According to a former neighbor, if anyone called Robles a woman or Doña (an honorific for women, similar to English Mrs.), he would threaten them with a pistol. Robles has therefore been described by historians as transgender.

Need a Zapata western about him STAT. Someone use your juche necromancy powers to bring back one of the spaghetti western directors.

Anyone else think the article is a little strangely written? It genders him correctly a few times but it like goes out of its way to use his last name instead of his chosen name or pronouns, kind of annoying

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

eh that's wikipedia for you and probably has to do with western journalism copy practices.

yeah that's probably just style guide. Go on Weird Al's page and control+f "yankovic". maybe OP article could stand to use pronouns more often but there's a " he" and/or "his" in every section and it's pretty short.

If you're okay with shorts, J Draper has a whole playlist dedicated to LGBT history in London, often talking genderqueer historical figures.
