== [[Hanne Gaby Odiele]] gender identity ==

Asking since you have greater expertise than I regarding intersex people. Per [https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2017/apr/23/intersex-and-proud-hanne-gaby-odiele-the-model-finally-celebrating-her-body today's article in The Guardian], do you think it makes sense to add [[Hanne Gaby Odiele]] to the [[List of people with non-binary gender identities]] (and related categories)? She mentions not being cisgender and not feeling female nor male, but there might be language translation issues, so I don't want to make unwarranted assumptions. [[User:Funcrunch|Funcrunch]] ([[User talk:Funcrunch|talk]]) 22:57, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
:Thanks for the message. Much news reporting carries assumptions by journalists but, in a new article in the London Times she is reported as saying, in a direct first-person quote: "My identity is female and the energy that I carry myself is mostly female". {{cite news|title = My life as an intersex supermodel
| url =https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/my-life-as-an-intersex-supermodel-92f7d57xh | work = The Times| date = April 22, 2017}}. The word cisgender appears not to be used consistently, which is why that page contains a critique. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 06:31, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
::Thanks, that ''Times'' article requires registration so I can't see most of it unfortunately. The ''Guardian'' piece uses first person quotes as well: "I will never know what it is to be a cis-gender woman, I will never be able to talk about a period or having a child, but I’m not a man either – I’m proud intersex." "I don’t feel female and I don’t feel male, but I do like ‘she’." Anyway, better to err on the conservative side and not add her to the non-binary list I suppose... [[User:Funcrunch|Funcrunch]] ([[User talk:Funcrunch|talk]]) 14:43, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
:::Registration is free, and that quote appears at the end of the excerpt. Bodies and identities are different things, and the word cisgender is used in lots of different ways, the experience of being intersex is to not experience "cis privilege", even when identifying with assigned sex. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 00:19, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
:::Here is another (derivative but open access) article, in the London Independent. {{cite web| title = Hanne Gaby Odiele: Top intersex model on how doctors tried to change her gender as a child | url = http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/hanne-gaby-odiele-intersex-model-doctors-gender-change-child-belgian-fashion-lifestyle-a7698796.html | first = Rachel | last = Hosie | work = The Independent | date = April 24, 2017}} These reports indicate how difficult it is for journalists to report accurately on intersex issues, and how dominant transgender narratives are. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 13:06, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
:::Copies of an interview with [[Dazed & Confused]] are also available [http://www.womenmanagement.com/hanne-gaby-odiele-dazed-confused-spring-2017/ here] with discussion specifically of gender identity. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 14:53, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks for sharing these articles. It's good that the Dazed & Confused interview has more of Odiele speaking rather than isolated quotes. [[User:Funcrunch|Funcrunch]] ([[User talk:Funcrunch|talk]]) 17:16, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

== Letter from 3 US Surgeons General ==

Hi Trankuility!

First of all, you rock!!!!!

Second of all, I want to draw your attention to a development in the news you may or may not have heard yet. My guess is you have heard. 3 former Surgeons-General of the United States wrote a joint letter opposing intersex genital mutilation on infants. I want to send it your way because I think you could probably integrate this info into articles (and you could probably also do it better than I could).

Article: <ref>https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/us-surgeon-generals-call-end-intersex-surgery/</ref>
Reaction from OII: <ref>http://oii-usa.org/4325/former-surgeon-generals-call-for-mor-unnec-intersex-infant-surgeries/</ref>
The letter: <ref>http://www.palmcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Re-Thinking-Genital-Surgeries-1.pdf</ref>


I meant to send this your way earlier, so my guess is you've heard by now, but I think this is very good information that could be added to various articles.

Many thanks and good luck!!!!!

== A question ==

Hi! I'm sorry if I've offended you and feel free to delete this section as needed. I noticed recently that you reverted the edit to Vaginoplasty with a comment that it was about more than just transgenderism. I am confused because there is another article called [[Phalloplasty]] that has that exact sidebar to indicate it was part of the series on transgenderism. And my goal was to harmonize the different articles. Would it be your opinion that transgenderism should also be removed from the phalloplasty article for the same reason? Thank you for your response in advance. --[[User:Luxdormiens|Luxdormiens]] ([[User talk:Luxdormiens|talk]]) 23:10, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
:Thanks for pointing out that link. Both medical procedures mentioned are relevant and practiced on multiple populations and should carefully consider [[WP:UNDUE]]. In general, I suggest limiting the sidebar template to pages that are listed in that template, or pages that are clearly children of those pages. It is possible to add multiple template links at the end of a page. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 23:01, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

== Regarding IGM bans and if there is an impact on male circumcision ==

Hi Trankuility, I hope you are well.

I was wondering a clarification on the scope of policies that ban non-consensual interventions upon intersex infants.

