If your institutionally mandated "diversity survey" doesn't include a 'prefer not to say' option for every single question, congratulations, I now know better than to believe that your institution is safe for minority students.

#original post #text post #stupid ass mandatory online survey asked me for my birth sex #as if that's relevant to anything at all #no “prefer not to say” options #like great.#My birth sex is personal information. I do not want to disclose that. But now I'm forced to pick the sex I was assigned at birth #thereby giving others the opportunity to categorize me into a binary gender based on what genitals I had at birth #before they've even spoken to me no less #and their website says “this information will be kept private and will only be made available to some members of faculty”#as if that makes it okay.#No.#The only person who needs to know what sex I was given as a baby is me.#Such an invasive thing to ask someone.#Point is nobody should be forced to out themselves as queer disabled an ethnic minority etc. etc.#And any institution which doesn't respect that isn't an institution that I want anything to do with.#vent in tags #vent post #frustrated #social justice #enbyphobia mention #implied transphobia #transphobia mention
