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 non-binary people. 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. Many, but not all, non-binary 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.

Hi Helper201: I changed the photo from Tamsin Omond (left) - 2011 - Railway Adventure (pic 8) (cropped).jpg to Tamsin Omond (centre) - 2009 (cropped).jpg because whilst it's slightly older (from 2009 instead of 2011), it is much better lit and it's much easier to see Omond's face. I think it's also a better photo in general better suited to an encyclopedia. I hope that their new level of profile means we can have a better and up-to-date photo of them but of what's available on the Commons, I think the 2009 image is the one to go for!

Hi Ralbegen, I personally think the 2011 photo is better and its of course more recent. I like that it’s more of a full body shot and there's no one else in the photo. I have uploaded all the good quality photos of them I could find available on Flickr to Wikimedia Commons that had the appropriate copyright to upload. If you could find and upload more recent images then we could use them here. Maybe try asking them directly, such as via social media (I don't use it myself)? Hopefully they could provide you with a good quality and more recent photo and permission to upload it; perhaps one as part of their current election campaign.

Thanks for your work getting photos of them from Flickr! I think a 3:4 head-and-shoulders portrait is usually the right choice for a biographical article's main subject so for that and the lighting reasons cited above I'm afraid I'm not convinced; but I'm happy to leave the status quo until we have an up-to-date image or until more editors participate to form a winder consensus. I don't think I'll be able to reach out to Omond to seek a better image but often election candidates' teams seem to put suitable photos on the Commons before too long!
