eh i probably shouldn’t have said rigorous, it’s still wikipedia. low quality stuff has slipped through the cracks.
regardless, the only reason those articles exist is because enough reputable news sources and public figures published work on the topic, even if it’s propaganda.

i consider myself to be detrans-ish, my gender shifted back towards my AGAB but other than stopping HRT and changing my name back, i still live as a trans man in most situations as I don’t really want to reverse the effects of T (hair removal, voice training) or dress fem

the only detrans ppl that matter are the ones they can use to push their agenda. not the ones who still associate with the trans community, the ones who are still obnoxiously queer or who reverse their social/medical transition but identify as nonbinary, the ones who are progressive etc…

if you click “learn more about this page” or whatever it is on the desktop version, there are links to various evals the article had and like 9 pages of archived talk page discussions. there’s no reliability guarantee but high rated articles on controversial subjects tend to have (3)

check the article’s talk page for discussion and evaluation archives to get a good idea of how editors were approaching it and if concerns were brought up and addressed (or not). this article’s talk page was pretty busy prior to 2015 (2)

people can and have requested reevaluations of featured and good articles, there’s no guarantee that a good article will stay good. It has been 10 years since the GA designation so it’s best to look through the edit history since, and (1)

obviously take any wikipedia article with a grain of salt due to the nature of the project, but there are internal processes of evaluating the quality of articles and sources, and ways to tell what articles are considered reliable by the editor/wikipedian community (which is pretty diverse).
