A few years ago a mumsnetter decided to tell her employer she id'd as trans, without changing her name, clothes etc. There was some consternation and bemusement from HR and then I lost the thread. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and what happened to the thread?
I don't think @Somerville identified as 'trans' but as something like 'gender neutral' ... I'm not sure that was exactly it but essentially a label which would be accurate for a GC woman.
#Genderfree on twitter went wild, I think it was to do with either an application for something at work or an award that was specific to trans people, so she self ID's as genderfree as that comes under the Stonewall umbrella.
Yes I remember that too Somerville identified as gender free (but possible kept pronouns as she/her) was a wonderful idea to highlight the madness it was for a works award I think.
I’ve also done this at work. We have to fill out an annual 7 page form on gender choices and what we think about the gender inclusion policies, etc. I scribbled Copious notes all over mine rather than just tick boxes and handed it back in....was only a few weeks after I joined. They weren’t sure what to say.
