Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, ─ The Aafī   (talk)  15:29, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "GCmatters", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears, based on your user page, to imply the account is used by multiple people (GC Matters is a group ...). If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Radical feminism. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 02:00, 25 January 2023 (UTC)


 * could you explain where I added my own point of view to this article? GCmatters (talk) 15:20, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You added text such as (i.e. men) to mentions of Trans woman, which goes against the neutral statement that transgender women are women. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 15:31, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * how is it a neutral statement that transgender women are women? This is not true or verifiable, they are Men GCmatters (talk) 15:42, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * where is your evidence dudhr?  we are supposed to be dealing in facts here, not opinions GCmatters (talk) 15:43, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * are you sure you are a neutral editor? GCmatters (talk) 16:03, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * where is the Verifiability and Original Research required by Wikipedia? GCmatters (talk) 16:54, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia does not require, or allow, original research. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 16:55, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Most reliable sources in gender-related topics agree that transgender women are women. As Wikipedia follows what is said by reliable sources, we also state that they are women. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 16:19, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * what reliable sources are you referring to? Where is the original research?  Scientists, biologist and radical feminists do not believe this or that anyone can change sex GCmatters (talk) 17:00, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, original research is not allowed on Wikipedia. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 17:03, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * what reliable sources are you referring to? GCmatters (talk) 17:07, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @GCmatters, you need to cite a published reliable research to support any fact. What any movement believes or what our individual belief is, cannot be established as a legitimate source. If the fact that "Scientists, biologist and radical feminists do not believe this or that anyone can change sex" has got a reliable and verifiable citation, I feel this should be fine for inclusion as a WP:RSOPINION ─ The Aafī   (talk)  17:11, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Have you heard of Baron Dr. Robert Winston, doctor and scientist who has declared publicly on tv and other forums that you cannot change sex, your sex is evident in every chromosome and DNA, when you die your ashes will show that you are either male or female.

Introduction to contentious topics

 * where is the Original Research required here? Radical feminists do not believe that trans women are  men, and self-id is not law in the UK GCmatters (talk) 16:58, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * where is the Original Research required here? Can you clarify your question? As I said previously, original research is not allowed on Wikipedia. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 16:59, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * what Original Research proves that men can become women? where are the citations for this in this article.  This is a statement of belief, not fact  GCmatters (talk) 17:04, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The reliable sources cited at Trans woman (e.g. the source cited for the statement Transgender women, sometimes called male-to-female (MtF), are those who were assigned the male sex at birth (AMAB), but who identify and live as women., which states in table 1: Transgender woman (also: trans woman, male-to female, transgender female): This refers to individuals assigned male at birth but who identify and live as women.) support the statement in wikivoice that transgender women are women. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 18:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
