The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.
This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more trans women. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

The HuffPo reference added implies that she would be a politician if she won. The specific quote is "Snow, of course, sees the significance of the history she’s making as a transgender politician". Of course, she did not make it, so she is not a politician. The WaPo reference actually makes the point that she is not a politician by saying that "we have Victoria Kolawoski, who might be considered the only politician on this list to win". In other words, Snow is not a politician. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 13:15, 18 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
You are entirely wrong. In the first case it says she IS making history as a transgender politician, not that she WOULD be if she won. Your assertion that it "implies" she would only be a politician if she won is categorically wrong. Again, in the second case, it says the exact opposite of what you claim. By saying Victoria Kolawoski "might be considered the only politician on this list to win" clearly shows that all three are considered politicians regardless of whether they win or lose. Your argument holds no water and directly contradicts the sources as well as the majority of editor so far, so please refrain from restoring your edit until you can show that you have consensus.

Also, on this very talk page, it says "This page is about an active politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy." This talk page even identifies her as a politician, and while that doesn't mean much in terms of sourcing, it shows that consensus is clearly against you.
