Asking since you have greater expertise than I regarding intersex people. Per 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.

Hi Trankuility, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 19:42, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
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: [1] Reaction from OII: [2] The letter: [3]
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!!!!!

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. --Luxdormiens (talk) 23:10, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
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,
TenorTwelve (talk) 23:13, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
HiTenorTwelve. 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:
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. Trankuility (talk) 02:31, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Looks like your recent edit to the Discrimination against intersex people article causes five duplicate reference definition errors. Looks like a bot actually made the edit, but it is credited with your username -- so I'm a bit confused. Either way, are you able to fix the errors your edit created in the article? -- Mikeblas (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
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, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 11:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
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! :) --Mangostaniko (talk) 22:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
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. If you have any tips, advice, or relevant sources, I would appreciate it! Thanks so much! Magnolier (talk) 06:13, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
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. I think useing the term to explain contexts where intersex people are inclused in the lgbtqi context is easy and helpful.★Trekker (talk) 23:34, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[1] 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. CycoMa (talk) 01:58, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HiTrankuility,
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:
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,
