I read on here a really good response to be asked for pronouns that quoted the stonewall own policy back at them - that it was your right not to be forced to disclose your pronouns - I’ve had a hunt and found helpful replies but I can’t find the one that quotes the equality act or was it stonewall own policy or it might have been a law I can’t remember and I can’t find it!!

My teenager is constantly being asked to declare her pronouns and the group are constantly putting them back in every time she deletes them - the queen bee is demanding to know why she keeps deleting it and that quote would be so helpful (queen bee is a nightmare and although daughter stands up to her she is making life difficult for her’ but there was a wonderful post not too long ago saying …. Equality policy section x says I should not be pressured to disclose my gender etc ….. or words to that effect and I can’t find it for her - can anyone help or direct me to the thread?

I had hunted around and found great responses such as the one below ….. but I can’t find the one that quotes a policy etc … anyone able to help?

Thanks 🙏

'Why do you want to know, isn't that personal and private information. Are you asking people to out themselves, are you going to ask my sexual orientation next? This is highly inappropriate and I shall be sure to record this on my feedback to help improve future course content.'

Good for your DD. She sounds bright and non-conformist.

Sorry this is a friendship group - not that it matters. But it doesn’t really matter what group? Every time someone new joins the group, school, social activity - they start by insisting you state your name and then pronouns in turn….. around the group. She doesn’t need advice on her friends.

Don’t say get new friends or confront the school - as they are all doing it at her school and it’s peer pressure out of school. The queen bee has changed her name 4 times, and has changed her sexuality 5 times so insisted all cinema trips etc are started with a refresher of pronouns etc DD has refused and queen bee is putting the pressure on. She wants to good response to shut it down. She’s very very articulate and ignoring it or not going is not the answer. She wants to tackle it head on!

The one I read was really good and I’d just like to find it again ….DD doesn’t just want to say no. Although she can and has in the past. But she actually wants legal arguments to throw back at them and quote policy and law etc

It's Principle 6 (f)

P6 is the right to privacy

(f)Ensure the right of all persons ordinarily to choose when, to whom and how to disclose information pertaining to their sexual orientation or gender identity, and protect all persons from arbitrary or unwanted disclosure, or threat of disclosure of such information by others.

It's one of the so called Yogyakata Principles - which seem to hold some weight in this debate although as far as I am aware they were put together by an unaffiliated group.

I see if I can find the one you're after

What 'group' are you referring to? Who wants to know her pronouns?
