Gender identity and the use of the term hermaphrodite

The author's birth name is given and they are described as a 'hermaphrodite' in this article. This term is generally considered offensive to the intersex community. Also, if the author transitioned at some point in his life, is there any particular benefit in listing his former name, considering he didn't publish under it nor was he well-known under it? If he was open about his trans/intersex identity (which I can't find much evidence for from a quick google search) or specifically identified with the term, then that might be a different thing, but I'm not sure he did. For now, I've decided to 'be bold' and remove that snippet as not being particularly relevant to the article. If others disagree, I'm sure it can be reverted and rephrased/cited better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.255.169.83 (talk) 11:23, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

possibly, but not clearly notable. Gets about 10,000 google hits. His main success appears to be Rhinegold and Our Troth, with amazon sales ranks in the 100,000s and 200,000s, respectively. Rather borderline in terms of notability, I'd say, and the article clearly needs some quotable third party source if it is to survive. --dab (𒁳) 12:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of books about neo-paganism came out in the 1990s and as Google Books expands and they pop up on it, his trail is getting wider - more as Gundarsson than as Grundy, but also as Grundy for his scholarship. I've gone ahead and changed the lede to give the heathen writings equal weight with the novels but frankly I just can't find enough on the novels. I'm loth to cut that part of the article down - the originator clearly knew him as a novelist, and judging by his website, that's how he mainly wants to be thought of. So I plan to pause here with my work on this article. But it would reflect the sources better if it described him as a scholar and former leader in heathenry who also writes novels.
