Gender identity

problèmeThe traditional way of asking someone's gender is either insensitive to transgender and gender non-conforming people, or doesn't capture the information you're seeking.

solutionConsider whether you actually need to know the respondents' gender, and if so separate out the question on gender identity from gender history.

What problem does this solve?

Que vous meniez une enquête ou que vous collectiez des mesures ou des statistiques et que vous vouliez connaître la répartition par sexe des personnes interrogées, vous devez être sensible au fait que tout le monde rentre pas dans la définition binaire du genre masculin/féminin.

Quelle est la solution ?

Surveys frequently include questions about gender, among other demographic questions. In some cases, knowing the gender of your respondents can help you interpret their answers to other survey questions. For instance, you may want to know whether individuals who identify as one gender were more or less satisfied with a group activity you led at a workshop, or if they're more or less inclined to perform certain editing activities. In other cases, it may be unnecessary to know their gender.

If you decide to include questions about gender, consider phrasing the questions in ways that don't force respondents to choose a gender category or declare a gender identity they're not comfortable with. As a minimum, allow participants to opt out of identifying as male or female. You can do this by making gender-related questions optional in your survey, or by providing respondents with additional options, such as "Other (please specify)", "Neither male nor female", or "I'd rather not say."

Considérations générales

• If the goal of your survey is to understand gendered experiences or opinions, consider asking separate questions about physiological gender and gender identity.
• Because gender identity is a spectrum rather than a set of discrete and mutually exclusive categories, always give participants an option to skip the question or describe their gender identity in their own words.
