Draft of Contributions to Change:

In the Translations section we plan to add more on Wendy Doniger and her "Redeeming the Kamasutra.”  Such as:

Wendy Doniger’s translation of the Kama Sutra has been deemed more accurate than Sir Richard Frances Burton’s 1883 translation. Her modernized translation shed a light on topics in the original Kama Sutra that were possibly mistranslated by Burton. Doniger’s translation highlights the texts regarding women’s pleasure and includes a chapter on the third gender.

Also we're going to link the Kama Sutra Wikipedia to the Hinduism and LGBT topics. In the Hinduism and LGBT topics wiki they elaborate on the queerness present in the original Kamasutra and have a section dedicated to the third gender.
