Hi @HWBromley @HealthwatchE

In your Mental Health Survey, you ask "To which gender identity do you most identify?" with options:

Male
Female
Transgender male
Transgender female
Gender variant/Non-conforming
If other, please specify

surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SHZMPTQ

1/4
You don't say what you mean by 'gender identity' but female and male are terms for the two sexes and are not 'identities' so your question is confusing.

It's also not clear what you mean by the other terms you use.

2/4
Can you say why you are asking about 'gender identity' and why you don't ask for the sex of the person, particularly when sex is a significant factor when considering mental health?

3/4
Why not simply ask "What is your sex?" with female, male and prefer not to say as options.

Alternatively, why not ask "Are you:" with the same options?

Please respond.

4/4

Hi @WDCouncil @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The Equal Opportunities Form in your job application has 'gender' in a list of what appears to be the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

'Gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/…

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act, but that is not on your list.

You then ask "How would you describe your gender?" with options:

Female
Male.

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, but you don't ask for that.
