- Comment: RE: ALT0 - I wouldn't normally mention transness, but here Yazmeen's intersectional identities make the hook more interesting imo.

Article is eligible for DYK as it is new and long enough. I think that both hooks are interesting. Both hooks are verified in the source (I checked) and mentioned in the article with an inline citation. There are no sourcing concerns or copyright concerns and QPQ has been done. This is good to go. Well done!! I think that having it on 31 March for Trans Visibility Day would be great. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 05:06, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
