Option 1

 * Cultural competence
 * I really like how this article highlights the skills that makeup what it means to be culturally competent. I like how the first skill includes an example, and I think including examples for the other four skills could help concretize them for readers. I would also provide a brief description of the three quantitative assessment instruments mentioned on the page. Finally, under the healthcare section, I would include more information about recent measures taken to promote cultural competency in medical schools to cover the topic from an educational aspect as well. This article is neutral, but it tends to expand on some information and omit others, so I would make sure all components are detailed equally.

Option 2

 * Gender bias in medical diagnosis
 * I like how the article provides differences in gendered statistics surrounding Coronary heart disease to explain the real-time effects of gender bias in medical diagnosis and treatment. However, after mentioning this discrepancy, it is simply just explained as a result of medical bias, which comes off as a subjective statement without elaboration. After providing objective reasoning, I would then move on to include other objective examples as well. However, I really do like how this page is so comprehensive, touching on so many relevant aspects of the topic as a whole, especially making sure to include historical context.

Option 3

 * Transgender health care
 * I really like that this page had a section on the health experiences of transgender patients. However, the page briefly summarizes the negative nature of these experiences and includes one statistic, which gives rise to the appearance of a more subjective and unsupported take on the topic. I would want to include more of a comprehensive and objective history on how transgender individuals have been treated by the healthcare system, which definitely includes adding more statistics. I also do like that the article had sections on mental health and access, but I would like to elaborate on access to particular mental health resources by, for example, spotlighting organizations that may be helping with this cause (or the lack of these organizations, depending on the country/region of focus). I would also like to include a section on the intersection of race and transgender identity within this topic to enhance the article's intersectional nature.
