• ... that though he did not support the Yugoslav communist regime, Slovene transgender lawyer and writer Ljuba Prenner acknowledged that after they took power, he was able to dress as he pleased? Source: "Ti prekleti komunisti, je pogosto bentila, a potem hitro dodala, da so ji pravzaprav šele oni dovolili nositi hlače,« pravi Mrzelova." ["These damn communists, she often bent, but then quickly added that in fact only they allowed her to wear pants," says Mrzelova.] (Dnevnik)
  • ALT1: ... that Slovene transgender lawyer and writer Ljuba Prenner would introduce himself: "I am Dr. Ljuba Prenner, neither man nor woman"? Source: "Medtem ko so vsi, dobro poučeni o njenem moškem videzu, napeto pričakovali njen prihod, se je Ljuba pojavila v sobi s pladnjem tortic v roki in dejala: 'Jaz sem dr. Ljuba Prenner, ne moški ne ženska, tukaj imate torte, da se boste posladkale.'" [While everyone, well informed about her masculine appearance, eagerly awaited her arrival, Ljuba appeared in the room with a tray of cakes in her hand and said: 'I am Dr. Ljuba Prenner, neither man nor woman, you have cakes here to sweeten up.'"(Cosmopolitan)

Created by SusunW (talk). Nominated by Yoninah (talk) at 23:02, 29 June 2020 (UTC).

Substantial article about an unusual life, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. I prefer the ALT, but would like some indication of when that was, because in 2020, it would probably be a bit quirky, but when it happened, had more depth to it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

• Happy to strike ALT0. SusunW could you weigh in here please? The source gives the date of 1954; could we say ... that in the 1950s, ...? Yoninah (talk) 21:24, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree that the date adds more context...in the 1950s is good. SusunW (talk) 21:35, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
