Delete My Gender Please

I have deleted my gender, and my daughter's. Happy to add our sexes when the option becomes available. When I signed up I perceived 'gender' as a naice alternative to sex but that can no longer be argued.

Under gdpr they should only be gathering personal data that is necessary to provide the service. Don’t see why they need data on gender, unicorns or any other invented concept.
Or sex, for that matter

Some of the legal reasoning on this thread is completely wrong (solicitor specialising in sex discrimination). Suffice to say this area is a legal mess and the legislation (and surrounding guidance and case law) is not consistent or precise in its use of terminology, partly because that was not in the minds of those drafting the law at the time.

I am advising clients to remove the word gender from their forms and replace with the word sex. This is because certain groups have adopted the terminology sex and gender to mean two different things even though the majority of the population wouldn't consider the words to be anything but interchangeable. The whole "gender is a social construct" line is misconceived IMO.

Notwithstanding that -

I am a woman.

I am not a "cis" woman. There is already a way of distinguishing. The two terms are "woman" and "transwoman".

I am certainly not a "womxn" even if the use of this ridiculous term is justified by saying that biological women are a subset of the new category of "womxn".

My biological sex is female.

Since we seem to be immersing ourselves in the world of stereotyping, whether I'm a feminine girly woman with pink ribbons in my hair or a masculine butch woman with a skin head and wearing dungarees and doc martins is irrelevant.

Whether I "feel like" I'm trapped in the wrong body is irrelevant.

I would prefer that the information that I am female is recorded as my "sex"

Although do yourselves a favour MNHQ. Just remove the question. Why do you even need to know? I'm sure your advertisers know that your audience is primarily female without you presenting them with the stats.

Me too! I don't have a gender.

Please define 'in reality'.

Ta

The transition is their social, legal and often medical transition to living fully as a woman.

What does that mean? How do you live as a woman? It’s a real question because I have never understood what it means. I’m a woman and it’s six months since I last wore a skirt, longer since I last wore makeup. I drive a utility vehicle and wear boots a lot - am I living as a man?

Other than biology, what part of living is so typically female that all women do it? Is it being accepted as woman-adjacent by society at large? I’m assuming except for the expectations of caring for the young and elderly and getting paid less.

What are the commonalities of women which are not dependent on biology?

Me too please delete any erroneous data you hold about my gender. I don’t have a gender.

Luckily, a lot of forms now give an “other” option to the gender question, and usually give a free text box you can use if you think it is important that the organisation needs to know your sex.

MNHQ - I do not have a gender, so please delete any information you have on me relating to gender

i will be happy to provide accurate data about my sex on request

Please delete my gender too, MNHQ

I have a sex, I don't have a gender.

#deletemygender

I also would like to have sex not gender recorded! Sex - female!

Am I the only one who pressed skip on everything when registering? Mine you I do keep deleting.

I still support the #deletemygender

Btw anyone else bouncing with happiness at latest pictures (off course you are unless you transactivist)

I'd also like to be added to that list please, MumsNet. I don't have a 'gender identity' and I don't identify with any genders. And if I did, I say it should be up to me to: a) Specify which one, and b) Decide whether I want to disclose, when, and to whom.

So if MumsNet would please drop the gender stuff from my details, and in its place include fact that I'm female- an adult human female, therefore Woman- I'd really appreciate it. Cheers.

My gender is Subordinated / treated as subordinate

But you can't delete the gender of your DC.
'Delete your information' at the bottom, does that work? Then add back what you want. I never added children so I don't know if it works but it deleted everything (except if I was pregnant) for me.

male.

FFS.

It won't let me change my gender to 'unspecified'. It won't save.

I can change to make though. And as it's Friday.....

Ive just checked.

I have no gender. Which is nice.

Thank you. If MNHQ want to know my biological sex, I’ll happily supply the info.

But you can't delete the gender of your DC.

Just checked and you can delete your own gender in settings

Delete mine too please MNHQ. I've been a man today anyway, as it's Friday, but I'd prefer not to have to chop and change #deletemygender

Delete my gender too please
My sex is female

I see the transactivist are fwelling needy tonight!

Does your mystical sea creature leader know you being agnostic, aren’t you supposed to be taking notes ready to use batphone

You can add me to this. I do not have a gender. In fact, by current "popular" standards, I would probably be GNC. I am in fact, perfectly content with my birth sex.

Please delete mine too, MNHQ!
