Dear Wikipedia Editors,

I am writing to contest the proposed speedy deletion of the Gender DynamiX (GDX) Wikipedia page. I understand the concerns regarding the promotional tone and potential conflict of interest, and I wish to address these issues directly.

1. Neutrality and Non-Promotional Content: The content of the page has been revised to adhere strictly to a neutral and encyclopedic tone. The information provided is factual, focusing on the history, mission, activities, and impact of Gender DynamiX (GDX) as a public benefit organization. There are no promotional or advertising elements in the text.

2. Notability and Reliable Sources: Gender DynamiX (GDX) is the first registered Africa-based public benefit organization focusing solely on the transgender and broader gender-diverse community. Its contributions to legal reform, inclusive education, and access to gender-affirming healthcare, along with its regional and global impact, establish its notability. The draft will be supplemented with citations from reliable, independent sources to verify all claims and meet Wikipedia's verifiability standards.

3. Importance and Context: The organization plays a crucial role in advancing the rights and visibility of transgender and gender-diverse individuals in Africa. It has a significant track record of advocacy, research, and capacity-building, which is valuable information for the public and researchers interested in gender diversity and human rights issues in the region.

4. Conflict of Interest: While there is an acknowledgment of a potential conflict of interest, steps have been taken to ensure transparency. Edits to the article have been made following Wikipedia's guidelines, and any further substantial changes will be proposed on the article's talk page for community review.

Revised Article Excerpt: Gender DynamiX (GDX), established in 2005, is a registered Africa-based public benefit organization dedicated to the transgender and broader gender diverse community. It began as a grassroots initiative and has evolved into a fundamental non-profit organization (NPO) that supports the development of trans and gender diverse movements in South Africa and across Africa. Over the past 19 years, GDX has built a strong track record in addressing the diverse needs of trans and gender diverse individuals in South Africa and surrounding regions. The organization has contributed extensively to the body of knowledge on trans and gender diverse experiences, needs, and rights, raising visibility locally, regionally, and globally. GDX focuses on legal reform, inclusive education, and access to gender-affirming healthcare through research, advocacy, and training.

I respectfully request that the deletion notice be reconsidered and the page be reviewed based on the revised content. The aim is to provide an informative and neutral resource about an organization that significantly contributes to the transgender and gender diverse community in Africa.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Medusa ~Iro Media and Communications officer www.genderdynamix.org.za) --Gender Dynamix (talk) 11:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
