I work for a very large employer. I recently filled in our "workers opinion survey".
Most of it was fine harmless stuff.
Then there were the questions on gender.
What was my gender?
Did that differ from the gender I was assigned at birth?
Now I know that they are bending over backwards to be inclusive. But these questions are actually frightening.
Any other question where I objected to the wording - I could go on my department focum and whinge. But these ones, if I whinge publicly I risk being branded as phobic - and to be honest I could end up not passing probation. And being accepting of all is actually very much part of my job.
But I feel attacked that my sex is becoming something that was arbitrarily assigned rather than a biological fact. It feels Kafkaesque.
Is there anything I can do?
