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.
This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more
trans men. 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.
This is not a notable entry and appears to be an attempt to create a LinkedIn profile for a relatively unknown lawyer.
Chase Strangio appears to be a fairly unremarkable attorney working at the ACLU. Strangio's career is not particularly noteworthy. Strangio is simply just one of hundreds of staff attorneys at the ACLU.
Without making any comment on Strangio's competencies as a lawyer, nothing about this article justifies inclusion on Wikipedia. As described by the article and some brief research online, Strangio's career involves a few appearances on television that do not merit a breakaway Wikipedia article. If Chase Strangio satisfies Wikipedia's notability standards,
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability, then virtually any lawyer who has practiced for over ten years and has been interviewed about their professions is going to satisfy Wikipedia. That is a vast number of individuals; for example, many corporate lawyers routinely make headlines by virtue of their name appearing on the docket of a prominent matter. Most do not have entries on Wikipedia, and that is good policy. First, Wikipedia would be actively hurt by the appearance of every lawyer attempting to create a biography for themselves on Wikipedia. It would needlessly commercialize the platform by allowing individuals to attempt to coopt Wikipedia's reputation for noteworthiness for themselves. Indeed, countless doctors, researchers, businesspersons, government employees and other people working in and in front of the public eye do not have articles, and should not, because Wikipedia is not LinkedIn and should remain that way.
In short, this is not a platform to advance the parochial interests of legal practitioners. Strangio's article dilutes Wikipedia and should be removed in its entirety. — Preceding

As Strangio did not become notable before his transition, his birth name is not relevant to include in this article.

Just because something is mentioned in a reliable source doesn't mean we need to include it. Adding Strangio's birth name (
deadname) would add nothing of importance to this article. Deadnaming is harmful to trans people and should be avoided whenever possible.

If Strangio is transgender, that is an essential bit of information about him that should be included in the article. It is part of what makes Strangio notable. If the influence of trans people is causing Wikipedia to leave out such information, then that makes Wikipedia more useless than it already is. Trans people may want to erase their "dead" selves, but the "dead" selves of notable persons is part of history that should be included in encyclopedia articles. — Preceding

Remarks on Shrier book
(Tried and failed to do this with a
dummy edit and edit summary, figured it's better being on the talk page anyway.)
Checking the
Internet Archive's
Wayback Machine, it appears Strangio protected his Twitter account sometime between June 23 and June 26 (i.e., this week).
