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.

Per this discussion I am restoring the autobiographical content that was removed. Lizzius (talk) 20:30, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Per this source on WP, I'm removing the content that was restored. User MUST follow WP policies regarding the use of primary, secondary and independent sources. Nurse12 (talk) 20:40, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Nurse12. Did you read the conversation? Specifically where Cullen says this: "Concentrate first on summarizing what the reliable, independent sources say, and once notability has been established, use things like interviews with the musician and their own website in a limited way to fill in uncontroversial biographical details." Helms' notability is well established, this information is used to fill out uncontroversial facts about her background. Lizzius (talk) 20:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I plan to restore the section regarding Helms' personal life per a conversation at the Teahouse. I consider most of this information uncontroversial facts about Monica provided by Monica, so they can be included so long as they are properly reference to Monica. I will wait a bit for further opinion before restoring. Lizzius (talk) 15:14, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
