Thank you for the apology, I appreciate it.

I vote yes!

Regarding I Want A Stand's comment about biological sex:

Like I said in this thread, I think there's a better way to say things than "male" or "male sexed" (whether or not this terminology is acceptable to use for transgender people is currently hotly contested). I honestly think that there's language we can use that gets the point across clearly and respectfully, and I feel like it's simply best to be as respectful as possible here - whether or not you might think it's warranted or not, I don't feel we lose anything by explaining something in a few more words. (If anyone wants to talk more about this, I'm more willing to do so as long as the questions are being asked respectfully to me. I just don't want to slap down a huge comment if it's not necessary, and I don't want to make my own blog post to talk about it and therefore create another place people would have to visit on the issue.)

If something is to be placed in this kind of infobox, I'd recommend that Alluka be given both a sex and gender box. I know that's not the standard on the wiki (I don't think any characters have a "sex" box, which incidentally sounds like the newest development in VR technology and I am completely on board), but if people consider Alluka's "biological sex" to be something needed to be put in an infobox, here's my thoughts:

"Sex: male-assigned (implied)" - this dodges the potential issue of whether or not calling a transgender girl "male" is a transphobic act and dodges the potential issue of people arguing that Alluka is a cisgender girl - it says "this is what the narrative implies, and Togashi didn't say it outright.

"Gender: female (implied)" - like the above, it says it is the implication of the narrative is that Alluka is a girl and that Togashi has not offered an outright comment.

It gets the point across, it states that this information isn't confirmed, and if someone is confused by it, the "gender ambiguity" section has the context needed to explain things. I absolutely agree that the gender ambiguity section needs to stay - no matter how much we've rehashed the debate and no matter how obvious I think the answer is, it is still a fact that people are confused by this. Because, for most of the world, trans issues are a huge question mark and that's not their fault. I think it's just better to say what we know - "This is what the narrative seems to be getting at" - and then give them the option of exploring it more in-depth.
