Intersectionality is really important, and ignoring complex identity to create a uniform "minority' category only serves to erase and make the categories "default/other." So, it would be good to allow ppl to disclose which groups they belong to if they are comfortable doing so.

My understanding/thinking was making the label of the group to be along one axis of identity (gender) and to leave space for people to specify any other features of their identity they may want to in their own words. >

A bit like, when asking people to give info on their gender, leaving just a blank plain-text field, and working with whatever they report, rather than offering a set of options. That's the ONLY way I want to collect gender data.

But I haven't collected gender data. Exactly for this reason.

Olivia, my bad for not reading enough into the thread before commenting. Sorry.

It's fine — you really confused me. Twitter easily gets out of hand!

Just a heads-up that I'm offline for the next hours - ttfn
