FAWCETT’S POSITION ON GENDER IDENTITY
We recognise and understand the difference between sex and gender. We remain of the view that gender is a social construct from which women experience discrimination, and that it emerges from the oppression of the female biological sex class. Due to this, we campaign against stereotypes and gender norms which are harmful and constrain choices for both women and men. However, the fact is that some people define themselves in terms of their gender identity and in our survey we were interested to find out what the public thinks about this.
Respondents were asked which statement best describes their view – either, “There are two genders, male or female”, or “Gender can be a range of identities”. We realise that “male” and “female” refer to sex rather than gender, but we felt when asking ordinary members of the public this was the easiest way to gauge public attitudes to gender identity in a single question.
Our focus is on the lived experience of women. We want to make women’s lives better and will continue to campaign for a more equal society free from gender discrimination. That focus has not changed.
At Fawcett we also see ourselves as part of the wider community of feminist, equality and human rights organisations. We therefore recognise the lived experiences of trans people, see feminism as inclusive, and therefore will work towards equality for women in a way in which is consistent with this.
