The following Wikipedia contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.
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 LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.
It's pretty clearly not, but feel free to bring up specific concerns with the article that you think need addressing if you'd like to accomplish something productive here. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 00:28, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Will point out that I have a user account on Wikipedia, have disclosed my conflicts of interest (and thus avoid editing this article or any of the others named in my user page), and if you believe one of the article authors is somehow my sock you are welcome to make a more specific allegation that can be sorted out with WP:CHECKUSER.

Monitoring edits to a page about oneself is reasonable for any biographical subject, but particularly for a trans woman of color who has been a frequent subject of transphobic harassment. Funcrunch (talk) 20:12, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I monitor the page about me and I certainly didn't write it. It's a very reasonable thing to do, especially for people who face a large number of people hoping to attack their reputation. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:28, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I take no particular stance on any particular opinions people wish to place in an article about me, but it's trivially disprovable that I attended college "in the Bay Area" before dropping out to work at Google; my LinkedIn shows that I list myself as having attended Caltech in Pasadena from 2005-2007, and you can also verify through at least one third party source that I was a member of Blacker House. Figured I'd point out something that might damage the credibility of the rest of the article. Lizthegrey (talk) 08:30, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't we be using Reliable Sources WP:RS for these types of statements? The NYT article says: "After all, she has worked full-time at Google and is now finishing her degree at M.I.T." but has no more details than that. LinkedIn is a WP:SPS.
In the "Google Ideological Echo Chamber" section, the previous revision read (emphasis mine):
Fong-Jones said that while the activism always created tension, it turned hostile in 2017 following James Damore's Google's Ideological Echo Chamber memo, which argued that women lacked innate qualities to be engineers using talking points from evolutionary psychology.
The three inline citations provided did not support this at all. Using a Gizmodo ref (that also includes the text of the memo), I have boldy edited it to read (emphasis mine):
Fong-Jones said that while the activism always created tension, it turned hostile in 2017 following James Damore's Google's Ideological Echo Chamber memo, which he argued that women are underrepresented in tech because of inherent psychological differences between men and women rather than bias, using talking points from evolutionary psychology.
I've reverted your change because it was copied word for word from the source. Also, Damore said this:『Throughout the document, by “tech”, I mostly mean software engineering.』107.122.81.92 (talk) 01:02, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I'm aware of the importance of copyright on Wikipedia. I tried expressing it in my own words. But if you say so, I'll add it back after making substantial differences. — Python Drink (talk) 14:46, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can anybody explain why the term white boy in this article links to a weird neo-Nazi group? Is the reader to make the assumption that all “white boys” are members of this group, or that anyone using the term is a neo-Nazi? Was the term used in the context of calling other Google staff members of a neo-Nazi group? That isn’t explained at all in the article.
Given the subject of the article is an active editor who watched this page I'm confused as to how we don't have the precise birth year. lizthegrey do you prefer to keep your birth year private or is there just no public mention of it? It's not a big deal or anything but it seems like an omission that could be easily fixed, assuming you don't prefer to not have it known. XeCyranium (talk) 21:19, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's 1987 and if you need a more proper secondary source rather than relying upon that time I got doxxed, I recently discussed the year (but not the month or day) on the Gender Reveal podcast.[1]lizthegrey (talk) 21:32, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done Thanks for pointing out the error. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 14:19, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
