Delete My Gender Please

153 replies

Barracker · 12/10/2018 16:25

Dear @MNHQ. I do not have any gender, because as I'm sure you know, I don't believe in gender as a characteristic that people 'have', only as a stereotypical role people of a sex are expected to perform.

Therefore, as you currently hold some 'gender' data on me that states:
Barracker, Gender = Female
AND as that data is both false and I do not consent for you to hold it, please delete that specific piece of data from my personal information at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.

(If you would care to capture data on my biological sex, I would be delighted to offer you that data. Do let me know as soon as you create a field to capture my sex data. This should also assist you if you intend to monitor or analyse data on the Equality Act 2010 regarding the protected characteristic sex.)

Warmest regards

Barracker x

Hyppolyta yes as I would still have no idea what they were talking about either and to worry about such stuff like, whether someone thinks you are male or female is having too much time on your hands. “Just be more you” be that man/woman or indifferent.💕

Trans women are at birth identified and given the identity of a man, when in reality they are women.

That has got to be one of the most ludicrous statements I have ever read but what I really want to know is which man's identity were they given? Does he know?

This is the standard of logic and argument TRAs want laws to be based upon.

RedDogsBeg · 12/10/2018 20:06

Oh and yes you can record my sex MNHQ, I don't do gender.

TheElementsSong · 12/10/2018 20:18

Please delete mine too, MNHQ!

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.

IKeepFlouncing · 12/10/2018 20:19

Delete my gender too please
My sex is female

YogaDrone · 12/10/2018 20:29

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

Cachailleacha · 12/10/2018 20:31

Just checked and you can delete your own gender in settings

HawkeyeInConfusion · 12/10/2018 20:38

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

WoodpeckersAreWood · 12/10/2018 20:42

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.

HawkeyeInConfusion · 12/10/2018 20:43

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.....

HawkeyeInConfusion · 12/10/2018 20:43

male.

FFS.

Cachailleacha · 12/10/2018 20:45

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.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 12/10/2018 20:45

My gender is Subordinated / treated as subordinate

AnotherBewilderedQuoll · 12/10/2018 20:45

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.

Jiggy16 · 12/10/2018 22:44

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

frazzled1 · 12/10/2018 22:50

Please delete my gender too, MNHQ

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

#deletemygender

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 12/10/2018 22:55

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

Fearandsurprise · 13/10/2018 03:32

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.

Onatreebyariver · 13/10/2018 03:36

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

DancelikeEmmaGoldman · 13/10/2018 05:20

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?

pancaketosser · 13/10/2018 08:07

Please define 'in reality'.

NotZenEnough · 13/10/2018 08:14

Me too! I don't have a gender.
