"A trans editor for Wikipedia rang the alarm immediately as the White House
began to unleash a flood of bias-driven disinformation late last month. “Our
honest coverage of transgender history, health care, and rights is more
important than ever,” the editor posted on a talk page for fellow editors
focusing on LGBTQ+ studies.
One of the most prominent places on the web for accurate information – on all
topics – is the volunteer-run, nonprofit-hosted, collaboratively written
encyclopedia that is available to all: Wikipedia. It draws on the expertise of
trans and nonbinary editors in distilling unbiased and accurate entries.
And accurate information is of paramount importance at this moment. President
Trump has wasted no time in trying to erase the rights and dignity of trans and
nonbinary people, while his administration and its allies have tried to censor
and rewrite history, purging entire government websites in the process.
Wikipedia has been a bulwark against the tide of disinformation, publishing
numerous factual explanations of Trump’s executive orders."
