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.
Incredibly based.

"So what are yyoouurrr pronouns?"
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
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.
