The LGBTA Wiki is Backsliding

This is going to be a fun one. I know I’ve been gone for a few months and this is definitely a hell of a come back, but there’s a reason for it. 

I was really hoping that with the changing mod team and maybe the platform move, things would get better. And for a while, they did. There were still some pages that had some incorrect definitions listed and multiple pages with deleted, un-archived resources, but that was just residual from old problems. Then it seemed like something changed.

In the past month or so, there’s been an uptick in redefinitions and ones that are not getting fixed. This issue has gotten so bad that two Wiki users who, as far as I can tell, have not coined a single term both have list pages on Genderpedia for terms they’ve redefined. 

These users (Xinaphoria and Xeno Bemo) have collectively redefined over twenty terms. The redefintions range from relatively minor, though still notable things - like changing the “happy aspects of dreamcore” in the Kidreamcoric definition to read “joyful aspects of dreamcore” - to far more egregious issues, like what was done to Creepcakic and every term that Xeno Bemo has touched. These changes are actively going unchanged by both mods and other users.

This whole thing can, in part, be put down to a lack of moderation. Regardless of how much change it seems that the new mods are trying to make, I doubt that there are enough to mod a Wiki of this size. Many users of this Wiki have made it clear that they have to be watched at all times to keep the Wiki reliable and the team of five running this Wiki is not a big enough number to do that.

I really think this Wiki needs stronger moderation. It’s clear that they are, to an extent, capable of positive change, seeing as they kept it up for months, but that small of a mod team can’t moderate a Wiki that’s as big as they are and that gets as much traffic as they do.

I’m not really sure what the major point of this post is, other than that I would advise anyone who’s started being more trusting of the LGBTA Wiki should start checking sources and be wary of everything said there.

Thank you for reading. Let’s hope things look back up.

We did it!

So, after months of hard work in archiving and coding, we finally have the site finished enough to publicize it! 

It’s still super incomplete (our page count pales in comparison to some other Wikis and there are a lot of broken links), but we do have the only article on a Wiki about TGCE, the biggest catalogue of Colorgenders + Drogegenders + Synesthesia related genders, a page rating system (there’s a little ‘rate’ button at the bottom of the page, the biggest catalogue of terms from TGCE, Page-2-IDs, MOGAI-Monarchs, and Neopronouns, and the biggest catalogue of terms from the Dianetics System, the Warrior Cats Gender System, and the Genderstajon System!

Hopefully we’ll find a good way to balance intense work on the site and running this archive, but there’ll probably still be times where one is slacking a little..

Thanks for reading and enjoy!

It’s a sad thing to see people in Youtube being “aw, remember mogai? remember all those labels that nobody used? remember how some were repetitive, meant the exact same thing and rarely helped anyone because it was about putting a name to their confusion without clearing it”, even in videos that are supposed to be sympathetic and understanding, and all they all seem to completely miss the most important point that actually makes Mogai so especial. For the first time ever, non cis/non straight people had the liberty to use names and labels that they themselves created. Not a descriptor that originally meant something else, not an insult that was thrown at us, not a variant of something that was once considered a mental illness and we had to reshape, recontextualize, from words that other people made. Mogai was/is something that was entirely, purely, uniquely ours from the start and remained to be ours no matter what. Nobody but demigender people chose that name. Nobody but genderfluid people called themselves that. It was redundant? Sometimes, maybe. It was too much for anyone to remember all? Yeah. But there were options and those options came from other non cis/non straight people looking to say “I had this experience, this was real, this meant something that was good for me and I want to share it with you” to the whole word, at a time where people were being actively kicked out of the community that was supposed to recieve them just because they didn’t fit the bill completely, actively fighting to be recognized at all even if it was fucking obvious they didn’t belonged with the cishets either. Mogai is what you get when you tell a bunch of people that don’t fit in that they can’t enter your little respectable club of Good Gays, and they say “if you are not going to give me a community, I am going to build it myself.” How fucking revolutionary is that? What a fucking amazing idea it was.  So to see people reduce that to “those were just a bunch of silly names that didn’t survived” feels so incredibly insulting and demeaning to what was born of a tinge of desperate to have somewhere, anywhere, where you didn’t had to get into discourse if you belonged or not, if your experiences were valid or not, if you had a right to be there or not. Many of those labels maybe didn’t last a long period of time but they had a purpose, and worked well while they did. If you talk about Mogai and don’t see how important that was, what it meant for the people who were using it, then you didn’t understand it and didn’t listened to the people who were there.

Secondaric

This can be used as a specific identity in situations where one knows that their gender is like this, but is unsure of the parts. Primarily a suffix
