message: The introduction paragraph has the sentence "The [third gender] concept is most likely to be embraced in the modern LGBT or queer subcultures," which is situated between sentences about broader western culture and scholarship. There is no citation for this sentence and I haven't found any sources confirming this personally. Is this connection primarily to nonbinary/genderqueer identity instead of third gender?  If so, the wording of the sentence as-is could be more specific, or it may be better to delete this entirely. -Delendaaest (talk) 19:39, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The relevant section, Third gender#Transgender people and third gender, refers to , so this is presumably was meant. Newimpartial (talk) 19:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

text: If the sentence is referring to Third gender#Transgender people and third gender is it okay to specify the connection to non-binary and genderqueer identities in this sentence? Delendaaest (talk) 20:05, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  If it's sourced in the body, you can summarize it in the lead, if it's one of the most important points that belongs there. Not everything needs to be in the lead, so it's a bit of a judgment call. Mathglot (talk) 20:35, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Okay to remove sentence with no citation? 

message: Nice job on this new section. The Towle & Morgan (2002) GLQ article you found is a good one; I found this quote that might be representative of part of it: "The term third gender does not disrupt gender binarism; it simply adds another category (albeit a segregated, ghettoized category) to the existing two.". (There's a  parameter in the  template that you could use to store the quote, if excerpting the quote in the new section doesn't seem to work.) For other users editing in this space, that source would be a good one for other, related articles; it is available in full text via TWL. Haven't had a chance to look at the your other source, yet, but good job so far. By the way: if you find other good sources, but don't need them to source specific content you add, feel free to add a citation for it to the  section, where interested editors might pick it up and use it.

thread_title:  Criticism section 

message: This is a slightly strange section in terms of organisation. There are instances of modern countries with legal recognition that have been included under this section. E.g. England - but using terms which are no longer used by people nowadays. Surely these and similar examples should be moved down under the History section. Following on from this, it seems a bit strange to divide up countries with and without legal recognition (the contents of each are actually quite different - with the former mostly describing legal precedents, while the latter describes actual identities found in these places)...Just seems a bit inconsistent to me. Or should the description of different identities from countries where it is legal be included into History? Thanks PitterPatter533 (talk) 17:07, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
