hello, I'm here to ask about something that confused me in the
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Female_(gender). you seemed to indicate that the SEP distinguishes between "female gender" and "woman". I only see that in the lead, it only distinguishes between female sex and woman, which is what it calls gender. In so doing, they distinguished sex (being female or male) from gender (being a woman or a man), although most ordinary language users appear to treat the two interchangeably.
[1]
it does talk about a "women's gender", which Wikipedia calls "female gender, the gender of women", but I'm not sure that's what SEP meant—being a woman is the gender, just like being a female is the sex.
further, discussion of Butler's work also doesn't seem to produce this distinction, for the same reasons—her arguments merely seek to deny any essential core of "woman" and do not posit any "female gender".
Butler’s view is that ‘woman’ can never be defined in a way that does not prescribe some “unspoken normative requirements” (like having a feminine personality) that women should conform to (Butler 1999, 9). Butler takes this to be a feature of terms like ‘woman’ that purport to pick out (what she calls) ‘identity categories’. She seems to assume that ‘woman’ can never be used in a non-ideological way (Moi 1999, 43) and that it will always encode conditions that are not satisfied by everyone we think of as women.

I see part of the reason for your decision in the Eyferth Study RFC was that "Racial Hederitarianism" is "fringe". Considering that voting is not a substitute for an argument, what kind of evidence, independent of a vote among Wikipedia editors, would convince you that Hederitarianism is not fringe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:581:C180:1980:998A:2971:EF34:F150 ( talk) 17:20, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I've been seeing your name quite a bit recently, and it reminded me of those long-ass WP:RSN threads about the reliability of British outlets on trans topics. I just wanted to say: I was given a subscription to The Telegraph, and I've been regretting my vote ever since; its transphobia is as blatant as it gets. As I recall, I didn't find the evidence convincing, but I wish I'd just read the Telegraph for myself. I feel pretty darn stupid now. So, all I wanted to say is, I'm deeply sorry, and you can count on my vote the next time such a discussion is held. DFlhb ( talk) 21:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words, but I don't think I should stick around that discussion. Nor do I want to be seen as canvassed, because it looks like our views on the matter are quite similar. In my view, two people arguing the same points isn't necessary. casualdejekyll 19:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
You seem to be repeatedly using sources (if you even bother to read them, as your huge 'MEDRS quality' revert suggests you don't) in a way which leaves out stuff you don't like. Like just now, erasing when a source says something is 'pseudoscience' but leaving the rest in. This is called cherry-picking; this is called POV-pushing. I think the Project, and probably you, are not benefitting from this. Bon courage ( talk) 17:13, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Every item in the left column—showing capitalization—is not a title immediately followed by a name—it's a title that's the object of a verb
On the right column, we get a little more variation: titles that are the objects of verbs ... AND titles that exist independent of the name they precede—not functioning as adjectives but as subjects ....
Hey. Inspired somewhat by this comment, plus what I've seen over the last few years.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Beccaynr ( talk) 18:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
Changes challenged by reversion may not be reinstated without affirmative consensus on the talk page

I could drop on your user talk page over this, but in the interest of
not templating the regulars, I'll just let you know that dropping this template itself looks extremely
WP:INVOLVED of you, and I really would suggest that you not threaten editors who fully understand what an edit war is with a block. There is nothing disruptive about how Loki is behaving in my view, and I think you should avoid templating him and let somebody else do it if there truly is a problem with his behavior.

This remark appears to me that you have taken a story on disinformation and turned it around to claim it is in fact Cass herself who is misrepresenting what others said and her reviews and the two systematic reviews that were commissioned. It is a extremely ironic that Snokalok is citing BLP concerns (which apply to talk pages too) and you rush in with allegations that Cass is "misrepresenting what other people said (or even her own report)". You might want to strike that. Especially when we have Hansard reporting what other people said, and her own report and the two systematic reviews that were commissioned agree with Cass. Even a primary school child could do the maths on this, or a simple word search would uncover that none of these documents insist on blinded RCTs for the evidence they use. Both are matters that Cass has twice complained about, to the Times and the BBC, so it isn't just me. Doubling-down on misinformation, as you appear to be doing, is getting into topic ban territory. I strongly advise you strike your comment and go read the actual review and supporting papers.
There are differences of opinion for sure on how to interpret evidence and what to do in the absense of good evidence and there are always differences of approach in medicine. But these are matters of basic facts that are being spun deliberately to discredit the review. If the review has flaws, let's have science and facts determine that, not bullshit.

Thanks for restoring the deletion I made on the reliable sources noticeboard. I apologize. It was accidental. I don't recall making the deletion or even recall looking at the reliable sources page today. So, a brain fart, I guess. Smallchief ( talk) 16:38, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I wanted to let you know that <strike>1+1=1</strike> has been deprecated in HTML5, and thus creates lint errors. This means that browsers might decide to stop supporting <strike> at any time, when it will literally be rendered like <strike>this</strike>. Luckily, there is an easy fix: either <s>this</s> or <del>this</del> work just fine! It is beyond me why the WMF cannot do some tech magic to continue supporting <strike>. Unfortunately, I would bet against a fix... House Blaster talk 19:06, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