Do policies such as these only apply to intersex infants or does this also ban male circumcision?

I would like a clarification as banning male circumcision would effectively ban Judaism. I am aware there is a difference between IGM, FGM, and Male Circumcision. Does Malta's law only cover IGM?

I also tend to think that as more awareness on intersex rights builds that I think it would be good to clarify to the public that this does not also ban male circumcision.

Any insights? Clarifications? Should I be using different terminology?

Thanks,

[[User:TenorTwelve|TenorTwelve]] ([[User talk:TenorTwelve|talk]]) 23:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi {{u|TenorTwelve}}. I'm here much less these days so apologies for the delay. This page is also [[WP:NOTFORUM]], but you make a series of claims that are not actually connected, and [[straw man]] arguments. I respond below. 

1. Banning male circumcision would not effectively ban Judaism. Internally, there is significant debate within Judaism about the role of male circumcision. For example, arguments in favor of ending ritual male circumcision include:
* {{Cite news| last = Kasher| first = Rani| title = It’s 2017. Time to Talk About Circumcision| work = Haaretz| date = 2017-08-23| url = https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.808557}}
* {{Cite news| last = Ben-Nun| first = Yigal| title = It's Time to Give Up Circumcision| work = Haaretz| date = 2017-10-04| url = https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.815668}}

2. Malta's law, and other policy proposal that seek to ban intersex genital mutilation (a contested term, but you use it so I do here), seek not to eliminate all forms of genital surgery without exception, they seek to defer non-urgent surgeries until the recipient can decide for themselves. The issue is one of informed consent. So, the Maltese law does not ban male circumcision, but it does defer it and make it dependent on consent. 

3. If you want to argue that religiously motivated male circumcision should continue before children can consent to the procedure (and any other procedure) themselves then you are of course free to do so. 

4. It is possible to write laws protecting intersex children that do not have an impact on male circumcision but only protect specific groups. A consequence of law reform on male circumcision is not inevitable or intrinsic.

==You are my go-to person on this==
[http://www.isna.org/faq/ambiguous Here] the intersex society states that ambiguous genitalia are not the equivalent of an intersex condition. I've been creating content on vaginal anomalies and noted that the article [[Ambiguous genitalia]] redirects to [[Intersex]]. Almost all the medical literature returned from a google search shows that ambiguous genitalia is still the preferred term for genitalia that may not be 'normal' looking by researchers. I'd like your thoughts on this. Best Regards, [[User:Barbara (WVS)|Barbara (WVS)]]&nbsp;<span style="color: darkred;">[[User talk:Barbara (WVS)|✐ ]]&nbsp;[[Special:Emailuser/Barbara (WVS)|✉ ]]</span> 11:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
:Hi and thanks for your message. People born with ambiguous genitalia are intersex. Some intersex people are born with ambiguous genitalia, but not all intersex people have ambiguous genitalia. For example, other intersex traits may become evident later in life, particularly at puberty. This means that a redirection from ambiguous genitalia to intersex is reasonable, even though the term intersex refers to a larger group. Terminology is contested but intersex is the common term and appears to be more widely used by affected people than other terms. It is important also to note that the Intersex Society of North America closed a decade ago. Some of its website is still relevant, but not all of it.

:::There are two (or three) groups that use different terms to describe the topic of this article. I can't find any systematic reviews that use the term 'intersex', but I am certain that will soon change. That doesn't mean that the term 'intersex' is not accurate or can't be used, but the use in med literature is so much more complicated. Take [[Cloacal extrophy]] for example. The genitalia are seriously affected but 'intersex' is not used to describe this anomaly and it is always treated because it also seriously impacts the urinary system and without treatment, babies with this anomaly will die.

::::This is a contentious subject with debate about language, and with different kinds of institutions creating definitions.

You should note though that [[Causes of transsexuality]] cites studies of men with cloacal exstrophy raised female, and this seems dubious to me.

==Intersex nonconsensual interventions and sex assignment==

Hi Trankuility! First of all, thanks so much for all your work and also vigilance! I understand your revert of the third gender option aspects related to sex assignment in the articles on PAIS and CAIS. However, i wanted to ask for your opinion on this: Imho the idea of binary sex assignment being so important is very much linked to pressure for nonconsensual interventions on intersex children. Thus i thought it would be good to include in that section some part indicating that today the binary sex assignment is considered outdated and dangerous by more and more institutions. Do you think something like that should be in there? Because right now it sounds as if making sure children are boy or girl is mandatory, without explaining the changing attitute here and the fact that many countries have third gender options or are considering to drop gender designations. I am aware that sex is not gender, but officials etc. often take those synonymously and the pressure certainly arises from having to put children in one of the legal boxes. Thank you! :)

== Non-Western Intersex History  ==

Hello! I am a member of a college course on Women's and Gender Studies that is editing Wikipedia as an educational tool. I am interested in adding  more information on the [[intersex in history]] page about the history of intersex people in non-Western cultures, since the bulk of the included historical information is on Europe and doesn't reflect a global intersex historical experience.

