Hello, Lgeorge1203, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Intersex is when a baby is born into the world, it has with different parts of their body that doesn’t match the common gender norms which is male or female. this happens to only about 0.05% to 1.7% of people in the world. Intersex comes from having irregular chromosomes and hormones. When people think of intersex they usually associate it with things like Turner Syndrome and gonadal dysgenesis among others. Usually women chromosomes is XX and male chromosomes XY means that it’s a boy. People who are born intersex have an extra chromosome, so they are XXY. With people who are born intersex they usually don’t discover their traits till they’re in teenage years. about 2000 babies are born intersex every year. When babies are born intersex, doctors are concerned about how the kids would grow up psychologically. They try to put a lot of pressure on the parents to give the babies surgery to normalize them and they make it seem like being intersex is a problem. They give them false lies. Even if you give the baby surgery their traits from being intersex can still appear once they get older and that can mess with them psychically, emotionally, and in other ways. People want to wait for the kids to grow up to give permission if they want to get the surgery or not. Which should be there option because if you do the surgery and you leave them with some genitalia that they don’t want to have versus what they wanted.

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Everything is relevant to the article topic. The first sentence has a bit of weird wording/phrasing, so maybe look over that again. I think overall, separating into topical sections may help you break down parts of articles/books/whatever you find (ex: scientific research, social acceptance and backlash, etc.)

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? • Most of this is neutral so far. The line "They give them false lies." in the middle definitely is not (although I do agree with you!), so make sure to tweak that/remove that if you do not think there is a way to write it in a neutral way. Maybe separating the doctors' viewpoints and the parents' viewpoints in a separate section would make this part seem more neutral as well. The last line "Which should be there option because if you do the surgery and you leave them with some genitalia that they don’t want to have versus what they wanted." is pretty biased and should be tweaked a bit.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? • You have a good bit on scientific research and social acceptance/rejection. Maybe finding something about people working on this kind of activism would be nice. A bit more of those previous two topics would also be great as well.

Check the citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? • The citation works and does support the claims in the article. I would just clean it up and make it fit a style (like APA).

Is each fact supported by an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted? • It is appropriate from a journal ran by a well-known and trusted university. I do not think it is very biased aside from being an American university and focusing mostly on western knowledge.

Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that should be added? • Very recent! Just keep working on finding a few more sources :) I like this topic! Jowilson510 (talk) 23:23, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