You broke some stuff, looked like some kind of edit conflict/overwrite, as I'm guessing you didn't mean to actually add 191k worth of page addition. You might sift through that in the history and add it back without the edit conflict. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 03:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Quick question: I was under the impression that the RFC should be closed by an uninvolved editor. Am I incorrect in this assumption? 2600:1012:B043:216D:E142:1465:184D:3D75 ( talk) 23:03, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at [[ the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic The EyeFerth Study. Thank you. 2600:1700:1250:6D80:947A:51E4:EB45:1FB4 ( talk) 21:48, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
I see part of the reason for your decision in the Eyferth Study RFC was that "Racial Hederitarianism" is "fringe". Considering that voting is not a substitute for an argument, what kind of evidence, independent of a vote among Wikipedia editors, would convince you that Hederitarianism is not fringe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:581:C180:1980:998A:2971:EF34:F150 ( talk) 17:20, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
I've been seeing your name quite a bit recently, and it reminded me of those long-ass WP:RSN threads about the reliability of British outlets on trans topics. I just wanted to say: I was given a subscription to The Telegraph, and I've been regretting my vote ever since; its transphobia is as blatant as it gets. As I recall, I didn't find the evidence convincing, but I wish I'd just read the Telegraph for myself. I feel pretty darn stupid now. So, all I wanted to say is, I'm deeply sorry, and you can count on my vote the next time such a discussion is held. DFlhb ( talk) 21:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind words, but I don't think I should stick around that discussion. Nor do I want to be seen as canvassed, because it looks like our views on the matter are quite similar. In my view, two people arguing the same points isn't necessary. casualdejekyll 19:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
You seem to be repeatedly using sources (if you even bother to read them, as your huge 'MEDRS quality' revert suggests you don't) in a way which leaves out stuff you don't like. Like just now, erasing when a source says something is 'pseudoscience' but leaving the rest in. This is called cherry-picking; this is called POV-pushing. I think the Project, and probably you, are not benefitting from this. Bon courage ( talk) 17:13, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Loki, my apologies because I think my response at AN/I was snippier than I intended. It certainly is my belief that less things should be escalated to that board, but as ever, reasonable minds can differ on the proposition. I genuinely value your contributions, and felt I should make that clear. Cheers. Dumuzid ( talk) 15:41, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Not to be dramatic but I was really starting to feel a little crazy and bullied in there, which is so silly for a discussion that is supposed to be based on facts. Anyway, I appreciate your point of view a lot and you working to keep things fair so everyone can contribute, including a newbie like me. Thank you again and have a wonderful day!!

Alpha3031 ( t • c) 15:23, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Hey! I realize it might be an issue of clarity on my part, so I'm wondering if you could elaborate what led to your first/second sentence
here regarding MOS titles. That is, what did you think I was saying such that you thought "Mitterrand was the French president
" was a counterexample?--

Theresa May was the prime minister of the United Kingdom.", which I included.-- Jerome Frank Disciple 14:04, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Every item in the left column—showing capitalization—is not a title immediately followed by a name—it's a title that's the object of a verb
On the right column, we get a little more variation: titles that are the objects of verbs ... AND titles that exist independent of the name they precede—not functioning as adjectives but as subjects ....
Hey. Inspired somewhat by this comment, plus what I've seen over the last few years. Do you think we're at the point now where a stand alone article on transphobia in the British media would pass GNG, instead of being interspersed throughout Transgender rights in the United Kingdom?

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Beccaynr ( talk) 18:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
Changes challenged by reversion may not be reinstated without affirmative consensus on the talk page

I could drop on your user talk page over this, but in the interest of
not templating the regulars, I'll just let you know that dropping this template itself looks extremely
WP:INVOLVED of you, and I really would suggest that you not threaten editors who fully understand what an edit war is with a block. There is nothing disruptive about how Loki is behaving in my view, and I think you should avoid templating him and let somebody else do it if there truly is a problem with his behavior.

I can recall many on-site situations that would've been resolved a lot quicker if users only had the guts to post what they knew at the time.
It's not a question of guts, but one of policy. Per

Thank you for saying what the majority of us were thinking in the 'Distasteful? (in re death of Kissinger)' discussion. Even if that last part was a little innacurate taking into account policy, the overall message is something I'm sure the majority of active participants in the discussion were thinking.

Hi! I'm brand new to being an editor on Wikipedia, so I don't know if commenting here is the correct etiquette on this site, but I just wanted to let you know that I saw the archived talk pages on the EMDR topic and reading through the arguments on there made me start my Wiki account. Reading through the back and forth, you are so right. It's wild how you were being treated in those discussions. I don't understand what is going on with the other editors but I just wanted to let you know that you are correct and I'm sorry that they were treating you so poorly. It was wild to read.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 11:46, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
This remark appears to me that you have taken a story on disinformation and turned it around to claim it is in fact Cass herself who is misrepresenting what others said and her reviews and the two systematic reviews that were commissioned. It is a extremely ironic that Snokalok is citing BLP concerns (which apply to talk pages too) and you rush in with allegations that Cass is "misrepresenting what other people said (or even her own report)". You might want to strike that. Especially when we have Hansard reporting what other people said, and her own report and the two systematic reviews that were commissioned agree with Cass. Even a primary school child could do the maths on this, or a simple word search would uncover that none of these documents insist on blinded RCTs for the evidence they use. Both are matters that Cass has twice complained about, to the Times and the BBC, so it isn't just me. Doubling-down on misinformation, as you appear to be doing, is getting into topic ban territory. I strongly advise you strike your comment and go read the actual review and supporting papers.
There are differences of opinion for sure on how to interpret evidence and what to do in the absense of good evidence and there are always differences of approach in medicine. But these are matters of basic facts that are being spun deliberately to discredit the review. If the review has flaws, let's have science and facts determine that, not bullshit. You are in moon landing conspiracy territory. -- Colin° Talk 17:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
