An editor is trying to remove the term "transsexualism" from the article. WP:VULGAR was cited as a reason. To be perfectly clear about it, WP:VULGAR concerns language that is "vulgar, obscene, or profane". The term "transsexualism" is not "vulgar, obscene, or profane." Edits based on misrepresentation or misapplication of Wikipedia's guidelines are unacceptable. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 07:51, 16 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
FWIW I agree that "transsexual" is not vulgar. Some instances/uses may be (out)dated, but in an article about an older work that uses the term in its title, may be OK. I may try to look through the article later and see if there are any places where rewriting seems appropriate. -sche (talk) 18:01, 19 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Wow, that's a startling omission. Yes, there should be at least a sentence in the "Reception" section, which already mentioned Raymond's attacks of Stone; how is this? -sche (talk) 19:59, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
