Item! Joseph Nicolosi, founder of the National Association for Research and Treatment of Homosexuality recently announced to the press that I am a "lesbian activist", despite the fact that I have never revealed my gender or sexual orientation on Wikipedia or to Mr. Nicolosi. Rather than discuss my edit, Joe chose to issue a letter to Jimbo Wales, demanding that I stop "vandalizing" the NARTH "site", or doing what I prefer to call "removing unattributed commentary." Joe also recommended I be "banned from editing the article". He didn't raise a word on the article's or my Talk page about what is essentially a content dispute. He immediately made demands to Jimbo. "She's a witch! Burn her!" Good job, Joe.

My response to Nicolosi is here.

Hi, there! I enjoy editing Wikipedia. Probably too much.

[edit] Articles I have created

Ormeloxifene -- Also known as Centchroman, it is an oral contraceptive pill for women which only needs to be taken once per week. It is only available in India, and most of the material written on it is in Hindi. I am particularly proud of this one, because if you Google for "Centchroman", this article is currently the #2 result, and this article is the top hit for "Ormeloxifene"!

Religious views on birth control -- created by moving the material from the main Birth Control article to a more appropriate location.

This one is sad, and it may be disturbing. You have fair warning. Sudden antenatal death syndrome -- the term for the unexplained death of a fetus.

[edit] Articles and templates to which I have contributed significantly

Many of these are related to sex or the human body.

Combined oral contraceptive pill -- the content at this page was originally located at Oral contraceptive. I suggested that the content be moved to Combined oral contraceptive pill, in order to allow for a disambiguation page at Oral contraceptive. This allowed for disambiguation of the COCP, the progesterone-only pill, and ormeloxifene.

Birth control -- adding Ormeloxifene, and clarifying the content about the various behavioral methods of birth control.

Vaginismus - a condition marked by a strong contraction of the vaginal muscles with any attempt at penetration.

Ex-ex-gay, creating as a separate article from ex-gay, as they represent two entirely different groups of people.

Template:Abuse -- I did a moderate overhaul of this template and changed its color scheme.

[edit] Addressing racism and sexism

I seek to improve language that is heteronormative, homophobic, racist, or sexist against men or against women. Examples of such edits include:

The List of professional bodybuilders originally redirected to a list of male bodybuilders. I renamed that list "List of male professional bodybuilders", and made List of professional bodybuilders a disambiguation page between the list of women and the list of men.

I have made numerous edits that changed the noun form of the word "homosexual" to "gay man" or "LGBT person(s)". Examples: "Hathaway is a homosexual." would become "Hathaway is a gay man."

[edit] Funny edits I have made

Here are edits I made which I find amusing:

Mastopexy was formerly located at Breast lift, and referenced that the operation was an "improvement" to a woman's breasts. Besides renaming it, I "improved" this article by changing it to say that the operation "changes the shape" of the breast. I also moved it out of the "Diseases" category and into the "Breast" category -- aging is not a disease!

[edit] Turn of phrase

Unless someone said it before me, the phrase "POV ochlocracy", as in "POV ochlocracy ≠ consensus" was first used by me in the following edit history. W00t.

Please feel free to drop me a line on my Talk page! Have a nice Wikipedia!
