[edit]This looks suspiciously like an April Fools joke. Blue Eagle 21063 (talk) 13:13, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Lame joke to begin with, not trans friendly
[edit]Seriously, wikipedia? Even on April Fools day, using "crossdressing" as a joke is pretty insensitive to trans men and women. 12.11.127.253 (talk) 13:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- If this is an April Fool, it does not say much for the wit and wisdom of Wikipedia's editors. Assuming it's not an April Fool, then we seem to be stooping to the lowest depths of the gutter, tabloid press to attract readers. It takes a huge leap of the imagination to link a tiny infant used for political reasons with crossdressing - or does someone imagine that Chinese babies were wrapped in blue or pink swaddling clothes and then themselves chose which to wear?

Somebody needs to work on having a sense of humor. Good grief! Terry Thorgaard (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Unless I've missed something, the article doesn't actually support the claim that the unnamed female child was dressed in the clothing of the opposite sex. It says that the child was falsely claimed to be male - which is something else entirely. If the article can't support the claim of 'crossdressing', we shouldn't be stating it on the main page, regardless of whether it is transphobic or not. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:24, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Controversy section
[edit]"She was also an impostor for the throne as a boy." I think this sentence needs to be re-written. First, a 50-day old infant can't be an imposter, which generally requires intent. and "imposter for the throne" just doesn't seem right, linguistically.
