User:Sock-the-guy
Hi! I always wanted to be an editor but it doesn't pay, so I'm a software engineer instead. Actually! I'm studying law now!! If I'm on here I'm probably avoiding my homework...
I like to learn by doing! If I'm practicing with something low-stakes and you see a way to do it better, consider dropping a message with what you'd do so I can get the practice. I'd appreciate the patience and opportunity.

"Masoud El Amaratly, The Folk Music Icon from Iraq’s Marshes" : 22 minute video? maybe just his music

Questionable reliability: "The following post was written by Marwan Kaabour, a London-based, Beirut-born multidisciplinary artist and designer in the art and cultural sector. He is the founder of Takweer, a platform that explores and archives queer narratives in Arab history and popular culture."

"The BL's curators are also writing contextual features, to help interpret the wealth of material and highlight unique stories from the archive - such as the tale of Massoud El Amaratly.
Born female in southern Iraq in the early 20th Century, El Amaratly identified as male, and became famous in Baghdad in the 1920s for his distinctive renditions of rural folk songs, external. The BL has several recordings, and has brought in ethnomusicologist Rolf Killius to curate a unique digital Gulf music archive that also includes such rarities as traditional pearl-divers' sea shanties."

also iffy reliability
"There are examples of Caliphs who had male partners, like Muhammed al Amin. In modern history we had singers, actors, trans people, like female-to-male Masoud al Amaratly, a singer popular in the 1920s. Under King Faisal we had a secular, open society. We were one of the first Arab countries to have women ambassadors and a liberal civil code."
