= Article Evaluation: Gender Taxonomy =

Yes, the article is relevant to the article topic where it talks about classifications of different gender/sexual characteristics
 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic?
 * Is there anything that distracted you?

The article is fashioned in a way that is factual and academical but not specific, so there was not any distracting information that was leading towards biased, misleading, or persuasive directions. Gender Taxonomy itself is not a term. It seems like it is something came by Wikipedia. The more relevant phrase for this term is Taxonomy of Gender, where it is a topic under both gender and taxonomy of biology. In that case, more description of the term taxonomy should be provided for clear understanding of this topic.

Some descriptions of definitions are not even correct and is really negatively biased. My formal psychology of human sexual behavior would faint if she sees these accurate definitions.

The information from this article could be outdated if there are any new scientific findings or editing to the definition of the term. Definitions and explanations of the terms, ideas, and classifications could be added to give better understanding. Citations should be added. Information of the idea of "Gender Taxonomy" and varies gender characteristics should be provided in a more complete way under this article. Origin of the findings and the history detail should be added to help making the article more reliable and academical.
 * Is any information out of date?
 * Is anything missing that could be added?
 * What else could be improved?

Many information provide are not accurately valid and nonacademic.

No the article is not neutral. Some definitions given is biased enough that it is not even accurate and many definitions are just simply not academical and incorrect. Yes, some of the claims of explanations are biased negative position toward neutral definitions. More viewpoints of this topic can be and should be provided for this article, and correct explanations are underrepresented.
 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are over represented, or underrepresented?

Edit: Taxis in Greek means arrangement and nomos in Greek means law. Taxonomy is the classification by organizing similarities and differences between groups. Good taxonomy concepts should have organizing system that is simple and easy to understand because the classifications should not be conflicting and unambiguous. Taxonomy of biology, or biology classification, focuses on the scientific way of classifying living organisms.


 * The gender taxonomy is a classification of the range of different levels at which humans vary in sexual characteristics. It is mainly used by medical specialists working in the area of sex research. John Money and Milton Diamond are probably the best known researchers in this field. Money earned his PhD for research into human hermaphroditism and pseudohermaphroditism, now known as intersex conditions. The taxonomy starts at the simplest, biological level and traces differentiation expressed at the increasingly complicated levels produced over the course of the human life cycle.


 * Chromosomes (46,XX; 46,XY; 47,XXY ("Klinefelter's syndrome"); 45,X0 ("Turner syndrome"); 47,XYY; 47,XXX ("Triple X syndrome"); XXXX syndrome; XXXXX syndrome, 48,XXYY syndrome, 46,XX/XY mosaic, other mosaic, and others)
 * Gonads (testes, ovaries, one of each, ovotestes, other types of gonadal dysgenesis)
 * Hormones (androgens: including testosterone; estrogens, including estradiol, estriol, estrone; antiandrogens and others)
 * Genitals (primary sexual characteristics — see diagram for the "six class system")
 * Secondary sexual characteristics (dimorphic physical characteristics, other than primary characteristics)
 * Brain structure (special kinds of secondary characteristics, due to their influence on psychology and behaviour)
 * Gender identity (psychological identification with either of the two main sexes)
 * Gender role (social conformity with expectations for either of the two main sexes)
 * Erotic preference (gynephilia, androphilia, bisexuality, asexuality and various paraphilias)

Gendered Sexuality Taxonomy[edit]
Contemporary definitions and conceptualizations of sex, gender, and sexuality lack sufficient subtlety to adequately describe the full range of human sexuality (Devor, 1994).

A taxonomy of gendered sexuality, presented below, can better define the terms relevant to human sexuality and takes into account the interaction over time among sex, gender, and sexual fantasies, desires, practices of persons in intimate relationships at both the level of self-identity and attribution by others.

The taxonomy is a combination of classifications based on the genetic sexes of persons in relationships and categorizations based on those persons' social genders to arrive at classifications of gendered sexuality.

Terminology for this taxonomy was drawn from everyday language and can be used for descriptive, diagnostic, and theoretical purposes. Une taxonomie de base de la sexualité de genre

Biological Taxonomy[edit]
Edit: The biological Taxonomy should contain numeric facts, evidence, and detail explanations. It should be more academical with less assumptions. Many of the explanations were subjective based up assumptions and stereotypes but not rationally correct. The topic of surgical implications on sexual biology and intersex, and their relation to social taxonomy of gender are important and should be discussed academically in this Article. A taxonomy of gender also includes biological classifications of a range of sexual characteristics, which develop over one’s life cycle. The purely biological level of classifications includes chromosomes, which categorize female sex chromosome abnormalities and male sex chromosome abnormalities.

