gender identity

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Unless I am mistaken, during the time of the speech at March for Our Lives, she had not been changed to they/them. The gender identity change occurred in May 2021, according to the article. Therefore, in the second paragraph, change they to she. Another option would be to find a way to rephrase the last sentence in the second paragraph. 161.77.57.235 (talk) 22:30, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: To directly quote our Manual of Style on this matter: Using correct pronouns and other gendered words holds for any phase of the person's life, unless they have indicated a preference otherwise. BelowTheSun (T•C) 23:24, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The gender identity topic is still confusing because she was the word that was in the article, and she was only changed to they when Emma was changed to X. How about phrasing the end of the second paragraph this way?

Speaking at the demonstration, González led a moment of silence for the victims of the massacre, standing on stage for six minutes, which was approximately the length of the shooting spree itself. 73.167.238.120 (talk) 00:23, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Attacks"

Article has a section called "Attacks and conspiracy theories" with another subsection called "Attacks by Steve King", and begins "Gonzalez was attacked..." but unless I'm missing something, the "attacks" listed are all just criticism. Why such charged language? For context, common primary defintions for the word 'attack' are "take aggressive action against (a place or enemy forces) with weapons or armed force, typically in a battle or war" (OED), "an act of using violence to try to hurt or kill somebody" (Oxford Learners), "to try to hurt or defeat using violence" (Cambridge). While it's not strictly incorrect to call verbal criticism an attack, it's a hyperbole, and it's needlessly ambiguous in this context (perhaps intentionally so?), unencyclopedic, and value-laden. Please correct to more neutral and accurate language to describe criticism. 2600:8800:239F:A900:3DB1:F84A:F492:F793 (talk) 05:33, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please change "the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history," to "the fifth deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history,"

The source remains unchanged. 2601:406:201:5970:69D0:D865:5D2:93AC (talk) 01:00, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
