The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBT WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard. |

Consistency with the earlier capitalization of "8th District" seen in the article as "Wu moved to the 8th District in order to challenge the incumbent Lynch.", seen under the 2018 congressional bid sub-section of the Career section. EggRoll97 21:47, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- The first mention is "She challenged Rep. Stephen F. Lynch of the 8th district" with district lowercase, and the article is Massachusetts's 8th congressional district. I think it would make more sense to go for consistently lowercase than consistently uppercase. * Pppery * it has begun... 12:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done, now consistently lowercase. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Add to the end of the second paragraph of Career (though use discretion where exactly would work best if you disagree) that she is a trans woman, as she has recently identified as such on Twitter, satisfying typical WP:ABOUTSELF usage for identity matters. Her article should also be added to Category:American transgender writers and Category:Transgender women writers. Suggested wording:
She is a trans woman.
