Earlier today, I posted a thread on Reddit's AskTransgender group asking for feedback
on how Wikipedia handles transgender issues, specifically BLP and pronoun issues.

Feel free to respond here or there.
This followed discussions relating to the widely-reported announcement by Tom Gabel, the
lead vocalist and guitarist for the punk band Against Me!, of their intention to
transition, and also previous discussions I've had by email with a UK-based
transgender non-profit.
It almost feels like how we handle gender identity and transgender issues on-wiki is a
nice little litmus test for the community's wider attitudes to inclusion (as well as
handling of sensitive BLPs).
