Possible Additions of Conversion Therapy for Genderqueer Children[edit]

Hey all. I was scrolling through this page, and noticed that there isn't anything really referring to how 'gender identity disorder' was previously listed in the DSM and had several 'treatments' tantamount to conversion therapy. A good example of these practices is Kenneth Zucker and his practice at Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health: Gender Identity Service before it was shut down. There is a wikipedia page about Kenneth Zucker which we could include, and there have been several books written about him and his practices, such as "Trans Kids: Being Gendered in the Twenty-First Century" written by Tey Meadow. Just felt that this is important information regarding how gender non-conformity was viewed in the medical field and how that has changed (though very little).

No bi men mentioned?[edit]

Why are bisexual women mentioned in this article but not bisexual men? 2601:240:C401:AD60:0:0:0:EDBA (talk) 03:23, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the third paragraph of the section, § Association with sexual orientation, I recommend reading the linked citations. I have not read them, but it is likely that they only address women in their research. We cannot discuss in the encyclopedia what has not already been discussed in external study (see WP:OR for further discussion of this idea).

If the cited papers do address bisexual and gay men, then please do help us amend the paragraph in question. — HTGS (talk) 05:35, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Updated and added a section about bisexual men. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pppp42 (talk • contribs) 03:36, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Claims not cited[edit]

In the second paragraph of the Social status for Men vs Women section, a claim has not been cited. I have not been able to find a source to back up the claim made. I think this should be addressed to clean up the article.

Wiki Education assignment: Psychology of Gender[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 8 January 2024 and 24 April 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Walvarez2 (article contribs).

@Walvarez2: I just did a cleanup to your recent addition; I felt the use of the word 'deviant' didn't fit the overall tone of the article and I tried to clean it up a little (for example, to phrases like 'non-conforming' individual').

I don't have access to some of the linked references, so I would look to others to also comment on the specific content.
