      it’s highly personal, so ideally you ask the individual and include their consent in your article. that said, generally speaking, trans people will use their current pronouns, even referring to their pre-transition selves. this is also what’s generally considered polite if you don’t know them, so it’s pretty suspect that the article is not doing that

      still, something about malice and incompetence…

        If an article is written by an author of her biography they may have talked about the use of pronouns.

        But wiki article, for instance, consistency uses “her” to refer to her

      Also some other language like “woman attracted to other men” just shows you aren’t conceptualizing this person as a woman. Like grammatical parallelism be damned. She was a woman attracted to men. That’s it.

      You will read the article and become exposed to computer science, no good

        I mean, I kinda get it since the article does a piss poor job of using correct pronouns, but put a content warning in the description if that is the case

        Edit: It is still early and my words were not good
