Hello world! I am Lisenka, a neuropsychologist by education, a copywriter by profession. Because of my inborn love for my native language and science, I try to fight the Wikipedia epidemic of the lack of feminatives. An émigré from the Polish Wikipedia — after being informed by Polish editors that creating a category under the name "LGBT politicians" is unencyclopedic, I gave up on trying to better the wiki in my mother tongue.

More about me
My passion is the history of fashion and underwear, in which I have been working for years and I try to educate, especially due to the fact that many busts (still) are tortured by too small bras. I am a queer person and I have the well-being of people in our community at heart, so I try to look for good opportunities to add queer entries to the Wikipedia.

I am very sensitive to archaic, stigmatizing, unscientific language in mental health articles that is not in line with the idea of encyclopaedia, such as "mental retardation". Furthermore, I try to catch such shameful details and correct them as efficiently as possible, and this is the hill for which I most want to die. The language we use on Wikipedia is of paramount importance, and it is the duty of Wikipedians to keep it up-to-date, especially those of us who are familiar with the psychology of language and the effects that language has on the perception of social groups.

Even more about me
I am a staunch inclusionist; I believe that humanity and nature are so rich that we cannot catalogue all phenomena anyway, but we can try to make the traditional view of what is worthy of attention a thing of the past. Epistemic injustice is my guidepost here and requires that we give a chance to phenomena from the margins of life to appear on Wikipedia and enable people who live in regions with low-quality education to self-educate also when it comes to daily life issues. I've edited the Wiki without an account for many years, so the history on this is pretty sparse and doesn't reflect all my edits.

I am deeply - deeply - convinced that removing articles about women for no good reason (no, "I don't know who that is" is not a good reason), removing feminatives, and stubbornly removing sources from articles is an act of wikivandalism.