As to the suggestion that much of my contribution might fit better on the [[Intersex people and religion]] page, I tried to structure my contributions similarly to some existing information on the [[Intersex in history]] page, and the [[Intersex people and religion]] page seems to be focused on current religious beliefs rather than the older ones I discuss in my work. Additionally, as a student editor, I am only able to edit one page for the purpose of my assignment. If you feel my work belongs elsewhere, you are welcome to move it once it goes live, or if this is an issue, I am happy to discuss it further.

== Queer ==

Please don't remove "queer" from the articles, there are homosexuals and trans people who don't "indentify" as queer either but the description is pretty widley used by and for LGBTQI groups.

== Regarding your edit ==

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:MobileDiff/1015841004&type=revision|this] I noticed you reverted my edit. Sure I will admit I made a mistake in that Edit but I explained the reason I removed, “ Intersex traits are not always visible at birth; while some infants may be born with ambiguous genitals, intersex traits may become evident prenatally, may manifest during puberty or become evident at other times.”

Was because it was already mentioned in the lead. [[User:CycoMa|CycoMa]] ([[User talk:CycoMa|talk]]) 01:58, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
:Everything in the lead, which is an introductory overview, should be properly explained in the article. See [[WP:CITELEAD]]. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 03:18, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

== Sorry about that ==

I’m sorry about that lazy comment on Timeline of intersex history. I instantly assumed the information was false without reading the article or reading the sources, I also was made a lazy comment and didn’t fully explain my issues with the article.[[User:CycoMa|CycoMa]] ([[User talk:CycoMa|talk]]) 05:40, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

== Equality Act (United States) page ==

Hi [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]],

I have been working on the [[Equality Act (United States)]] page and I would like to know your thoughts on the way the page has made mention of protection of the intersex community within the legislation. In the lead section of the page, there is a paragraph that currently reads: 

:Much like the ''Bostock v. Clayton County'' decision, the Equality Act broadly defines [[sex discrimination]] to include sexual orientation and gender identity, adding "[[pregnancy]], [[childbirth]], or a related medical condition of an individual, as well as because of sex-based [[stereotype]]s". The bill also defines this to include "[[intersex]] traits". The intended purpose of the Act is to legally protect individuals from discrimination based on such.<ref name=":12" />

I am wondering on the usage of quotes around intersex traits. Granted it is quoting the legislation, but I am worried it could come across as "scare quotes" or as a form of othering or the like.

Aside from the quotation question, is the phrase intersex traits acceptable? Does it come across as too clinical? Or should some other wording be used like "the bill also protects intersex individuals (or the intersex community) from discrimination under its definition of sex"? Or something like that or "the bill also considers discrimination against the intersex community to be a form of sex discrimination." Or would another wording be better? 

I appreciate the work you have done on intersex-related articles.

Thank you,

-[[User:TenorTwelve|TenorTwelve]] ([[User talk:TenorTwelve|talk]]) 06:23, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

== Don’t accuse people of POV pushing ==

Hey regarding your comment at [[5α-Reductase deficiency]] please assume good faith.
You can read in on [[WP:GOODFAITH]].

It’s never okay to accuse other editors of POV pushing. Like explain to me why you think Maneesh is POV pushing?[[User:CycoMa|CycoMa]] ([[User talk:CycoMa|talk]]) 06:23, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

:You are pushing a POV. What's more, I have described the POV carefully and accurately. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 10:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

::You been on here for over 7 years, you should know that accusing other editors of POV pushing is uncivil.[[User:CycoMa|CycoMa]] ([[User talk:CycoMa|talk]]) 20:20, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

:::I am quite careful with my words, but my comments were justified - they are quite obvious to most editors, I suspect, particularly given your very prominent claim to not be promoting propaganda on your home page. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 07:30, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Um Maneesh has been here for over 17 years. Do you really believe calling a person who’s been here that long as POV pushing?[[User:CycoMa|CycoMa]] ([[User talk:CycoMa|talk]]) 01:35, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Also you failed to explain to me why you think Maneesh is a POV pusher.[[User:CycoMa|CycoMa]] ([[User talk:CycoMa|talk]]) 02:08, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
:The length of service of an editor, and that editor pushing a POV are two unrelated characteristics. Your attempt to link them is surprising. My comments have been justified, and this appears to be supported by other editors including through identification of a [[WP:IDHT]] situation by another editor. Your comments on this page don't seem very useful. [[User:Trankuility|Trankuility]] ([[User talk:Trankuility#top|talk]]) 08:37, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
