[edit] Pronouns

I fixed many pronoun arrors on this page. Michelle Dumaresq is female and should be addressed with female pronouns. In all other articles I have seen relating to a transgendered person, their identified gender pronouns were used.70.17.166.27 16:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transexuality issues

IMO the majority of this section in this article should be ported somewhere else, e.g., under the SRS article as it has doesn't have much to do with Dumaresq that it wouldn't have to do with everyone else that has transitioned MtF. -Yupik 07:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronouns

I reverted the change of pronouns due to the lack of discussion. There is no strict policy on the issue, but you can find debates of what pronouns to use for transsexuals here and to a lesser extent here. The consensus would seem to point towards using what the person in question feels comfortable with. Other articles follow this so I don't see a reason why this article should not.
