DU added fields to its information systems, allowing affiliates the option to self-identify by gender identity and pronouns. This is in addition to existing demographic information already requested of all affiliates.
Identity | Options Offered | Explanation |
Legal Sex |
| For DU's required reporting, and to avoid even appearance of identity fraud, this must match current government designation. |
*Gender Designation |
| Consistent, lived identity. Unlike legal sex or anatomical descriptors, this is the level at which most people interact with others. |
*Personal Pronouns |
| Term used as stand-in for name in conversation and correspondence. |
Prefix/Honorific | (e.g., Mr/Mrs/Ms/Mx, Dr, Hon, Prof, Rev) | Optional title or honorific used in formal greeting or correspondence. Some are traditionally based on gender, age, and/or marital status.1 |
*Expanded, "new" field
