What are the guidelines regarding gender specific pronouns for transgender characters?  I would think they would reflect the gender the character is presenting as rather than the genetic or birth sex of the person.  To quote a relevant article on Wikipedia; "in general, transgender individuals prefer to be referred to by the gender pronoun appropriate to the gender with which they identify."

For example, I updated the pronouns in Poison's (from Final Fight) article from male to female ones.  While Poison was born male, she is clearly presenting herself as a female.  I would argue female pronouns are preferred.  However, the article was changed back, Poison being referred to by male pronouns.  This irks me, perhaps because I have many transgender friends and am aware of the sensitivity on the issue.

Does Giant Bomb have any rules or guidelines in regards to this?

yeah, female pronouns, anything else is insulting

Poison was female in the first Final fight game. And made a Crosdresser because of the rage vs Violence vs women in the early days. Can we even call that transgender? ? Since there is no medical/magical changes? More that the devs just did not want people hating the game because of the issue.
