The part of some identifying as transexual is depreciated and redundant. Transsexual was replaced by transgender to remove sexual annotation that Gender Identity relates to sexual orientation. It has been depreciated as a derogatory term: similar to Asperger's being replaced with ASD in the DSM5 because if the negative history for it as well. StonyPonyAmy (talk) 00:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- A reliable source would be needed for such a change (also, edit requests should include an exact change). Its true that broadly describing trans people, transness, or medical transition as transsexual(s/ism) has largely fallen out of favor, but this sentence is about the minority of trans people (mostly older people, or subscribers to transmedicalism) who identify with the term as an individual identity label. –RoxySaunders 🏳️⚧️ (💬 • 📝) 01:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Change the visual anchor for the transfeminine to not include the transmasculine anchor.
Change the transmasculine definition to include a visual anchor.
This can be seen in the diff-like below:
< ''{{visanc|Transfeminine|Transmasculine}}'' is a term for any person, binary... --- > ''{{visanc|Transfeminine}}'' is a term for any person, binary or non-binary... < ''Transmasculine'' refers to a person, binary or non-binary... --- > ''{{visanc|Transmasculine}}'' refers to a person, binary or non-binary...

Dead link
The "main article" link in #Pride symbols doesn't work. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:37, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like the LGBT symbols page doesn't sort based on identity but based on type of symbols (gender symbols, flags, plants & animals, etc.). I imagine the best fix may be to put LGBT symbols as a see also, without a section tag? Or just call it a main page even though it discusses other pride symbols?

Text about Thomasine Hall
Currently the article states that One of the earliest recorded transgender people in America was Thomas(ine) Hall, a seventeenth century colonial servant
. I cannot verify the source this is cited to as I do not have access to it. However, our article on Thomasine Hall does not describe them as a transgender person. I'd suggest either removing the reference to Hall or rephrasing. Maybe to "one of the earliest recorded gender nonconforming individuals in America"? Or some other sort of phrasing indicating that Hall was intersex? I'm not sure what the best solution is here. Other people's perspectives are welcome. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- I think Thomasine Hall warrants a mention in the article, but did not identify as transgender, so the wording likely needs to be changed. Perhaps begin with description of their abnormal gender expression, then add that some have drawn connections to modern trans identities? Love, Cassie. (Talk to me!) 01:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've changed the text to read "gender nonconforming" for now. [1] Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
International Journal of Transgender Health
Maybe it's just me, but the content about the International Journal of Transgender Health changing its name feels slightly out of place no matter how I rearrange it. I think it's because the terminology section is otherwise focused. Highlighting this specific example feels like it breaks the flow but I don't want to remove it without further feedback. One possible alternative would be listing other journals that have changed with the times so it isn't the only example. Alternatively, a general statement that LGBT+ journals/organizations have changed their names to reflect modern use, if that can be cited to a good source. Thoughts?
