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)
