Gender Attribution section kinda weird
editSo I was trying to do typical WikiGnome things and edit grammar and wording, but I found the last sentence of the Gender Attribution section to be strangely worded to the point I wasn't even really able to understand the point they were trying to make.
This concept can be summarized by the work of SJ Kessler, W McKenna and H Garfinkel, "This not directly visible 'cultural genital'[11] which is expected to be there "exists in a cultural sense if the person is assumed to have it".[12]
Just as well, the references don't have any links and appear to be formatted incorrectly and confusingly.
I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia but this was just one minor problem in an article full of problems that I noticed and wondered if anybody else had any opinions on what to do.
Thanks folks~

- I agree it is confusingly worded and does not describe gender attribution well to a lay person. Urchincrawler (talk) 12:03, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

On the "Risks of Not Passing" Section
editIt seems to focus largely on the negative impacts trans people as a whole face without connecting it to passing. Some trans people do pass while others don't, so using data on all trans people (both those who do and don't pass) doesn't adequately express the risks of not passing. I will be looking for sources specifically about the importance of passing and info on the hardships non passing trans people's experiences. If anyone else has any info with sources on that please add them to this section. Urchincrawler (talk) 16:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Added to "Sex determination (disambiguation)"
editI have added a link to this article from Sex determination (disambiguation).
For the disambiguation entry, I wrote:
- Passing (gender), relating to the perception of gender, especially of transgender people
Please make sure this is correct and improve upon it if you can. Jruderman (talk) 22:58, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
