WP:BLP of a transgender person, which starts out making a potentially keepable basic claim of notability (first publicized transgender woman in her country, and founder of an LGBT resource group), but then spends the entire rest of the article WP:COATRACKing an essay, comprising her personal thoughts about gender reassignment surgery and the personal opinions of other people and groups about it, rather than actually being an encyclopedia article about her or her work with the resource group (i.e. the thing that might actually earn her an article on here.) So I'm willing to withdraw this if it can be rewritten to put the WP:WEIGHT where it belongs -- but it's not suitable for inclusion in this form. Delete.

Keep I've cleaned up the article so that it's neutral and imparts information, instead of reading like an essay. Pinging @Bearcat: so they can take a look. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:12, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, much better. Seriously, you're like the Queen of the Wiki Salvage Crew. Thanks, consider this withdrawn. Bearcat (talk) 16:16, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
