 * Yes, the first sentence of the lead describes the basis of what gender binary is and defines it in a clear way.

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions


 * The talk page has a few conversations and some suggested edits, but is sort of lacking.
 * This article is rated C-class and is part of four WikiProjects.
 * Wikipedia definitely talks about this topic in a more in-depth, factual way than in class, and it gives different perspectives on gender binary than we talked about in class.

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions


 * I think this article is a good start, but is definitely lacking.
 * The article's strengths are that it has a lot of great sources, definitions and also talks about some critiques.
 * This article can definitely be expanded by talking about more theories surrounding gender binary and also having more conversation in the talk page.
 * I think this article is very averagely developed. It has what it needs but could definitely be expanded on.
