The editor who added the speedy deletion template claims that there are "multiple articles" about methods of passing as female. Which articles are these? As far as I can tell, this is the very first article of this nature.
There are indeed articles about hormone replacement therapy and gender reassignment surgery, but there are no articles which cover how to pass as male or as female in the context of all who may wish to do so, including crossdressers, drag kings/queens, and the broader community of trans people, many of whom will not use the more permanent methods of hormones and surgery.
The content of this article and the Methods of passing as male article was broken out of the Passing (gender) article, whose primary topic is the social aspect of passing, not the mechanics of how it is accomplished. These "mechanics" sections described the various forms of clothing, prosthetics, makeup, and other methods used for passing, and these seemed better-suited to their own pages, which I created.
There are currently several articles about the various temporary methods: Breast binding and Packing (phallus) for passing as male, and Cleavage enhancement, Female masking, and Hip and buttock padding for passing as female. These could potentially be combined into their respective methods-of-passing articles, or the methods-of-passing articles could exist in their current form, as a way for users to find the articles about the various methods.
Regardless, I have not yet seen evidence demonstrating that Methods of passing as female meets the criteria for speedy deletion. Riverstones ( talk) 17:16, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
