I find this a bit weird. It's the form for summer reading challenge. No other data capture around minority groups or access issues. I find it a bit creepy and a stealth way to collect data. Thoughts?

Thank you.

It’s vile.

@Soola it's the city library service. I think it's a creepy thing to collect data on.

What's the point, if they want to know who is using their service?

They are trying to encourage boys to read doing they want to know if they're getting them into the library?

I didn't like it. I crossed them all out on the form. My nephew who was with me made me write 'why????' In the box. He's 7

What age group is this aimed at and is it from the school or a library?

Oooh I wouldn't like that, when its connected to a name and a school.

Another way: Smarter than you, you brain dead woke morons, asking questions and then providing the possibility for answers that make the question completely f*cking meaningless.

It’s insidious. I would have used a black marker pen to write the word NONSENSE in the box that says ‘in another way.’

Remember this crap from a few years ago?

I would encourage DD to describe herself in another way as well as ticking the girl box. She has an obviously female name.

It does seem a bit strange how they ask but it's better than replacing sex with gender.
