@amapanda@en.osm.town hey I’m a pretty big fan of Wikidata, and I’ll admit that I’m not the most up-to-date on all this, but how does WD model it vs what would be expected?

@kevin@en.osm.town I started changing a few long-dead people from gender=male to gender=cis male (which exists in wikidata). but they reverted it. I don't do much #wikidata processing, but if you have a simple “gender=female” and trans women are supposed to go under the “gender=trans female”, then I dunno if you'd be counting a trans woman as a woman, which is problematic. I can understand the resistance to having to think about trans issues when tracking people though the past, but c'mon.
