[edit] Please respect self-identification

An anonymous editor is repeatedly changing pronouns to "he". Sources including news articles and the person herself identify her gender clearly as female, for example, here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/08/31/BAG4G8GV741.DTL . Please see Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons for guidelines on respecting the Wikipedia entries on living persons. --Lizzard (talk) 21:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I was more concerned with the fact that it seemed editors were unaware that Anders wrote (under the name "Charles Anders") the book "the Lazy Crossdresser". I am quite happy to switch all the pronouns over to female, but I think the first step should be clarifying that C[J]A is MTF these days. 72.1.150.252 (talk) 21:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

LOL, a very ugly she. 130.166.115.120 (talk) 17:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Lizard

Dear 72.1.150.252, I understand that. The book citation is still there. I don't want to get into an edit war with you. But, please respect the I would like to refer you to this article on respecting transgender people: http://www.wikihow.com/Respect-a-Transgender-Person . Point two especially, on referring to people by the pronoun by which they refer to themselves. --Lizzard (talk) 21:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I think the current version we have [1] is both factually accurate and respectful of CJA's identification. 72.1.150.252 (talk) 21:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I kept the book description, but put it further down the page in the Biography section since it's so far back in her past publishing history. Her fiction and work on io9 is kept up top. Cheers, and thanks for talking and negotiating! --Lizzard (talk) 21:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks too. The wikihow article was an interesting read. 72.1.150.252 (talk) 21:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
