I'm noticing that most, if not all of the articles on that page already
have English translations. Is there a list of redlinks somewhere of
articles that would be of importance to the transgender community that
people could work on?
Here is one for the list: there is no article in Hebrew as yet for
transgender rights activist Nisha Ayub, who received the International
Women of Courage Award in 2016.
Many of the individuals who receive this type of award are in danger or
have been imprisoned for their activities. Imagine the effect of having a
Wikipedia page that pictures them standing next to a high-ranking
government official.

Dear friends,
We're sorry to inform you that user:DanVag chose to end her life last
week. User:Danveg was an active editor in HEWK and contributed mostly in
the subject of gender and transgender issues. She was also an active
volunteer in TLV Wikiwomen group. She guided newbies at Wikiwomen meetups
with a lot of patience and kindness.
As she was part of the transgender community, we urge you to consider
editing articles about transgender issues in her memory. Please add the
articles you edited to this page
