Which article are you evaluating?
Gender binary

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article to evaluate because it relates to specifically gender in my Gender and Marriage in Chinese Popular Media class. This topic matters because it focuses on the gender expression, roles, and identities performed in different cultures. My first impression of this article was that is was brief and informational about the topic. The article clearly defined gender as a social construct and not correlated with biology.

Evaluate the article
I think this article can include more pictures for examples such as gender spectrum graphs or illustrations of masculine, feminine, or androgynous people throughout history and so on. This article mentioned how certain languages are gendered, but I think they can also include how there is already non binary vocabulary that exists in the language. Or how non binary language is being created recently. One part of the article that I found distracting was the major religion(s)'s viewpoints in the General Aspects section. It explained how some religions believe in the gender binary system, which I felt it was out of place due to the rest of the information relating to intersex people and going beyond the gender binary. I thought the references were adequate and that all of the links worked properly. Of course it is always better to add more references, so I would recommend that. Overall, I think this article is a good introduction to what exactly the gender binary is and the history behind it. There is important information about intersex people and different culture's expressions of gender, such as the Hijra and Two-Spirit Indigenous Peoples of North-America.
