There is probably a rule for this that I am unaware of but George Sand: A writer more renowned in her time than Honoré de Balzac and Victor Hugo. Yet in this wiki her attachments to men, gender expression, personal life, political views and death are covered before her writing.
Although Sand has indeed been bisexually rumored due to her romantic friendship with Dorval, I am confused as stated in the article. The only mention leads to a clearly entertaining book, which, with very big doubts, can be considered scientific and historical. Even sources on Dorval's own sexuality describe their potential relationship as "short-lived if there was one", referring to the subsequent straight relationship of both women. I am not at all opposed to creating a section on her sexuality and even support it, but at this stage it looks like just adding to the article rumors about a woman who was known mainly for affairs with famous men like Chopin (for example, article on Dorval hints that the novel about Mademoiselle de Orbigny could have been written as a satire on rumors about her relationship with Sand, but at the moment the article about Sange does not even have any queer categories). Based on the discussion, the earlier article contained speculation about her being transgender due to her love of menswear, so I want this issue finally resolved without any speculation about her gender or sexuality.

I thought it might be a good place to start. But your text seems to be more of a proclamation/demand than a proposal. I think the issues of bisexuality and "transgender due to her love of menswear" might be usefully separated. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It would be easier for me to rewrite it myself than to demand, but I do not have time, so for a start I just pay attention. My main goal is to describe the issue without speculation or silence. That is, both without trying to make her look more queer than she really was, and without erasing any mention of such matters. Solaire the knight (talk) 22:35, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wearing men's attire in itself, in that era, was no indication of transsexuality or homosexuality. Precise sources would be needed to suggest either. Zaslav (talk) 02:55, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
