My feeling, as it has always been, is that we should use pronouns matching their physical gender. No special reason for this beyond simplicity. Though there is the added factory that the story itself, in Japanese and official English translations alike, uses the physical gender pronouns.

Were this a \\\'\\\'Wandering Son\\\'\\\' fansite or even a fan-made wikia or something, I wouldn\\\'t argue the point. But TV Tropes is a site for general info that anyone and everyone can and does read. To this end, in my honest opinion, using their \\\"proper gender\\\" pronouns over their physical gender pronouns makes things needlessly confusing for any random reader who happens to come by. And that\\\'s without getting into Makoto, who is apparently referred to as \\\"zhe\\\". Honestly, who outside of the transgender community will even be aware of that and not just assume it\\\'s some oddly consistent typo?
Not to mention that some of the entries make zero sense when read out loud with proper pronouns, such as DoubleStandard, where it would read as if a girl is being punished for wearing a girl\\\'s uniform when a boy got away for dressing as a boy.
Why not add a notation explaining why it\\\'s preferred within the transgendered community to use one set of gender pronouns?
