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.

Moved to mainspace on 11 June, nom same day-new enough; 2322 char-long enough; neutral; cited; no image. No apparent copyvios, but note that half of the sources cannot be reviewed as are off-line. Hook 124 char, under maximum; interesting; cited though source is off-line-AGF. QPQ done. SusunW (talk) 18:26, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have tweaked the word order because "fellow teenage aspiring drag queen" is confusing/misleading given that Sweets was presumably around 70 years old by this time. I'm not happy with "teenage fellow" as a fix though. Can anyone improve? Gabrielbodard (talk) 08:35, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
