Overall: TERRIFIC read, so happy I decided to dive into this article for review! Copyvio Earwig check did come up with some high numbers, but they're all from direct quotes and I'm good with it here. Only note I have is that the hook says "years before he met her", but the sentence in the page only says "the first time he dated a trans woman" -- @Tamzin: I'm not withholding approval here because it's so close and very directly implied (and is also explicitly in the source for the sentence), but I think it would be good if you made it more explicit in the section. Really well done writing and great work! Nomader (talk) 13:51, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Nomader! :) The article reads better with the detail in question anyways, so I've added it. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 18:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Also, just want to note, I had a moment's fear that the degree of (permissible) copying from the FTW article plus the degree of quoting would add up to less than 1,500 B of new readable prose (see DYKCRIT #1a/2a, DYKSG #A1/A2). So I checked. With the full article running 5,338 B as of this writing, the version with all copied sentences and quotes removed weighs in at a healthy 3,115. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 19:28, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
