Jessica Yaniv
With the recent comments by Really-Edgy Gervais bringing her back into the public light, should we have a bit mentioning Jessica Yaniv, and how conservative/alt-right/TERF-y publications are using her as nutpicking against Trans acceptance? This discussion in Canadaland and This Medium article provide some info about her. ℕoir LeSable (talk) 16:31, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

As an inborn characteristic
If anyone has ideas for this section or sources they can submit here, I can perhaps try to incorporate them. Originally the page just had the "brain science" section, which I feel is (if given alone) a weaker premise for biological origin than it looks. So I want to give more weight to other research relevant to this. I have on my mind twin studies, the PCOS-FTM link, genetics, the autism-transgender link (I will approach this cautiously — no worries), the non-heterosexual/transgender link, and the intersex-transgender link. I wonder if there's anything I'm forgetting. Chillpilled (talk) 22:04, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Also, if anyone has any idea where this study went, I'd love to know. Sadly, I have a hunch that it simply never received funding. Chillpilled (talk) 23:10, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Where is Bright Guardian Akira?
I think she is a notable transgender person. So in a nutshell, she is a Warrior Cats YouTuber and such and such.The Krusty Krab (talk) 17:09, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * At current the YouTubers included have no less than a million subscribers, unless they're also notable for some other reason, only example of which I immediately spotted was Emma Ellingsen who has 427k and along with that is notable for being a model appearing in magazine covers, newspapers, etc.
 * I debated adding Kalvin Garrah for another example but decided against despite his notoriety of sorts, his subscribers aren't even as high as Ellingsen and he basically disappeared a couple years ago.
 * In short, if we included every trans person as notable as Bright Guardian Akira (who to be honest I had never heard of before this section was opened), the list would become insufferably long. Chillpilled (talk) 23:34, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * “A Warrior Cats YouTuber.” You have to be fucking kidding me. 00:23, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This section only further cements my view that YouTube is a harmful social contagion. 00:24, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * There are 300,000 channels with 100k+ subscribers. Do all of them deserve a mention on RW?
 * Also, googled BGA, I got what appears to be a furry channel. Unless Akira becomes famous for something else beyond a bunch of subscribers, they aren't really notable.  00:33, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * P.S. Akira goes by she/her pronouns. P.P.S. Warrior Cats is not furry stuff. The Krusty Krab (talk) 18:27, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Why do we have this listicle anyway? I don't see how the whole section is useful to be honest. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 00:36, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * To me, it's useful to illustrate the diversity of the trans community (particularly career-wise, as there are some stereotypes here) and introduce readers to interesting trans individuals they may not have otherwise heard of. Especially those who have made scientific contributions or are notable for some historical reason. I have had plans to create a history section, albeit more community-wide focused than individual-focused, and for the moment this is kind of a stopgap for that purpose too, listing some trans people from thirty or more years ago (and especially 70+ years ago as such figures fade into obscurity it can be helpful to re-highlight them).
 * And also, I inserted some trans authors who wrote important books on various aspects of transgender topics (Sandy Stone, Shon Faye, Julia Serano, Susan Stryker); these authors are often still alive today and giving their views on trans topics. Many of the musicians (and other entertainers) are very well-known within their genre, but a reader unacquainted with said genre would likely not have heard about them.

 * Ok, I'm sold. I'll add to the list later. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 13:46, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