Turner Syndrome is a result from one of female sex chromosome abnormalities. Females inherit only one X chromosome (genotype is X0). Many do not survive birth and if they do they are shorter in stature and usually lack secondary female sexual characteristics. Their ovaries do not develop properly so they are sterile. If given estrogen replacement therapy around the age of puberty, women with Turner syndrome appear relatively normal.[3] Edit: Instead of many do not survive, its most with this syndrome do not survive with 99% are miscarriage. People with turner syndrome do not 'lack' secondary female sexual characteristics, they usually have conditions of 'slow' or "no" sexual development at puberty. Children with tuner syndrome have implications of serious physical and psychological conditions, without careful monitoring some conditions can result in serious situation. Triple-X Syndrome is another syndrome that occurs from a female sex chromosome abnormality. Females inherit three or more X chromosomes (genotype is XXX). These “super-females” or “meta-females” appear normal except for their unusually long legs and slender torsos. They tend to be emotionally immature for their size but emotionally mature in relation to girls their same age. They sometimes have learning difficulties, usually in speech and language. Women with Triple-X syndrome are fertile but can have premature ovarian failure.[3]

Klinefelter Syndrome is a syndrome resulting from a male sex chromosome abnormality. Males inherit one or more extra X chromosomes (genotype is XXY). They have higher-pitched voices with little facial and body hair. In childhood, they have learning difficulties and are more likely to be overweight. Boys are usually given testosterone at the age of puberty and often sterile. Men with Down syndrome sometimes also have Klinefelter syndrome.[3] Edit: The wordings are very biased and has no actual example of evidence of numeric facts to back it up. Accorfing to Hock, chldren with Klinfelter Syndrome has usually show latency in learning development, but no actual mental impairment(no retard). Children with this syndrome will usually get caught up in learning and leaning problems can be minimized with help.

Edit: Also, it is inaccurate that boys are usually given testosterone or being sterilized. Because the abnormality is usually due to the extra X in male body, with the current technology the masculine development can be manipulated by dealing with the level of hormones in the body. XYY Syndrome is also a syndrome resulting from a male sex chromosome abnormality. Males inherit an extra Y chromosome (genotype is XYY). These “super-males” appear normal but are usually taller and produce higher levels of testosterone. In childhood they are more slender, have severe acne, are very uncoordinated, and have below average intelligence. Males with XYY syndrome are fertile and are not often aware that they have an abnormality.[3]

Social Taxonomy[edit]
Edit: This whole section is actually invalid. The social taxonomy of gender should focus on the all the varies type of social/societal gender identities,or roles that are and can be compared and contrasted with the biological taxonomy of gender, not the erotic preferences. Erotic preferences should be under the topic of human sexuality, since they are and should be considered as neutral to gender. Taxonomies of gender can also include social classifications. The social classifications include erotic preferences, such as paraphilia. Paraphilia is defined recurrent sexual, intense, urges and sexually arousing fantasies generally involving nonhuman objects, the humiliation of oneself, partners, children, or other non-consenting individuals. It has also been determined to be a mental illness. There are several different types of paraphilias that exist and the DSM V includes seven specific paraphilias: exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, masochism, sadism, voyeurism, and transvestite fetishism. Edit: The definition of Paraphilia is not even close to accurate. According to Roger R. Hock, paraphilia is defined as :compulsive sexual activities that are practiced by a small percentage of people and that most members of a given culture would consider abnormal, deviant, or pathological. The word paraphilia, in greek- philia means attraction and para means abnormal, the literal translation of the world means "abnormal attraction"

Edit: The DSM classification of paraphilias as mental illness "only" when these behaviors cost distress and impairment in life, to the person him/her-self and to the surrounding people, lasting or consisting for certain amount of period. Exhibitionism is the recurrent urge or behavior to expose one’s genitals to an unsuspecting person.

Fetishism is the use of non-sexual or non-living objects to gain sexual excitement.

Frotteurism is the recurrent urges or behavior of touching or rubbing against a non-consenting person.

Masochism is the recurrent urge of behavior of wanting to be humiliated, beaten, bound, or in anyway made to suffer.

Sadism is the recurrent urge or behavior involving acts in which the pain or humiliation of the victim is sexually exciting.

Voyeurism is the recurrent urge or behavior to observe an unsuspecting person who is naked, getting undressed, or engaging in sexual activities or may not be sexual in nature at all.[5] However, the focus of the abnormality of paraphila is how these people are "sexually aroused" instead of the behaviors they conduct.
