Awesome :) I'd love to help.
As an example, several times I've tried to start "Femme" as a separate article from "Butch & Femme" but it keeps getting reverted. (I forwarded this to some of my dear friends that organize the bi-annual Femme Conference, see http://www.femme2012.com/home/, http://femmeconference.org/, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femme_conference) I *really* appreciate Sue mentioning the need for improvement in trans etc. articles. More trans people editing various trans articles would probably be a very good thing. I think the new "edit" option vs "edit source" will help a LOT.
