Hello!

I have been reading RationalWiki for years. Since about 2011 or so, if I had to guess. However, I made this account relatively recently, in June 2020, and as far as I recall I had no account prior to that.

RationalWiki has long helped me to find sources on such things as pseudoscience, religion and politics. Hopefully, my edits can help to provide this for other people!

Religious background

I am atheist and Discordian. I also have experience and knowledge in both Christianity and Judaism, but don't believe in them. I grew up in a religious conservative family.

Essays or articles

George Orwell (April 1946). "Politics and the English Language". I disagree with parts, like the opposition to idioms or even characterizing words with clear definitions as somehow "meaningless". But its considerations on brevity are useful.

To do

Articles to revamp or expand Things I want to expand, anywhere from wanting to expand just a little to a total revamp.

Transgender — Needs e.g. a history section, and a better "religious views" section. Compare with the page for homosexuality which this could be modeled from somewhat.
- Gender transition
- Gender dysphoria
- Transgender glossary
- Transphobia
  - Trans-exclusionary radical feminist — Last time I read it, it felt like it needed a real overhaul.
  - Littman 2018 ROGD study
  - Autogynephilia
    - Ray Blanchard
    - J. Michael Bailey
  - Transmisogyny
- Cisgender
International Jewish conspiracy
Quillette
People (in no particular order)
- Muammar Gaddafi
- Enver Hoxha
- Sheila Jeffreys
- Kathleen Stock
- Janice Raymond
- Andy Ngo
- Michael Knowles
- Rick Scott
- Abigail Shrier
- Laura Ingraham
- Julie Bindel
- Julie Burchill (what's with the similar name to the above, anyway?)
- Piers Morgan
- Katie Hopkins
- Harriet Hall — Would like to reflect facts about her life that aren't related to that one trans issues article she wrote.
- J.K. Rowling — Same as above. Especially I am interested in learning more about her politics and religion, focusing on things other than the usual topics about her, though, maybe I'll uncover some about that too. Stuff from really old (early 2000s) newspaper interviews or something.
- Claire Lehmann
- Mike Pence
- SyrianGirl
- Marco Rubio
- Trish Regan
- Louis Farrakhan
- Common Filth
- Anita Bryant
- Meghan Murphy
- Laura Loomer
- Germaine Greer — Page doesn't examine the work she's actually known for enough, just controversies.

Articles to create

See the main article on this topic: RationalWiki:To do list § New article suggestions

Denazification^{Create draft} (brief discussion link) (Possible sources: 1 2 3 4 5)
COVID-19 lab leak theory^{Create draft} (or hypothesis, not sure which to name it but theory is the more common term used)
Misanthropy^{Create draft}
Animal rights in Nazi Germany^{Create draft}
List of anti-LGBT advocacy groups^{Create draft} or similar (can't figure out the best name for it)
Handwashing^{Create draft}
Something like: "British media and transgender people^{Create draft}". Maybe broader, like "LGBT people in the United Kingdom", because perhaps there was something up with how they treated gay people back in the day too, who knows. A lot of current trends in anti-trans conservatism can be traced back to the British news and even entertainment media, and it's a very odd situation, because British people are actually not as transphobic as Americans if we look at polling data. In this vein, as well, I'd like to revamp/expand articles under the "British media" category.
