Lir often self-identifies as female, especially
online
(more often female than male is my estimate from her online diary);
and to my knowledge she has self-identified only as female on
Wikipedia,
except occasional use of the name "Adam", which is typically male.
(Unless your post was meant to say that this has changed?
I can't be certain of Lir's current preferences.)
Transgender Etiquette from
<http://www.mlp.org/resources/mlptgn.html>:
Always address and treat individuals in the manner in
which they are expressing themselves. Use names and pronouns
appropriate to the expressed (rather than the genetic or legal)
gender. Give the same respect that you would expect for
yourself.
It always works best if use of congruent gender references is
practiced at all times, including when out of earshot of the TG
individual (i.e., don't use different pronouns outside of
his/her
presence).

I hear you, but it sure makes things confusing. Adam is a he, Lir is
a she, but Adam is Lir. Mmmm...
