Hi everyone,
I am in a dilemma here, as i will be applying for work experience at uni soon.

A question that may come up for me at one point during this process is “is your gender the same as your sex assigned at birth” - basically, in other words, are you trans.

Can i lie and say “yes”. Or is this unlawful of me.
I would never lie on any other questions, but why should i share personal, medical information when this does not impact my job performance?

Just i am ftm, i do not share that i am trans in real life, and this feels a bit outing. Especially with the ECHR guidance it could mean i would not be permitted to use male spaces, and I can’t use females due to T changes.

Answering no to this question gives me so much anxiety about entering a new place as i honestly just want to be known as my name, thats it. I don’t know ant to share information that is personal to me if it is unrelated to my job performance,

How does everyone answer this?
Thanks

Hi everyone, i hope this post is okay and it comes from a well intended place :)

I am trans ftm, and my personal experience has always been predominantly medical for me (sex focussed and transition).

I recognise this is my experience and not everyone else’s, nor have i ever assumed everyone has to fit this experience btw.

I am interested in working in gender services in the future, but i lack a lot of education into non binary identities.

My question is, and the point of this post is, can anyone recommend me any books, creators, websites and so on i can look at to learn more. Naturally (binary or non binary) experiences can differ and it is easier to see things from our own perspectives/experiences only sometimes.

Any good recommendations?
Thank you 😃
