Design
This presentation explores gender identity and why an understanding of gender identity will help designers make effective designs even stronger. We’ll focus on the “gender question”—form fields that ask users to indicate their gender. We’ll determine how to ask this question in a world where gender is more than the male/female binary.

- Yasmine contacted me one day via Google chat.
- “Hey Jess Quick question for you I'm on a call with my partner right now - we want to add a gender field to our sign-up form”
- “I remember you saying how to address it - how it shouldn't just say male/female Or other What's the appropriate way to do it?”
- "It depends.”
- “It depends on why you're collecting the gender info and what you're going to to do with it.”
- “Why do you want to ask for gender information?"
- $ $$$
- “Do you think transgender people would be interested in ROAR’s product?”
- “The transgender people [I interviewed] have terrible stories. They’ve been spit on, hit, followed… it’s really disgusting.”
- Goals of the Gender Form Field • Be inclusive • Find out if transgender or gender non-conforming people are interested in the product • Segment data by gender for targeted messaging
- Yasmine plans to add the form to website very soon.
- How Do I Know When Gender Matters for My Product?
- Ask, Does Gender Matter in the Context of My Product?

- As designers, we’re building the front lines of the customer relationship.
