Transgender

In my head, SBB is a transgender novel, it is famous both for being a "butch-femme bible" and a transgender novel. I do believe the word "transgender" should be mentioned somewhere in the article. // habj (talk) 10:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC) Oops... it is mentioned, but in relation to the author not the book. // habj (talk) 10:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added something under Major Themes. I am conscientious that it is difficult to talk about gender identity in a way that both feels appropriate in the modern day and also accurate for the time it was written. I hope I did ok but am very open to someone re-wording. KKohn00 (talk) 15:00, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OOP

Interesting that the book is described as permanently out of print. since it can be printed on demand, the meaning of OP in this case must be that the RIGHT to publish (the copyright) must have reverted to the author, from its last publisher, and the author is choosing to retain the copyright indefinitely. this may have nothing to do with the books popularity, only the author asserting their rights. probably the wave of the future.50.193.19.66 (talk) 15:58, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The page said the book had become "permanently out of print" in 2013, but another edition was released in 2014. I removed the "permanently OOP" line. If someone understands better what Leslie's intent was with that statement and wants to re-write the part I removed, please do. KKohn00 (talk) 14:58, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pronouns

I saw that Jess' pronouns had been changed to they/them and undid the edit. Although Jess can be read as nonbinary, she/her pronouns are used throughout the novel. I accidentally submitted the edit without a reason, so I am putting it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:586:8000:DF86:A16A:24EA:5F99:75E3 (talk) 23:53, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also see that Feinberg's pronouns are "hir". That's not the decision that's been made on Feinberg's bio. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 21:59, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
