WFTDA Statement About Gender:

Any individual of a Marginalized Gender, regardless of presentation or the gender they were assigned at birth, is welcomed and encouraged to participate in the WFTDA in any capacity, including skating on a WFTDA charter or holding elected office. Participation as a volunteer or employee is open to individuals of all genders. Marginalized Genders, by their nature, are constantly evolving and changing, so attempting to include an exhaustive list would limit the scope of this policy.

At the time of writing, the WFTDA considers the following to be examples of Marginalized Genders:

Women (the WFTDA uses women to refer to all women, including trans, cis, intersex, and gender-expansive women).

Individuals with gender identities belonging to the trans umbrella (i.e. those whose gender does not align with the gender they were assigned at birth). This includes, but is not limited to:

trans men, transfeminine and transmasculine individuals, those who are genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, and/or non-binary regardless of their presentation or the gender they have been assigned at birth. Individuals with culturally specific genders such as Two-Spirit. Intersex individuals, who perceive themselves as belonging to a Marginalized Gender. Any combination of the above (or other) Marginalized Genders. This list is not exhaustive and will be updated as needed.

The WFTDA does not and will not differentiate between members regardless of presentation and identity, and does not and will not set minimum standards of femininity or androgyny for its membership, or interfere with the privacy of its members for the purposes of eligibility. These activities include, but are not limited to, membership eligibility, disbursement of resources, and eligibility for office. The WFTDA is committing to do the work necessary to provide a truly inclusive and welcoming environment for all in our community who share this vision of equity and equality.

The gender identity of any and all WFTDA participants is considered confidential and private until such time, place, and capacity in which the individual wishes to disclose it.
