About Us
This wiki contains everything a budding mad (gender) scientist needs to further their work! Specifically, the driving goals behind this wiki are to:
- Educate ourselves about the biology underlying transition and developmental sex differentiation.
- Postulate and collect a compendium of hypothetical treatments that warrant further research.
- Reduce harm by bringing together official standards of care for gender identities and intersex conditions.
- Enable access to needed information freely to those who require help navigating the systems.
- Provide a forum for people whom these conditions affect the most to become more educated and involved in the processes of their treatments, advancing healthcare ourselves!

Masculinizing Chest Reconstruction in Transgender and Nonbinary Individuals: An Analysis of Epidemiology, Surgical Technique, and Postoperative Outcomes.
A look at the safety of both mastectomy and breast reduction in both binary and non-binary transmasculine patients. They conclude that both mastectomy and reduction, with or without nipple graft are all safe within the transmasculine population, and that these results may be useful as a way to discuss between patients and providers which option may lead to the ideal outcome.
The Papers page is a thorough compendium of up-to-date trans-specific research with a high quality of evidence, as well as guides on ways to access them, or find more research.
It is at the heart of all our goals stated in the "About Us" tab below, and one of the more polished articles on the wiki having been curated by our research librarian LilianaUmbra.
Featured Articles
The Books by trans authors page is a collection of works of both fiction and non-fiction authored by gender diverse individuals outside of the cis binary, it can be reorganized by clicking on the top panels.
Useful library tools
The following tools may be helpful for developing lists of your favourite books, or finding copies to purchase online or borrow from your local libraries. Feel free to send suggestions to Umbra
- Worldcat is the largest online library catalogue in the world, useful for both finding available copies of books on this list at local libraries worldwide, and collecting cataloguing data (such as authorship, edition, available versions in other languages ISBN, ISSN, etc). Simply search by ISBN or title to find a detailed listing including branches in your area.
- Goodreads is a very useful tool for organizing reading lists (called shelves), gathering reviews, finding books organized by genre, and connect with book selling and library sites such as Amazon and Worldcat.
- Library Extension (Chrome) an extension that connects to the major online book vendors as well as Goodreads and provides you with how many copies are available within your local library branches.
