[edit] History undeletion

Since the article has been recreated, and the DRV result was to overturn, I've undeleted the history. However, the original version of the article was an essay, and it should not be restored outright. --Coredesat 00:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

With all due respect, whatever. We're in process of rewriting and referencing it all anyway so any essay concerns were being dealt with when the AfD was prematurely (and apparently wrongfully) closed. Benjiboi 00:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I was just making sure. --Coredesat 02:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. It was quite frustrating to have the rug pulled out from under our efforts and stalled when it was fairly obvious the article was going to be here. Benjiboi 03:17, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

I suggest article be renamed Retirement Issues for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex People - it may seem a bit clunky but we're doing an encyclopedia here and articles sometimes have clunky but inclusive titles. Any thoughts, objections? Benjiboi 00:37, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there's significant coverage of intersex-related issues to warrant that title. LGBT is the standard moniker on wikipedia... LGBT retirement? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fireplace (talk • contribs) 01:01, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Disagree. This is a rising concern with intersex people that they are not transgender even if they are commonly referred to as such and many of the issues overlap. Progressive organizations now list both transgender and intersex as the issue speaks to both medical rights and legal recognition. It costs us little to do so and frankly we'll be addressing their concerns anyway. Right to self-expression, self-identity, etc. Benjiboi 02:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

what about LGBTI or LGBTQI - i think we are evolving in that direction. Scarykitty 23:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

The name would cover LGBTI, Q for either questioning or queer would be considered covered under the LGBTI issues; also queer is still not appreciated by those who are actually retirement age so is in much less use in conjunction with older generations. Benjiboi 00:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I would however completely support explaining the "Q" in the lede; do you think it should be in the title? Benjiboi 19:40, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
