Welcome to the Gender Diversity Wiki! This is an open platform dedicated to systematically organizing knowledge related to gender diversity. Gender Diversity refers to a broader range of gender identities and expressions beyond the traditional male-female binary, including transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, and other diverse groups.

This encyclopedia collects theoretical knowledge, historical research, cultural phenomena, and other long-term content, including: basic gender-related concepts, historical changes in gender-diverse communities, community cultural development, academic research findings, and artistic and literary expressions. We also focus on gender diversity issues and expressions in contemporary internet culture. It should be noted that this encyclopedia does not include specific medical resource information, handbooks, or guides with strong time sensitivity, nor does it constitute medical advice.

Traces how national medical rules, population surveys, youth studies, family-violence research, clinical collaboration, and community support records have documented transgender people’s relationships with families since 2009, and proposes a family-interface matrix and relationship-state ledger for separating notification, material dependence, disclosure, violence or change efforts, clinical participation, and peer support.
