Helping out, but sure needs makeover

I shall help as best as I can with wikilinks, copyediting, citations and all. But this article sure needs a makeover! Especially how to connect the different sentences into one-topic paragraphs and all. Brenne (talk) 04:42, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I made the preceding comment after working on the intro and "In Society" section. Today I notice the rest of the article is much better (my apologies for making such a rash statement.) I'll see what I can do about the "In Society" section (but others are welcome to help too, of course). Thanks. Brenne (talk) 12:49, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Too US centric

This article is very heavily US centric and unbalanced. Needs more of a global and neutral point of view and less about the US. 2001:14BA:2F8:F700:9189:8FEA:50C4:E752 (talk) 10:32, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Problems in the Transgender inequality in Asia section

The section "Transgender inequality in Asia" has a few problems. For one, I couldn't verify some of the claims within some of the sources used. In particular "The stigma is spread in society through the cultural and social atmosphere. Transgender is not discussed openly in Asian culture". I don't doubt that's true, but this is very sweeping for a paper that was only dealing with a study on methodology in Hong Kong, which actually wasn't about trans students, but anyone in the LGBT. I don't doubt that the claim is true, but I don't think this is the best source for this.

Secondly, "This minority stress intensified and marginalized transgender's identity, which manufactured reduce allowance to public service". While I could verify this, it seems like the source for this statement is speaking generally, and it writes on the issue from a global perspective, so it probably doesn't belong in this section.

And this "The government established laws that target transgender people and prevent them from benefiting in society", well, it says "the government". Which one?

I'm going to rewrite a few things, but some more help on bringing this section up would definitely be appreciated. Maxx-♥ talk and coffee ☕ 12:43, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
