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. Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page. |
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. |

Parents birth country
The article said her parents were Dutch from their Netherlands. It’s a very common misconception that they are the same country. Whilst, the BBC article cited by the writer says they were Danish. Given her surname and the BBC saying she disguised it as a trip to visit family I believe she was Danish American. 2600:4040:AB3B:E000:2DBE:555F:AD71:875E (talk) 16:55, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

In the last paragraph of the introduction, someone wrote “she gave lectures at colleges at university.” This does not sound right. There might be a word or punctuation missing? Consider rewriting this part.
Consider adding a photo to the “Legacy” section. That part looks word-heavy and not very aesthetically appealing. It might benefit from a picture of perhaps Jorgensen’s induction into Chicago’s Legacy Walk, if a publicly available image of that exists.
Alternatively, or perhaps additionally, the article might benefit from a relevant photo in the “Popular culture” section.
In the first sentence of the “Popular culture” section, consider switching the first word “During” to “In.”
More broadly, consider rereading for grammatical and structural errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James Goodyear (talk • contribs) 23:37, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
