| − | "Hermaphrodite" is not a medical term. It is also considered highly offensive. The correct term is "intersex." Intersex encompasses a variety of conditions. This page also seems to not understand the difference between sex, gender, and gender identity. These are really important distinctions.

| − | Cis and trans are not orientations in and of themselves. They relate to how an individual relates to their assigned gender at birth.

| − | Many younger trans people consider FTM or MTF to represent a narrative that does not necessarily relate to the reality of their lives. They were born what they are now. It's just that their birth assignment didn't match.

It should be linking them out to reliable sources. -- Wulfrath

| − | The page currently has a note on it that I, with my genderfucked lenses on, can not figure out. I personally cannot find how this is sounding like gender variant people are space aliens.

| − | Within the world of BDSM, gender rights and orientations are a large and often debated discussion. Best Practices are to indicate an inclusive view concerning gender orientation as a part of identity and recognize that many identify their gender in various fashions as is their right {{this makes it sound like gender variant people are space aliens. you are assuming cis readers}}
