 ::This is an encyclopedia, not an opinion platform. You're making a lot of assumptions about what this person thinks/thought/feels, most of which are not backed up by reliable sources. All we have from the sources at this time is that Gabel "plans to begin living as a woman", "will soon begin the process of transition", and "will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace". This means that these things are to happen in the (presumably near) future, that they have not yet begun, and that the name has not yet been changed. I do not see where the article is "misgendering" the subject: Gabel just announced a plan to transition to living as Laura Jane Grace. The article covers this, and will make the transition to "she"/"Laura Jane" in the biography portion as the events and coverage warrant. All this stuff about "She never was a man, even when she herself thought she was" is your own point of view. A biographical encyclopedia article shouldn't have a point of view, it should present facts: This person was born Tom Gabel, lived most of their life as Tom Gabel, and very recently announced a plan to transition to living as Laura Jane Grace. As much as you may perceive it as "insensitive" to use the male gender pronoun in referring to this person's life as Tom Gabel, it is nonetheless accurate and appropriate from an encyclopedic standpoint. I understand that this is a sensitive topic about which many people have strong views, but Wikipedia's articles are no place for strong views.   07:35
