Dear #trans people, #LGBT #Queer #LGBTQIA and allies from the Fediverse, if you have a #Wikipedia account with at least 50 edits before January 29, you may help the French Wikipedia to become a better place to read quality articles involving trans people.
Under the pressure of trans and allied contributors, the French Wikipedia moderators have opened a survey on "how to handle #deadname mentions in our articles".
The survey proposes 6 questions and multiple possibilities, including harmful and insensitive ones.
At the moment, the answer ratio is not in favour of trans people. Most of the time, people insist on mentioning the deadnames like it's a data like any other, including when unnecessary.
This must change, and here's why I'm making a call to you.
French trans people with no account matching the rules will need yours to give their voice. Please manifest yourself here and propose them to reply to the survey for them.
Action and reskeets may save young trans people from shitty behaviours from careless cis people.
Thank you by advance 🙏🏼
Pour les européens : pensez au décalage horaire avec les États-Unis, n'oubliez pas d'attendre quelques heures avant de repoueter 😉
