Hi @ASA_UK @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk
The Diversity details section of your job application has what appears to be a partial list of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010. However, it has 'gender' but not sex.

'Gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Hi @TowerHamletsNow @Alvius_ai @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk
The Diversity section of your job application asks "Which gender do you identify as?" with options:
Male
Female
Other.

Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology and there is no 'other' way describe one's sex.

'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.

You then ask "Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?"
Equating 'gender' or 'gender identity' with sex is meaningless and relies on demeaning, regressive stereotypical notions of societal roles for the two sexes. Sex is immutable.

Asking about a personal characteristic such as 'gender' that is not a protected characteristic under the Act, may be in breach of the GDPR by processing personal - and potentially Special Category - data without a lawful basis.

The Equal opportunities section of the job application mentions the Equality Act 2010 four times and correctly lists sex as a protected characteristic.
However, you then ask, "Please indicate your gender" with options:
