Untitled

Pauline - your edits were not based in fact but instead turned the page into a one-sided invective against Riki and GenderPAC. This is not "opinionpedia." Discussion of the controversies surrounding GenderPAC are one thing, your post was quite another.

"her artificial vagina"

I found this wording potentially confusing, so changed it to "her surgically constructed vagina" (with appropriate link). Assuming that her vagina was created by SRS, I thought this wording was clearer. Calling it "artificial" sort of makes it sound like an anatomical model (to me, at least). If there is a strong reason for the original wording, please do revert it. --133.1.90.161 07:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lack of internal links

I was surprised at the paucity of internal links, so I have added a few like Camp Trans, The Advocate and so on. --133.1.90.161 07:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GenderPAC quote

The original quote "creating classrooms, communities, and workplaces that are safe places for everyone to learn, grow, and succeed, whether they conform to expectations for masculinity or femininity" looks like a partial version of the one that appears on the site (http://www.gpac.org/about/) - have replaced it with the full current version and added a link as reference. --133.1.90.161 07:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronouns

I would assume from this article that Riki's preferred pronouns are they/them: "Hello. My name is Riki. My pronouns are 'they, theirs, and them.'" According to their autobiography, Wilchins identifies as "genderqueer", so this would make sense. Kaldari (talk) 05:20, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, looks like a clear MOS:GENDERID issue. - Astrophobe (talk) 08:25, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe my information is outdated (2018) but in McNabb, Charlie. 2018. Nonbinary Gender Identities: History, Culture, Resources. Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield. it's said "Riki Wilchins uses s/he/hir pronouns, per hir books and an e-mail exchange."EnbyWarrior (talk) 18:55, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
