Hello! Welcome to my user page.

Most of my interests lie in LGBT issues, in particular those related to transgender people.

Proposed Articles and Edits

edit

Below you will find some articles I plan on creating or am working on!

Transgender sex worker (Spring 2017)

edit

The transgender sex worker article currently has multiple tagged issues (as of March 2017). I will be working to expand the work that has already been done, bringing in a more worldwide view to the article as well as rewording much of the existing article to remove the instances of bias in the article.

Feel free to take a look and let me know if you have any feedback!

Transgender Health (Fall 2016)

edit

Initially, I wanted to improve the article about Healthcare in the LGBT community, but while reviewing it I noticed that there is no existing article dedicated to transgender health. Rather, searching transgender health on Wikipedia points you to the section about trans health in the Healthcare in the LGBT Community article. The section on transgender health contains a good skeleton to build off of. However, the section makes little to no mention of non-Western trans people. There are only brief mentions to Latin American trans women and Indian trans women and some subsections do not reference non-Western trans people at all.

This transgender health section of the article does not appear to have been edited very recently, the last edit in this section was in March of 2015, and even then the edits made were mostly minor ones. I believe that expanding the section into a full article page will allow for a greater discussion of non-Western experiences as well as improved visibility for the issue and greater chance for improvements.

I have a preliminary annotated bibliography available on my sandbox. Please take a look and let me know if you have any feedback or suggested sources!
