The survey goes quick, so let's do our bit for the club to help evolve the community, fellow Jacks and visitor experience and increase our profile as the most supportive and caring club in the world.

Why does that bother you?

Why does that bother you?

What relevance is my sexual orientation watching my team play ?

 

[Neath_Jack]

What relevance is my sexual orientation watching my team play ?

Well, considering the subject of the survey, I would say that it’s very relevant, wouldn’t you?

They also asked your age. Did bother you as much?

Is there an inclusive issue in our fanbase?

What’s an “inclusive issue”?

I’ll take that as a yes then

Have you considered how someone with a different background might experience this situation?

Have you imagined yourself in the position of someone who is marginalized or treated differently?

How might they feel or what challenges might they face?

An inclusion survey might want to know your gender at birth for several reasons, all ultimately aimed at gaining a more nuanced and accurate understanding of inclusivity among the surveyed fans.

By including the question about gender at birth alongside questions about current gender identity, inclusion surveys can gather more meaningful data to inform effective strategies for creating a truly inclusive environment.

It can help avoid assumptions. They could be analysing representation or identyfying disparaties and systematic inequalities.

Asking about gender at birth helps to clearly separate the concept of biological sex assigned at birth from an individual's current gender identity. They could be conducting an intersectional analysis.

This was just one example. Similar relevant analysis would apply to disabilities, ethnicity and so on.

It's also about shared humanity.

As we know there are commonalities that exist between all people, regardless of their differences, e.g., the desire for belonging, happiness, safety. Do we want that for everyone or just ourselves?

Among other areas, their trying to seemingly help everyone be included and feel included by everyone for the best match day experience. Inclusivity also enriches society, fosters innovation, and creates stronger communities, workplaces and supports mental health and wellbeing and we all want that right? For example you or someone you knows health might suffer and one might become disabled. Inclusivity helps and changes can take a long time. So this is a super positive initiative by the club.

Notice no room to answer "do the club act OK to the disabled. "
Loads of us over the East have an obvious trip hazard coming into the ground from the NE corner.
Club has been informed by the stewards and staff, as well as the supporters.
1st trip by anyone (able body or disabled) and H and S (Council or HSE) are going to go nuts.

Also no answer for "would you call someone's racist comments out to their face" rather than just report it.
Just because I'm disabled, doesn't mean I won't call people out for wrong behaviour.
Just as I'd expect people to do to me.

Good call. Have you tried to report it here?:

If you don't succeed. Try and try again

Why not mention to them your point about the survey too, so hopefully they can take it into consideration for next time. At the same time it might be picked up now and it could help make a difference sooner. Every little helps.
