POV

written mostly from their point of view. NPOV is required, but for someone as uniquely transgressive of colonizer NPOV norms as chrystos, a gentle hand is needed to rewrite with both respect to WP, and respect to them. I would like to try, and will do so when i have time. i qualify as a seasoned WP editor, and as someone whose empathic response to nonbinary and noncolonizer identities, and writing from those places, is a general shaking of the body and tears. so yeah, i can try.(mercurywoodrose)50.193.19.66 (talk) 19:43, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They/them

This article should be rewritten some, to use they/them. The current text mostly dates to before MoS countenanced that, and it just repeats the subject's mononym over and over again, which is clumsy and tedious, though was perhaps a reasonable option before singular-they/them became better-accepted. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 19:20, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
