Sex and genderare central aspects of identity

How to include gender perspectives in our
research? Quantitative analysis of the
correlation between- seemingly irrelevant
information of an individual- the individuals
identity. (FIDIS Proposal, p. 6)

I suggest some key questions The search for
the use of the criterion of sex.1) Does sex
play a role in our own research?2) In which
sense does it play a role?3) Is the criterion of
sex completely absent?4) Is sex identified in
the IMS?
14
How to move on to the screening of gender? 1)
How does the criterion of sex play a role in our
research?2) How is the sex variable used?3)
What correlations are made with this variable?4)
Are the connections made by obvious biological
differences?5) Do the connections refer to
stereotypes?
15
Realizing that sex and gender are central aspects
of identity.Looking at the use of the
criterion of sex and taking it into account.
