:: Let's stick to what the story tells us. We do recount that she says she was once a little boy. It's not relevant anywhere else in the article. And a villain characterised as having had too many surgeries, who's said to have lost their humanity along the way, would not be the best of representation, anyhow.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 05:18, November 19, 2018 (UTC) | :: Let's stick to what the story tells us.

:Has anyone considered that she might be non-binary in some way? This could explain how she enjoyed having both Rose's and the 10th Doctor's bodies, and also account for her referring to herself as "a little boy" in her past. I don't think there's enough evidence for it to be confirmed, but I don't think we can rule it out as a possibility.

I find it really funny that Cassandra is possibly trans when her talk of "purity" is so fundamentally TERFy. RTD made Cassandra a joke for the future without even knowing it. -- [[User: NotTheMindProbe|NotTheMindProbe]] 10:24, December 31 2021 (UTC) | I find it really funny that Cassandra is possibly trans when her talk of "purity" is so fundamentally TERFy.

Eskimo is an exonym/slur, I think that it should be changed to Inuit, regardless of the orginal wording from the show. | |||

: As per {{w|Eskimo|Wikipedia}}, while it's a tricky thing because "Eskimo" ''is'' a somewhat outdated term, it's a misconception that it's synonymous with "Inuit", as it also covers several other populations. Even if we were going to censor it as you suggest, cannot assume the term should be replaced by "Inuit" specifically. But — also as Wikipedia highlights — while outdated/controversial, it's not on the level of being a slur which it's beyond the pale to reproduce in historical context, like recording that a piece of fiction from 20 years ago used it; more like "negro" than the ''other'' N-word, as it were. But maybe we could add a footnote highlighting that the use of the word by Davies corresponds to an outdated practice, to make sure people don't uncritically pick it up from us?
