Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Ray Blanchard. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add ((cbignore))
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add ((nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot))
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ((Sourcecheck))
).
The articles on many known researchers and thinkers have a section dedicated to criticisms of their ideas, as are many other articles on things with a certain stance. And even this article says WPATH reject Blanchard's work and trans people criticise it, so there is some mention of this here, this doesn't even create an image that his position is well beloved and accepted. The "criticism", section is standard, why isn't it here? Tomer 070 (talk) 05:42, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, there's a sentence, "Within the transgender community the idea has been criticized," is missing a comma, as in "Within the transgender community, the idea has been criticized;" however, I fell changing to "The idea has been criticized by the transgender community." feels more direct and slightly more clear.
Should this edit (A) just correct the missing comma, or (B) should it be changed?
===Typology of transsexualism===
((main|Blanchard's transsexualism typology))
Blanchard coined the term "autogynephilia" to describe [[Trans woman|trans women]] with an erotic desire "to be women," and hypothesized that all gender dysphoria experienced by this group is of two types: "homosexual" gender dysphoria and "non-homosexual" gender dysphoria. Blanchard defined the former as being present in [[transsexuals]] attracted to men, while he defined the latter as being present in transsexuals attracted to the idea of themselves as women.<ref>((Cite journal

@Hooky6 and Zenomonoz: can we talk about the recent edits? I'm with Zenomonoz, in that it makes no sense to put content that has nothing about Blanchard's views on transgender people into §Views on transgender people. The rewrite of the 4thWaveNow is a clear worsening: it's both longer and less specific to say "has included the 4thWaveNow article in its 'Roundup of Anti-LGBT Activities'" rather than the well-supported "described as an anti-trans website". Hooky, you claimed in an edit summary that you are not edit warring, and I posted at templated warning about edit warring at your talk page. Please read the associated policy links, as the behavior you've engaged in is 100% edit warring. I encourage you to self-revert. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 14:39, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
