Hi all -
I hate to clutter up your inbox with another mail tangentially related to the Chelsea Manning stuff, but there's an ongoing RfC on the English Wikipedia that essentially asks whether or not trans people should be referred to by their preferred pronoun during period of the life before they made public statements that they are trans.
Since I know this list has a lot of people knowledgeable on gender issues, I figured it would be a good place to throw it out to (most relevant wikiprojects have already been notified as far as I can tell.) If this is an area where you have knowledge (preferably knowledged back by sources,) please chime in at the RfC, however you feel.

Thanks, Kevin Gorman
