I'm not a huge manga fan, but I am a big fan of both James Bond and Sherlock Holmes. Therefore, I hate everything about this - the concept of the character, the wokeness of the wiki itself, the "tone policing" and the fact that fucking "deadnaming" has even made its way into that "artform"... - Kotaku In Action 2

I mean this isn't Canon at all. At worst it's published fanfiction, at best it's an au. Just ignore it?

That's the exact mindset I take with disney Star Wars.

The wiki claims that the author of the manga made the “Irene Adler is trans in the original” comments as justification for the character’s existence, lol…

If it were just some weird obscure fan fiction (because sadly Holmes is now public domain anyway, so anyone can do anything with it, pretty much), then I wouldn’t give a shit, but that is not what the author claims…

I mean, they would be wrong. And Irene Adlers existence in the holmes mythology is so damn overstated anyway.
