In July 2006, Wikipedia editor Catamorphism was nominated for administrator status on the website, which requires broad support from the community. Catamorphism, a genderqueer person who used the pronoun "they" and requested that Wikipedians do likewise, faced significant hostility to their request for correct pronoun usage, including many opinions that their insistence on their choice of pronoun would make them a bad administrator. Catamorphism also faced considerable opposition for having clear political views and tending to edit articles related to those views.
