Pronoun update

FYI, on the website for Sulkowicz's business, "she/her" pronouns are used to refer to her: https://www.emmasulkowicz.com/about. The source cited in this article for the preference for "they/them" pronouns is from 2018, so perhaps the article needs updating? Yilloslime (talk) 00:32, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also this[1] from 2019 stating a preference for "she/her". Yilloslime (talk) 00:37, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While her current instagram account lists no pronouns at all, her old account from 2021 lists she/her/hers with no mention of they/them at all. Unless there's a more recent mention of still using they/them at all, I think it should definitely get changed. Will do it myself if nobody else gets to it by the time I'm at a computer.
