CIS woman in survey

33 replies

Hi all perhaps you can help me here, I’ve been sent a survey about the inclusion of transgender and non binary players into u18’s rugby, I wanted to fill it in but they ask whether you are a Cis Woman, Cis Man, Transgender or Non Binary and no option of just selecting woman. I want to do the survey as I think it’s important but I don’t want to select CIS anything as I hate the term, shall I just click ‘Other’??

Other's the only accurate answer there I'd think. I'm not cis - I've read the definitions, and by those, I am non-binary or trans (depending on whether they're including non-binary in trans or not, because sometimes they do)

But since I don't have a gender identity at all, and I don't subscribe to these ideas, Other is the way to go.

Personally I put other and then in the text box at the end said my sex was female & I don’t have a gender identity

Yes I would do that.

@Skyliner001

I'd just tick Cis 🙄
Is the eye roll for me or the survey?

@zanahoria

It is annoying but do not be sidetracked, the important matter is to do the survey

lf it will register your opinions in the group in which you want it to be counted then that is a good thing, at least they are not conflating the opinions of males and females by letting transwomen register as women. If you tick other who knows what they will think.

I hate cis but would tick that one if there was an opportunity to register a protest elsewhere in the form or just attach a note.

Great, thank you for the advice, it just got my back up. I know rugby isn’t the safest sport but I don’t want my daughter put at any more risk.
