Yes, under the gender identity article are some references and sources of where the information was found. All of the references that I looked through was related to the topic and the material of gender identity.

Everything that the article mention was relevant to the topic of gender identity. However it would have been better if the article could have more specifics on some topics, such as the Butler's Views. Other than that all the information and facts relate back to the topic.

The article is leaning more towards the acceptance of gender identity and the expression of it. The article doesn't use any slurs or talks down on people who do not identify with cis gender. However the article does provide a counterargument and the different perspectives of gender identity.

The information comes form multiple sources that either have a neutral or biased opinion on gender identity acceptance. The sources talk about the society view point on people who identify as something different then what they were born into. It also talked about how the public opinion of acceptance changed throughout the decades, and how people are more open minded now, than they have been in the past.

The views of gender identity are presented appropriately based on he amount of knowledge that we have on gender study today. The information and opinions that were presented and pieced together did the topic justice.

A lot of the references cite, did not have links, but the ones that did are true to the article. There was no plagiarism and very few paraphrasing, most of the article was done in their own words.

The information gets updated every time something important happens, such as discovering the name of a new gender category. However while presenting new information, the article also talks about the history, and the upcoming idea, and science of gender identity.

Before: Parents who do not support gender nonconformity are more likely to have children with firmer and stricter views on gender identity and gender roles.[51] Recent literature suggests a trend towards less well-defined gender roles and identities, as studies of parental coding of toys as masculine, feminine, or neutral indicate that parents increasingly code kitchens and in some cases dolls as neutral rather than exclusively feminine.[58] However, Emily Kane found that many parents still showed negative responses to items, activities, or attributes that were considered feminine, such as domestic skills, nurturance, and empathy.[58] Research has indicated that many parents attempt to define gender for their sons in a manner that distances the sons from femininity,[58] with Kane stating that “the parental boundary maintenance work evident for sons represents a crucial obstacle limiting boys options, separating boys from girls, devaluing activities marked as feminine for both boys and girls, and thus bolstering gender inequality and heteronormativity.”[58]

Many parents form gendered expectations for their child before it is even born, after determining the child's sex through technology such as ultrasound. The child thus arrives to a gender-specific name, games, and even ambitions.[28] Once the child's sex is determined, most children are raised in accordance with it to be a man or a woman, fitting a male or female gender role defined partly by the parents.

When considering the parents' social class, lower-class families typically hold traditional gender roles, where the father works and the mother, who may only work out of financial necessity, still takes care of the household. However, middle-class "professional" couples typically negotiate the division of labor and hold an egalitarian ideology. These different views on gender from a child's parents can shape the child's understanding of gender as well as the child's development of gender.[59]

Within a study conducted by Hillary Halpern[60] it was hypothesized, and proven, that parent behaviors, rather than parent beliefs, regarding gender are better predictors for a child’s attitude on gender. It was concluded that a mother’s behavior was especially influential on a child’s assumptions of the child’s own gender. For example, mothers who practiced more traditional behaviors around their children resulted in the son displaying fewer stereotypes of male roles while the daughter displayed more stereotypes of female roles. No correlation was found between a father’s behavior and his children’s knowledge of stereotypes of their own gender. It was concluded, however, that fathers who held the belief of equality between the sexes had children, especially sons, who displayed fewer preconceptions of their opposite gender.

Instead of editing the grammar of the article I mostly just changed the award phrasing of the sentences. There were some sentences with with words placed in weird positions, that caused the flow to be ruined. For example I deleted words that was unnecessary, and stop run on sentences, by creating a new one. I think my edit was important because it made the article easier to annotate, and leaves the readers not feeling confused at the amount of information given in one sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carmenlee98 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
