Mali should be colored orange

Mali passed a new penal code a few months ago, and it took effect in December of 2024. This criminalized homosexuality. If you want more info, I have updated Mali’s LGBT page with that. Also, there are a few tables I think that need to be updated aswell. Thefinals626472 (talk) 08:58, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thefinals626472, as far as I can see, this has been done. Or did I miss something? Lova Falk (talk) 13:34, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's all good now but when I wrote that message it hadn't been done then. Thefinals626472 (talk) 18:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Israel should be changed from red to purple in the map "Laws concerning gender identity-expression by country or territory"

The real status in Israel now is "Legal identity change, surgery not required", and the map should show that. See here:

Reduced trans rights in the UK

In a recent court ruling (April, I think), the UK's High Court decided that the main provisions of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 no longer apply, with the result that trans women are now legally men, trans men are legally women, and non-binary people have no legal existence whatsoever, meaning they could eventually have zero rights in everyday life. Please could someone update the article to reflect this fact? 80.193.98.150 (talk) 14:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, because that's not what was decided. You seriously need to back up your claim with reliable sources. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
