) |

To quote [[WP:COMMONNAME]]: "Ambiguous or '''inaccurate names''' for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources." Emphasis added. It is obvious that a majority of reliable sources use the name "Bruce," since she was known by that name for most of her life. We shouldn't have to wait another four decades to start using her name name simply to comply with some arbitrary calculus. It is more important that we present information that is factually correct. Reliable sources are reporting she is transitioning gender identities and that her name has changed. Wikipedia should correctly reflect what the reliable sources say.

::Her new name can be used ''in the article'', but the article itself should be located at the common name. This move should be undone and discussed, as is proper for a contentious move, which it is clearly is. People saying this is harmful are strangely confusing, as this person just announced this today. The old name doesn't suddenly become a dagger the moment they announce a new name. Once again, as with other famous transitions, what we have is the LGBT project rolling out and making hard and fast decisions and then poling up to declare that as consensus. Every person in that project will head over here, as what happened with Manning, and declare the past an insult. That's not consensus, it's stonewalling. - '''[[User:Floydian|<font color="#5A5AC5">Floydian</font>]]''' <sup>[[User_talk:Floydian|<font color="#3AAA3A">τ</font>]]</sup> <sub>[[Special:Contributions/Floydian|<font color="#3AAA3A">¢</font>]]</sub> 18:17, 1 June 2015 (UTC) |

We have many cases of people who have self-identified by a new name where the old name is used as the article title ([[Cat Stevens]] was given above, as an example).

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 LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |

- Jenner has six children with three successive wives – Chrystie Crownover, Linda Thompson, and Kris Jenner – and from 2007 to 2021 appeared on the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians with Kris, their daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as Kris's other children from her previous marriage, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob Kardashian. Kris's children, not Caitlyn's. CRBoyer 06:29, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
