Xenogender flag?

So Xenogender redirects to Non-binary_gender#Xenogender. What do others think of adding Xenogender flag (

) to Non-binary gender#Symbols and observances? EarthFurst (talk) 20:23, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would need reliable secondary sources indicating that the community meaningfully uses this flag. Crossroads ^-talk- 22:14, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jens Andersson

Article mentions Jens Andersson as a historical example for non-binary gender. Please see the two sections of sources below, Andersson was in a same sex relationship during a time when this was an illegal act, and was imprisoned for such. Prescribing a gender identity post mortem is not scholarly work, and this is also mentioned in the first highlighted source.

Recommending that this example be removed.

Creating a "Media representation" section?

Instead of jumping ahead and creating this section, I thought I'd post here first. Other identities have robust sections of this type, like Lesbian#Media representation, Bisexuality#Media, Asexuality#In media, and Intersex#In society. I was thinking of moving SOME content from Non-binary characters in fiction to such a section. I can come up with a mock version of this possible section if you think that would help. Otherwise, I am trying to pair down Non-binary characters in fiction a bit (focusing mainly on examples either with media coverage or scholarly analysis), so if you would like to help with that, it would be appreciated. Historyday01 (talk) 15:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best to base such a section on scholarly analysis if so. Some of that material, like at Bisexuality, just lists off certain media and cites contemporary entertainment news, which isn't as good. Crossroads ^-talk- 17:53, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can agree with that, that makes perfect sense. Historyday01 (talk) 19:07, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical error in lead section

this is going to sound really stupid but at the very start of the article where it talks about gender and sexuality being separate, there's a colon and there should be a semicolon instead but i don't have a wikipedia account and it's 2am

64.193.85.10 (talk) 07:03, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did the edit, and a few more wording fixes. Thank you for pointing out this error.

By the way, you can consider creating an account. See WP:ACCOUNT for the benefits of an account and criteria for creating an account. If you are having more trouble deciding whether to create one, you should also see Wikipedia:Why not create an account?
