Maybe, but about 40% of people who lean Democrat believe that "woman" refers only to biological sex. [1] This is not a MAGA thing. (I myself lean strongly Democratic.)
Among all Americans, 60% (and growing) believe that a transwoman is not a woman.
So, my core point stands: the transwoman Wikipedia article parrots an ideological minority.
This ideological group happens to be extremely online and fervent, as my downvote status reflects. But they are nevertheless a shrinking minority, per Pew Research, and their views have no place being espoused in a Wikipedia article. It's a shameful contravention of Wikipedia neutrality. [2]
If toxicity makes certain "volunteers" stop squatting on Wikipedia pages, then weaponized toxicity against them might actually be the prosocial choice, as Wikipedia is an important public resource. Drive them out. That's my takeaway from the parent article.
