Conchita Wurst: “He” or “She”?

Conchita Wurst: “He” or “She”? May 22, 2015

It’s Eurovision Song Contest time, and the media is revisiting last year’s winner, Conchita Wurst, the stage name for Tom Neuwirth, who cross-dresses when performing, but while still keeping his beard.

Wikipedia reports, “Neuwirth uses masculine pronouns when referring to himself but feminine pronouns to describe Wurst.”

But the media?  Apparently it’s convention to use the “stage” pronoun, according to this Daily Mail article.

What do you think?
