Its my understanding that 'gender' is the term used for those who are transgender as well as for those who are not transgender; it designates one as a man or woman. 'Sex' represents whether someone is biologically a male or a female. So for example someone could biologically be a female but have the gender of a man.
I tweaked/edited the form I posted at the beginning of this thread so until a pdf is available, use it. Just paste into word processor, format if needed, print, fill out and mail it in. You can also send a scanned copy of it (must be legible) to me via email as long as the original is in the mail! laura(at)cassiopaea.org
I'll be sending out my application today - very exciting!!!
Regarding the gender question and the brief transgender discussion, I think the form now excludes transgender individuals cause it mixes both 'sex' (male, female) and 'gender' (man, woman). I think if you leave the question open after gender then that should probably cover it. This is an issue at my agency that we've been trying to work out in our forms as well.

Access to the New Forum
We are working on setting up the private FOTCM forum and I've already encountered a few issues. First of all, I'm doing a pretty heavy load of work just taking care of the applications, so it will help me a LOT if ya'll will use external considering when filling them out.
First: those who fill apps out by hand, be VERY careful to make sure your writing is legible. I've already got apps that I can't read.
Second: If you want to be part of the online FOTCM discussion, I'll need to give you account permissions on the forum here. That means I need to know your forum name and/or email address so I can easily find you to do that. Already, I have apps that give email addies that are NOT the ones used to sign up on the forum so when I do a search to give that individual permission to access the forum, it gives no return. I don't think I should be expected to write a bunch of emails just to figure out how to get you in the forum. You need to make it easy on me here!
If I think of anything else, I'll add it to this post.

I'm going to say sorry in advance because I'm probably one of those with small illegible handwriting
. Yeah, I should have thought of being externally considerate in that, but I was eager to send mine in. I can send in a neater one when then PDF file comes out. My apologies.
