I’ve just been asked via Facebook (friend of friend of friend) to fill in a survey as part of a wider university dissertation. Subject- what if any discrimination have you experienced in mountaineering/hill walking/outdoor pursuits as a result of your gender identity.
I’m very confused as to what the survey maker means or wants from me. (Note, there is no free text box..... sadly!)
Its one area I haven’t faced any discrimination on the basis of my sex, which isn’t what it’s asking about anyway.
I am a biological woman and haven’t faced any discrimination of the basis of being trans and feeling that I am biologically a man, because I’m not and I don’t. (Regards of how people feel about trans issues etc, I totally see that some people in real life might take issue with trans individuals and that there might be discrimination involved).
So how the hell do I answer about gender?What is it even asking me, if it’s separating sex from gender in this way??!! Is it honestly trying to suggest that I might not be ‘girl-ing’ in a feminine enough way? Or, that I might be ‘girl-ing’ in a TOO feminine way? Ugh I’m so over this stuff.
