User talk:Lgay124/Transgender asylum seekers

Peer Review By: Jeffrey Camille
This article is well-written, needing only moderate revisions to ensure it effectively summarizes the topic of transgender asylum seekers while abiding by Wikipedia’s regulations and class instructions. The article’s major strength lies in the pooled references, all of which come from reliable sources. These provide a trove of information that is successfully used throughout the text to offer well-rounded summaries of various issues and events. However, the sheer volume of information shared can sometimes take away from an otherwise concise text. Therefore, I recommend reviewing the “Country of origin” section to identify spaces where information can be better summarized, relocated, or cut. The remaining two sections could benefit from more information. The inclusion of images will also prove positive when rendering your final draft. Be conscious that when images are used, they should be additive to your summary, not there simply for display. I also wish to highlight that, at times, refugees and asylum seekers are used as analogues when, in fact, they are not. Making sure the difference is explained and that the correct word is utilized at the right moment is important. Overall, I asses this article’s completeness level as being well-developed.

Due to the fact that transgender asylum seekers are already at the intersection of two grossly underrepresented groups, I would assume there to be a lack of literature on the matter compared to other Wiki Pages. Given this assumption, I want to say that this article is overall pretty developed. The original lead section of the article looks good, so I understand why there may not be any additional revisions to it. My suggestions for revision would be to explain what it means to be a transgender person (not anecdotally but definitionally) and use more sources. For example, under “Countries of origin”, I would explain (with sources) the existence of such gender norms and how they manifest outside of transgender dynamics to then demonstrate how they manifest in the lives of transgender folk. Further, I would be wary of sharing anti-Western thoughts or connotations (though I’d agree lol). “Often requires refugees to retell their experience through a lens of trauma and through Westernized vocabulary” is valid in my opinion, though I’m not sure if you might need some more sources to say that and avoid sounding anecdotal.
