[edit] 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?

- 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)

- @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. Check him out on wikipedia GCmatters (talk) 11:59, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently been editing gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

- 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[1] 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)
