From the BC Transgender Policy:
Definitions:
Birth Gender: the gender that a person is assumed to be when they are born. This is usually based on the Sex they are assigned at birth.
Gender: the social, and cultural construction of what it means to be a man or a woman, including roles, expectations and behaviour.
Gender Identity: a person’s internal, deeply felt sense of self, for example, a man, a woman, or a NonBinary person. A person’s Gender Identity may or may not correspond with their Sex.
Medical Professional: a person qualified to provide medical treatment to an individual.
Non-Binary: where an individual does not identify as being part of the binary gender (male or female).
Participant: any person participating in an Event or other cycling related activity promoted or administered by British Cycling, including but not limited to any Member, Affiliate, Spectator, Licensee Volunteer or Contractor from time to time;
Recreational Activity: any non-competitive British Cycling organised activity, including but not limited to; the Breeze programme, Guided Ride, and Let’s Ride Pop-up.
Self-Identified Gender: the gender that the person identifies as, opposed to that which is assigned at birth, their ‘Birth Gender’.
Sex: a person’s biological and physical characteristics, defined usually as either ‘male’ or ‘female’ and including indeterminate Sex.
Transgender: a person whose Gender Identity is different from their physical Sex at birth. Those people who, as defined by the Equality Act 2010, share the protected characteristic of gender reassignment
and are described as transsexual people under the legislation.
I am embarrassed for the person who wrote that load of utter tosh.
They even have the audacity to say that transgender people are described and as Transsexual people under the EA 2010 - they are not. That is such a Stonewallism - 'the law hasn't quite caught up with us so we will redefine it ourselves'.... Talk about entrenching societal sex based stereotypes!!
