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.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. 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. |
She is Bisexual, not Lesbian
It's apparently a misconception in the media that Julia Serano is lesbian, which has carried over to this article. She does, however, identify herself as bisexual. I'm changing it in the article, and linking to an article she wrote herself, wherein she explicitly mentions that she is bisexual. --Akuen (talk) 16:03, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
- In Whipping Girl, she calls herself lesbian again and again. But OK, if she’s said ‘bi’ elsewhere... — Chameleon 05:58, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Early Life
I decided to add a section about Julia Serano called "Early Life." I wasn't able to find certain biographical information, such as the location and date of her birth, but there's information about certain aspects of her earlier life in her book Whipping Girl (which I own, but I don't believe is available on the internet) and also on a subsection of her website called "Switch Hitter." I decided to include the most important seeming available details of her life up until 2001, when she came out as a transsexual woman.
