Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

I agree. While I'm not transgender myself, that's clearly an agenda-driven edit. Also, Ambiguous Gender Identity clearly isn't a Sub-Trope of Artistic License – Biology.
Agreed on all counts. In addition to all the other problems, Ambiguous Gender Identity is about what's shown to the audience (you know, the one outside reality). Calling it Artistic License is like saying Background Music Override is unrealistic.
Edited by SpeedchesserRemoving a trans voice actor from cross-dressing voices, and based on the edit reason above, they'd contested this before.
Issued for the edit warring + possible agenda driven edits. I already removed Ambiguous Gender Identity from Artistic License – Biology
Macron's notesWell, now that the problem's been resolved, I think this query can be locked and closed.
Trope Editor (he/him)

On July 4th, 2019
, the troper wrpen99 added Ambiguous Gender Identity as a sub-trope of Artistic License – Biology — this was their only edit at the time, and they provided no edit reason. On September 20th of the same year
, Nubian Satyress deleted this addition. On August 2nd 2021
, wrpen99 re-added it, again their only edit, again no edit reason. 21 days later
, Rena Starfall deleted it. On the 5th of this month
, wrpen99 re-added Ambiguous Gender Identity to the page, again their only edit, again no edit reason.
Now, I see no possible reason why Ambiguous Gender Identity would qualify as Artistic License – Biology. The trope doesn't in any way mention gender identity in relation to biology, only in strictly psychological terms, and the trope itself isn't unrealistic. However, even aside what I see as a persistent agenda on the part of wrpen99, they have undeniably been waging an edit war. I'd like to remove their addition after their suspension, and I'd like a consensus for or against such a decision.
