Notably the Trevor Project intake form asks about whether a person is transgender in addition to their gender to better provide support to people asking them for help—a good reason to ask for more info #WorldIADay
@epenzeymoog We were honored to have you and be part of sharing your very important work. ❤️
Thank you so much @WIADChicago for having me and to all the attendees who shared their thoughts and stories with me afterwards! And HUGE shoutout for being so great about providing the accommodations I needed to present while going through this reaction to antibiotics.
Visit Fen’s (@sublimemarch) website for two free resources: Pronouns 101 and An Organizer’s Guide to Using Pronoun Buttons. Hope to see all @WorldIADay organizers using pronoun buttons next year. #wiad19
Great quote from Sarah Dopp - “You have the power to influence normal.” Showing many gender and sex options on forms normalizes it even for people who don’t need those options. @sublimemarch #WIAD19 #WIADChi
Very important reminders: 1) You can’t infer something from name, sex, gender, pronouns, or title. 2) Randomize order of options. 3) Use “something else” not “other”. 4) Take only data you absolutey need. @sublimemarch #WIAD19 #WIADChi
If you need a title or honorific (v fancy) provide a list of common options with a radio button. Mx. is a common gender neutral honorific. @sublimemarch #wiad19 #wiadchi
Ask for prounouns if that’s what you need. Radio buttons with common pronoun options (she/her/hers, they/them/their, he/him/his) and open text field for something else. @sublimemarch #wiad19 #wiadchi
If you need to ask sex for a medical reasons have radio buttons with male, female, intersex. For gender, have an open text field. @sublimemarch will fight your developer if they complain about data sanitizing #wiad19 #wiadchi
If you do have to ask gender and sex: 1) Take only the data you need. 2) Don’t require a response. 3) Explain your purpose and privacy policy. 4) Ask the right question. 5) Give the right options. @sublimemarch #WIAD19 #wiadchi
Fen is helping the room understand what it feels like to be asked gender on a form when you’re non-binary or transgender. If we’re asked our age and got four options and HAD to choose one. @sublimemarch #WIAD19 #wiadchi
There are many bad reasons to ask for gender or sex - style preferences, curiosity, social networking, advertising, “just in case.” @sublimemarch #wiad19 #wiadchi
There are some valid reasons to ask for gender or sex - medical purposes, demographics, inclusion data, EEOC, insurance and risk, online dating. @sublimemarch #wiad19 #wiadchi
The main question from @sublimemarch: How should we ask about sex and gender? The answer is don’t ask! #wiad19 #wiadchi
Fen is starting by getting us all on the same page on terms related to gender and sex. @sublimemarch #wiad19 #WIADChi
Last up is Fen Slattery @sublimemarch to discuss how to ask about gender and sex. #wiad19 #wiadchi
Common critique of designing for domestic abuse: “won’t this stifle our creativity?” No - @sara_ann_marie says no one complains that designing cars for safety stifles creativity. @benedictevans #WIAD19
Common critiques: “Is this really our responsibility?” The answer is yes. @epenzeymoog #WIAD19
What do we do now? 1. Include domestic abuse in scenarios. 2. Imagine scenarios for abuse. Design against them. 3. Identify opportunities for product to intervene in a safe way. @epenzeymoog #WIAD19 #wiadchi
