      12. Sex is a fundamental category in social science. Failing to collect data according to sex undermines our ability to talk about sexism, let alone tackle it. #surveys #invisiblewomen

      Gender was always (and still often is) treated as a synonym for sex. So I don’t think it would have been an issue for historical papers. It’s only recently that some people have started to use gender to mean ‘gender identity’ as opposed to a social structure.

      So we now need to be really clear in distinguishing between: 1 sex; 2: gender (social structure treating m and f differently based on sex); and 3: gender identity. It strikes me that 3 might be better captured with some kind of scale.

      It would have to be a freetext box. According to Stonewall's definition it is an "innate sense of your own gender". So the question is "do you have an innate sense of your own gender?" "what is it?" -- or perhaps more usefully for statistical purposes "do you identify as trans?"pic.twitter.com/YMzcz4dBHc

      Semi-seriously, despite all the sex is a spectrum stuff I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone suggesting asking for it on a Likert Scale. I may regret mentioning this.

      How annoyed are you by being pushed into regressive gender stereotype boxes just to be able to say you are a woman? "slightly peeved" "somewhat miffed" "severely exasperated" "very cross" "fuming"pic.twitter.com/BuOPghV9Zm
