Non-binary identity.[edit]

In a recent interview with the Washington Post Live, Gladstone mentioned being a non-binary person —- here’s the link: https://x.com/postlive/status/1729965992879473092?s=46&t=0Lv1MiC93uB_uPb3oOCOag

Should this be added inside a ’Personal life’ tab, once one is created? Arrlittle03 (talk) 06:27, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That video in a tweet is not entirely clear. If I understand correctly, she doesn't directly call herself "non-binary" there.

In the more clearly cited source, which has several variations, but largely the same quotes, she speaks about the fact that gender is not so binary in Native American cultures. However, unless I'm missing something, she doesn't directly call herself "non-binary" there either, and she says that she uses "they" as an expression of Native American identity, not non-binary identity.

So the "they" pronoun should certainly be mentioned, but the article shouldn't be included in the "LGBT" and "non-binary" categories without a clearer source that says Gladstone is non-binary. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 04:55, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added better sources to confirm her LGBTQ identity. Neither source identifies her as "non-binary," however. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 16:44, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks. The aframe.oscars.org source is not very useful—it lists her in "LGBTQ+ Filmmakers", but provides almost no details. So it's kind of OK for saying she's LGBTQ, but it's not the best. But the Salon story refers to the New York Times story "Lily Gladstone Won't Let Hollywood Put Her in a Box", which is already cited in the article, and the self-description there sounds quite clear and close enough to what I know about non-binary identity: “It’s kind of being middle-gendered, I guess,” said Gladstone, who uses both “she” and “they” pronouns. “I’ve always known I’m comfortable claiming being a woman, but I never feel more than when I’m in a group of all women that I’m not fully this either.”

Now I think it's OK to include the article in "LGBT" and "non-binary", but I'm really not sure about "queer". And I'm not sure about "two-spirit" either, unless she says it explicitly somewhere. It may be correct if she's non-binary and Native American, but without a specific source, it still feels like original research. People who understand the topic better are welcome to correct me. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 17:07, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, two-spirit is not shorthand for "non-binary and Native American", much in the same way hijras in India and kathoeys in Thailand (okay, that gets a bit fuzzier) aren't just synonyms for transgender women if those regions. "Non-binary" is a broader, neutral umbrella descriptor. 2803:4600:1116:1457:FCE7:4C8:F97A:1751 (talk) 07:23, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Don't see evidence that the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development is a particularly notable organization, or that this award is particularly notable.
