This week on #wikipedia

It's been pretty slow, I'm still working on the family education trust piece so I've mostly been on the defensive on Wikipedia against #antitrans attacks

A transphobe (who's been on Wikipedia a while has been targeting the #posieparker/#kelliejaykeen article. Mostly removing KJK's connections to far right people and movements (such as her support for #tommyrobinson, the face of the far right in the UK, or photos with #proudboys). Occasionally throwing in shit to try and make KJK's unhinged harassment of trans people seem like a valid criticism (such as adding OR about #mridulwadhwa), or just removing details of it.

The editor also objected to the fact it was reported that #heartsofoak had shown up at one of KJK's rallies and been right in the rally's center live-streaming. Due to our sourcing policies, we can't include the fact that even other TERFs in their blogs raised concerns about them and noted KJK refused to condemn them. But anyways, that inspired me to write a section on Hearts of Oak on Tommy Robinson's page:

Finally, some transphobe made an account to try to edit the page for the Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (#segm) to claim that ROGD is real (and not discredited) and that conversion therapy can only apply to LGB but not trans people (which is absolutely false). Luckily, they gave up after 4 edits. Their edit comments foretold the reversal of their content, along with screeds about how I obviously have an agenda because I'm trans.

Moving on, I plan to make a few edits this evening when I get back from an outing. Namely, remove the 80% desistance propaganda uncritically stated as fact (which a review of the literature found to be BS):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_youth

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detransition

https://doi.org/10.1089/trgh.2020.0129

I also plan to continue working on the family education trust article. Got all the sources mentioning FET, currently working on those mentioning their old name "family and youth concern", and then going to review sources mentioning their original name "the responsible society".
