| This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page. |

 | 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. Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator.

| This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. 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. Some 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 LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |

editHere are some sources that I dug up. It's amazing how much stuff from just a year or two ago has been taken down or is behind a paywall: Interview with Locus Magazine about io9 and Writers With Drinks http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2010/08/spotlight-on-charlie-jane-anders-author-editor-blogger-emcee/ Interview about Writers With Drinks: http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-02-11/entertainment/17872914_1_literary-history-magazine-moves Personal essay about grandma dying http://www.freshyarn.com/32/essays/anders_theweek1.htm A somewhat mixed review of Choir Boy http://www2.citypaper.com/arts/review.asp?rid=9118
Times website of week fact unverifiable
editI failed in trying to resolve the following dead link. I can simply find no support for this web citation's existence, as it appeared, or for the historical fact it was attached to (published Times plaudit). The link is a deadlink, and no independent verification could be found for the statement—at this indicated set of web pages (i.e., at the softskull site), or the whole of the Times site, each searched many ways—at these sources or anywhere else.
The closest that could be found was an Anders article at the softskull site, with a self-prepared bio which likewise stated the Times plaudit:
So, the original citation was moved here and sentence tagged [citation needed], The plaudit is left in, for time being, unsourced, but it need of a source, or it needs be removed as unverifiable. Leprof 7272 (talk) 19:57, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- The second link above no longer shows what you mentioned.
- Wayback machine shows this page from the actual website - https://web.archive.org/web/20060319144358/http://www.godhatesfigs.com/awards.html - which says "We were the "site of the week" in the August 6, 2000 Sunday Times of London." - but wayback machine doesn't go that far back on the Sunday Times website. -- Beardo (talk) 13:50, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Bibliography -- The Lazy Crossdresser
editI don't believe Charles Anders, the crossdresser, and Charlie Jane Anders, the author, are at all the same person. --Michael K SmithTalk 12:01, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Here's a reliable source to support the statement that Charles Anders, crossdresser, was partners with Annalee Newitz in 2002. We also have reliable sources to support the statement that Charlie Jane Anders is transgender, and thus formerly had a male identity. And we also' have sources to support the statement that Charlie Jane Anders is partners with Annalee Newitz. Or if you think that's too much synthesis, try this, which is however perhaps not as old as you'd like. DS (talk) 20:11, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Transsexual
editThe article rather dances around, but never quite manages to actually state, the fact that Charlie Anders/Charlie Jane Anders is transsexual. Doesn't this rate at least a sentence? Or is there a policy at Wikipedia not to mention such facts? 50.200.245.134 (talk) 03:46, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- It isn't mentioned anywhere in her author bio at https://www.charliejaneanders.com/about , and since the page already has a bunch of relevant categories at the bottom that make it clear she's trans, I think it's fine for the article to take its cue from the author bio. 173.222.1.149 (talk) 06:07, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Bibliography
editI have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 01:01, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
- There is a lot more short fiction than mentioned here - but if we include that in the table form, that could end up dominating the article. Perhaps the list of shorter fiction is better moved into a separate article ?
- What about comics ? Is there a list anywhere of what comics she has written ? -- Beardo (talk) 11:03, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Removal of irrelevant source
editThis is an archived source that was cited, along with another source, in the Career section after: "Anders co-founded Other magazine, the "magazine of pop culture and politics for the new outcasts", with Annalee Newitz. Anders served as publisher during the magazine's run from 2002 to 2007."
Just didn't want this source to be lost to the ages, but I couldn't find anything in it related to the article. Kirby777 (talk) 21:44, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Born as ? ? ?
edit'Her' bio is incomplete.
Who was 'she' born as ?
As a trans-women, there's a pre trans history that many are interested in. Yet in all the online places I've looked, it kind of appears that 'she' is hiding something since there is no pre-trans info.
Why not ? 2600:8800:204:C400:543B:A726:2B90:5188 (talk) 17:56, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
- The incomplete nature of the historical record means that full biographical details on every person who ever lived are not available.
- If no one has been interested enough to write a biography of Charlie Jane pre-transition ("Charlie Jane Anders was born as an incontinent baby"?), then Wikipedia can't have that information. DS (talk) 13:48, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
