Recap of the last few days on Wikipedia:

I just updated the articles transgender youth and gender dysphoria in children to better address the "most kids desist" bullshit, and I'll be pleasantly surprised if some transphobic editors don't take issue. The former discussed it excessively in the lead as if the positions held equal weight, the latter didn't discuss the criticisms well enough, and neither mentioned the 2022 systematic review which found desistance research to be poor quality, biased, and irrelevant.

I also updated the transgender genocide article to better describe the Nazi's genocide. I'm going to update it to include more context on transgender rights before the Nazis since it's important to make it clear the genocide was in the context of pre-existing progress for transgender rights, to remind us progress isn't linear.

In other Wikipedia highlights: the transphobe edit warring for posie parker was topic-banned from GENSEX related articles ("any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated peoples, broadly construed") for a year, and was blocked immediately after for ignoring it. I can't lie, I was laughing my ass off about the fact I was the third person to warn them of the arbitration discussion, saying "I also suggest you engage in the DS case, or don't as you seem intent to shoot yourself in the foot and I'm not particularly inclined to stop you", and they went and shot themselves in the foot by replying and getting themselves blocked... Schadenfreude, one of the simple pleasure in life, y'know?

And I almost forgot, I protected the Irreversible Damage article from some drive by pseudoscience and misgendering.
