::::: I think I agree that using news articles would be fine until/unless a better source comes along. I'm pretty certain we don't have an official policy on writing pages on people who use multiple sets of pronouns, but I do remember seeing an article about someone fitting that description where the article switched between their different pronouns randomly. I don't remember what article this was, though.

Yeah, news articles are really sketchy to me, which is why I asked. Often they just assume things - especially if it's not a direct interview, (and even if it is, you're still getting someone else's interpretation of that person) and having these fields justifiable through news articles rather than pure self reporting could easily lead to citogenesis. I'm also pretty wary about this generally because there are some figures in the community that have attracted very passionate detractors, and it could easily prompt vandalism. (There's a ''certain'' figure who I disagree with in basically all respects wrt their ''Who'' opinions, but I've had to repeatedly edit their page in order to remove very personal information from.) I'd be much more amenable to an IU version of this. But I've seen the vandalism that happens on this site against people, and the vitriol that happens against certain people, and it leads me to just be so skeptical. Personally.
