@DotMaetrix@chitter.xyz I only learn about her and her awesome work now. Shit, this sucks. 😔 She sounds like an absolute fabulous role model.
If anyone here got the necessary creds in Wikipedia perhaps they could update her article under "personal life"? It currently says that "Around 2003 Heineman was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and began to identify as a woman". Not sure if that's a framing she preferred, it sounds awfully backwards and somewhat pathologizing (at least to my non-native german ears).
