The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated as a contentious topic.

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be blocked or restricted by an administrator. Editors are advised to familiarise themselves with the contentious topics procedures before editing this page.

This article should adhere to the gender identity guideline because it contains material about one or more transgender people. Precedence should be given to self-designation as reported in the most up-to-date reliable sources, anywhere in article space, even when it doesn't match what's most common in reliable sources. Any person whose gender might be questioned should be referred to by the pronouns, possessive adjectives, and gendered nouns (for example "man/woman", "waiter/waitress", "chairman/chairwoman") that reflect that person's latest expressed gender self-identification. Some people go by singular they pronouns, which are acceptable for use in articles. This applies in references to any phase of that person's life, unless the subject has indicated a preference otherwise. Former, pre-transition names may only be included if the person was notable while using the name; outside of the main biographical article, such names should only appear once, in a footnote or parentheses.

If material violating this guideline is repeatedly inserted, or if there are other related issues, please report the issue to the LGBTQ+ WikiProject, or, in the case of living people, to the BLP noticeboard.

This page is not a forum for general discussion about Transgender asylum seekers, gender, or sex. Any such comments may be removed or refactored. Please limit discussion to improvement of this article. You may wish to ask factual questions about Transgender asylum seekers, gender, or sex at the Reference desk.

A fact from Transgender asylum seekers appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 October 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that, among migrants, transgender asylum seekers are more likely to be subjected to physical and mental abuse?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2022/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Transgender asylum seekers.

... that in 2019, a transgender woman was killed in El Salvador after the United States rejected her request for asylum? Source: ^[1]
- ALT1: ... that, among migrants, transgender asylum seekers are particularly susceptible to physical and mental abuse? Source: ^[2]
- Reviewed: [[]]
- Comment: This is my fourth DYK nomination so no QPQ is required (next time!)

Created by ProfGray (talk) with editing by ThadeusOfNazereth (talk). Nominated by ThadeusOfNazereth (talk) at 23:10, 3 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

@ProfGray: @ThadeusOfNazereth: Good DYK nom and topic. Article meets new, length, policy, and hook format requirements. ALT0 is good to go. My only query here is the hook for ALT1 (which I actually would lean toward being used on the DYK section, since it presents the topic more broadly). The article and its sourcing write "particularly susceptible" but the hook reads as "more susceptible". I'm probably just being too meticulous or persnickety, but I think it'd be better if the hook was consistent with the wording used in the article and its sourcing. Really good work and nom though, ready to check it off for the section once that gets cleared up. Soulbust (talk) 14:35, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Good question. I'm not sure the meanings differ much, but erring on side of caution, I'd suggest "particularly" because some readers might see "more" as implying that all (or more) sources are doing quantitative comparative analysis, whereas they all do point to problems or outcomes particular to transgender persons. My two cents. ProfGray (talk) 14:48, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, I'm thinking that too. I agree, they mean more or less the same thing to me, but would also opt to err on side of caution. Checking this off as approved with the understanding that promoter or nominator will tweak the hook to read "particularly" as per above. Soulbust (talk) 14:57, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - Hi, @Soulbust: where does this stand in the DYK process now? I didn't see it in the pending list. Thanks for your work on it. ProfGray (talk) 13:19, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      - @ProfGray: It looks like it's been moved to the Approved list. From there, it'll be moved to the Preps & Queues list. But the time it takes to go from Approved to the Preps & Queues is just up to the promoter. Shouldn't take longer than a week or two though, from past experience. And no problem! Good work on the hook :) Soulbust (talk) 20:16, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
