The goal is to help spread awareness and to educate. How better to do that than to have a site and a book put together by the type of individuals it talks about. Yes, the wiki will have links to experts in the fields, but who better to really explain what it’s like to be genderqueer or intersexed than someone who identifies as that?
The GENDERpedia can be edited by anyone, and they’re always looking for people to contribute. Be considerate, be professional, and be an adult, but please contribute! Or send them an email for a questionnaire to put in the book. The creators of the Gender Book are all fantastic and really easy to approach. This is very much their baby, and it shows by the effort they’re putting into it.
So go check out the site. Find a way to contribute. Help spread the word and help educate those who need educating, both in the LGBTQ community and those outside of it. And when the book becomes available later this year, buy a copy and share it with people! Take it to your school’s GSA. Give a copy to your therapist, your cousin, your dad, your kid, your neighbor, your boss.
