Gender identity
For more information on Wikipedia’s policy on gender identity, please see MOS:GENDERID, particularly the following: “Refer to any person whose gender might be questioned with gendered words (e.g. pronouns, "man/woman", "waiter/waitress") that reflect the person's latest expressed gender self-identification as reported in the most recent reliable sources, even if it does not match what is most common in sources. This holds for any phase of the person's life, unless they have indicated a preference otherwise.” Reliable sources indicate that Lauren Berlant used they/them pronouns in the last years of their life, so Wikipedia defers to that most recent information.
