October 6, 2025: I guess the right time for the case would have been last year after all. Alas, we don't have a time machine. Here's to hoping that PD 11 does not pass in its current form or it will open the doors to repeat the UK's actions by raising philosophical beliefs above human rights of existence, something that was not the intention of that act either. But it is what pushed the rock down the hill 15 years ago and led to the culmination of the events that caused the disruption that this very case was meant to address. For those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
June 14, 2025: After taking a break for six months and watching the area from the sideline, I am sad to see that not much has changed, if anything, some parts just seem to have gotten worse.

As I saw the voices growing beyond just mine, that this area is rife for ArbCom to take up, I decided to just step out of my wiki-break myself to file the case, given that I have not been actively involved in all of it over the past 6 months, but having observed things and seeing the calls for ArbCom in the current ongoing WP:AE cases, it looks like the time is now. Case request: ARC: Transgender health care misinformation on Wikipedia

Case request accepted and case opened on 7/28/25: WP:ARBTRANS

December 11, 2024: Taking a break from Wikipedia. Waiting for an ArbCom case to curtail open anti-trans editing on Wikipedia as hate is disruptive and the chilling effect it leaves on editors defending basic human rights against misinformation is part of the reason why Wikipedia is suffering from a systemic bias and is continuing to drive female and other underrepresented editors away in this hostile environment.

		The Surreal Barnstar
		Hello. I saw that you recently edited your user page to say that you are permanently retired. Thank you for your extensive work on LGBTQ+ topics and articles of notable women. I believe your contributions added a "special flavor" to the community as the award describes. I therefore give you the surreal barnstar as a parting gift. P.S. The Intersex Healthcare page that you helped do some touch up edits on has finally passed GA review. Thank you for your contribution. Urchincrawler (talk) 17:00, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

		The Anti-Systemic Bias Barnstar

	The Original Barnstar
	I saw the arbcom case a bit ago, but never had a chance to say goodbye. Like DanielRigal said a bit ago, you leave wikipedia better than when you came, and it is a travesty you were forced out. I hope you enjoy retirement, and that there is some way for you to come back. User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 18:27, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
