      https://bookbrainz.org/help and https://bookbrainz-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/glossary/ use a known fascist transphobe as an example of pseudonym usage. We should be able to come up with a different example.

      E.g., bell hooks for Gloria Jean Watkins would be a fantastic example. If we want specifically a femme person adopting a masc coded name for purposes of avoiding censure and other forms of sexism, then Mary Ann Evans/“George Eliot” or any of the “Bell” (Brontë) sisters might be possible candidates.
