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.

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 LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |

- Article is long and new enough, and properly sourced. There are no BLP issues. Both hooks are interesting. ALT0 is properly cited but I'm unsure about ALT1. Waiting on that QPQ. 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 15:51, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi LunaEclipse, I'm definitely leaning more towards ALT0, since it's focused on the critical reception of her work featuring a trans character, rather than the focus solely on the fact that Gigl and her character are trans. I've just added a DYK that I just reviewed. Thanks for taking a look at this! Best, Bridget (talk) 00:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- The facts for ALT1 are supported but the phrasing seems a little awkward. How about
- ALT2: ... that Robyn Gigl, who has written a series of legal thrillers with a transgender lawyer protagonist, transitioned after becoming the managing partner of her legal firm? Source: article from the New Jersey State Bar Association Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Approving ALT2. 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 17:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- This one is great, but I'm kind of thinking the same thing as ALT1 – maybe we can come up with a hook that is centered on her literary work (rather than her transition)? Bridget (talk) 21:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC) (edited 23:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC))
- I changed my mind. I'm approving ALT0. I'm going to AGF for the NYT source. 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 12:04, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
