Item: Al Pillay
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: "Al Pillay" is an outdated name.
Most recent name she self-identifies as publicly is "Lanah P", as in below vice article posted 2017.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanah_P
https://i-d.vice.com/en/article/nenbxb/the-untold-story-of-lgbt-pioneer-lanah-p
Excerpt: "Back then I was Alan. So it's been Alan, Alana, Lana, and Lanah."
An interview on YouTube in 2022 uses the name "Lanah P" and uses she/her pronouns.
Also note that she uses she/her and they/them pronouns and has identified as gender fluid, transgender, and transexual at different times (but specifically does not define their gender publicly from what I can find aside from "trans").
This 2016 interview identifies them using they/them pronouns:

Acting credits "The Comic Strip Presents" lists her "as himself" - not sure what specific name was used in credit but might be worth changing to "as herself" or the name used on credits.
(Very little recent info on this that I can find though her Instagram is lanah.p, I scoured but couldn't find too much aside from some vague comments that affirmed she considers Al Pillay an incorrect or offensive way to refer to her now)

I've updated their name to Lanah P and added Al Pillay to the list of alternate names.
