Hi, I'm here from the autism wikia, where there is an issue with the article on Amelia Baggs, a transgender autistic writer. Specifically, hir pronouns.

Baggs was designated female at birth and identifies as nonbinary (sie/hir). There has been some disagreement about whether the wiki should respect hir pronouns, and an editor insists that Baggs should be referred to as "she." I've commented on the talk page with my reasons, but it's clear that the discussion is going nowhere.

I'm sort of new here and I'm not really sure what to do, so I'm coming here to ask for advice. What is Wikia's policy regarding articles about transgender people? Do we use their pronouns?

Thanks for your time. I want the autism wiki to be really great, for all its readers!

(The discussion page contents may be upsetting, especially if you are transgender, so don't read if you are sensitive or in a bad place.)
