Hi @RoySocChem @helenpain_rsc

In your Member application, you ask for the 'gender' of the applicant with options:

Female
Male
Non-Binary
Other.

...but you don't say what you mean by 'gender'...

members.rsc.org/membermrsc#vaff

1/4
...nor why you include the terms for the two sexes, female and male..

Can you explain why you ask this & what you mean by the terms?

2/4
The field isn't mandatory but can you say what someone who didn't have a 'gender' (whatever you mean by the term) should put? Should they just leave it blank?

3/4
And can you say why you don't ask for the sex of the applicant, particularly in light of your #ChemEquality campaign?

Hi @STAR__Centre @rapecrisisscot @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

In your advert for your Support & Advocacy Worker vacancy, you say "only women [sic] need apply under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010."

Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology - 'other' is not a valid option.

'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.
