To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

WP:MEDRS and WP:Synthesis

See WP:MEDRS and WP:Synthesis. ContraPoints is not an appropriate source for countering autogynephilia. Also see WP:Reliable sources. A ContraPoints YouTube video is not a reliable source for anything on Wikipedia except for information specifically about ContraPoints; this is per WP:About self. And the 2007 Julia Serano source cannot be used to state "most modern scientists studying gender identity reject this notion." A part of the quote included in that reference even states "it has garnered some acceptance in the psychiatric literature." That acceptance has grown since 2007. The American Psychiatric Association is a medical authority. Serano is not. And while the term "transsexual" is offensive to many transgender people today, it's still used in the medical literature and this is to make it clear that the transgender people who have undergone sex reassignment therapy are the ones being discussed.
