Earlier today, I posted a thread on Reddit's AskTransgender group asking for feedback on how Wikipedia handles transgender issues, specifically BLP and pronoun issues.
http://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/tejwl/is_wikipedia_handling_transgender_identity_well/ Feel free to respond here or there. This followed discussions relating to the widely-reported announcement by Tom Gabel, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the punk band Against Me!, of their intention to transition, and also previous discussions I've had by email with a UK-based transgender non-profit. It almost feels like how we handle gender identity and transgender issues on-wiki is a nice little litmus test for the community's wider attitudes to inclusion (as well as handling of sensitive BLPs). -- Tom Morris <http://tommorris.org/> _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
