I know bisexuality articles still exist on Wikipedia still, but I am just wondering why this was removed, perhaps it was changed or moved elsewhere? Skeptical hat is on.

Reminder to self: take everything Wikipedia says with a pinch of salt. The site loves to push the transtastic neoliberal agenda.

They also push actively dangerous misinformation against people with intersex conditions; anti-science bullshit that then gets parroted by other websites and is a big part of why people genuinely now think we're "he-shes" who chose to "identify" that way, rather than being men/women with a serious fucking medical condition

I literally saw an advertisement for Wikipedia on YouTube, the first ad I've ever seen for wikipedia. I didn't know they advertised at all! And this ad was showing off an article about how sex isn't binary because there are a bunch of genes involved with it and more than just the shape of the last chromosome matters.

They lost most of my respect after that. I was considering donating, but I will not give them money if it's going to advertisements meant to spread misinformation. Even if what they're saying is technically true, it is written in such a manner that it intentionally leads people to the wrong conclusion, and I cannot respect any writer who does this

I used to donate to Wikipedia on the odd occasion. I haven’t done that in three or four years. Yet I keep getting emails from them begging me to give them some of my money. No, these propagandists can go bankrupt for all I care. It is satisfying seeing these emails begging for money. Not that they need the money from me, considering that they probably get bribes from people like George Soros.

"transtastic neoliberal agenda"

Why did this sentence remind me of Mister Metkour's "Transtastic tales part 1: How the sausage is made" video?

I found out recently that the entire Scots Gaelic section of Wikipedia is a hoax.

Don't take anything you find there at face value!

Scottish Gaelic and the Scots language are two different languages.

The former looks nearly identical to Irish and the latter looks identical to Middle English.

Thank you for telling me. And there is no such thing as "Scots Gaelic" right? After I typed that yesterday, I kept feeling like it was off somehow, and I Googled quite a bit and was just even more confused afterwards.

So Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic would be like analogous to Australian vs England English, very similar with some differences, whereas Scots would be super different, sort of like how Latin is to Italian?

Some people use the term Scots Gaelic went talking about Scottish Gaelic, but it creates confusion with Scots and therefore Scottish Gaelic is preferred instead.

So Scots might say: Why sae sad gang ye?

In modern English it would be: Why are you going around in such sadness?

But in Scottish Gaelic it would be: Carson a tha thu brònach falbh?

The Gaelic languages are as related to English as much as English is related to Russian or Hindi.

However Irish and Scottish Gaelic are not the samething, you could think of it like Danish and Swedish which has some level of mutual intelligibility. Scottish Gaelic does quite a few weird or archaic things compared to Irish, has a very strong accent and contains a considerable amount of loan words from English. Therefore Irish speakers who are not native speakers will find it nearly impossible to understand, but those who grew up in Irish speaking communities would be able to understand it.

Here is a kids video of Scottish Gaelic, you can clearly hear all the English loan words when talking about school stationary.

Maybe this wiki article was removed because it was concidered as...
