# Talk:Kameron Michaels

Should we be referring to Kameron Michaels as simply "Michaels" (which is not a true last name)? We've had this discussion on other drag queen article talk pages, but I want to discuss this subject specifically. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:55, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

If I recall previous discussions correctly, our own informal consensus was that drag queen surnames are, in general, not true last names. However, Kameron explicitly refers to "Michaels" as her last name in sources such as this and this (in the latter, 11:45 minutes in). At the very least, it's a self-identified last name in this case. I'm open to others' thoughts, though. Armadillopteryx 03:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

This article is very inconsistent with pronoun use. If the subject uses both or any “they” should be used for simplicity and nit wildly using whichever is fancied in the moment 173.77.66.234 (talk) 13:18, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

The subject uses "he" out of drag (in his personal life), "she" in drag (when in character as Kameron Michaels). This convention is used across articles about drag queens, whose private identity and performer identity are different genders. Armadillopteryx 16:31, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
