375 – Gender (R)
- $a – Gender (R)
- $s – Start period (NR)
- $t – End period (NR)
- $u – Uniform Resource Identifier (R)
- $v – Source of information (R)
- $2 – Source of term (NR)
- $a – Gender (R)
Gender is not a Core attribute for persons in RDA. Gender is a highly personal and sensitive attribute. Exercise restraint in adding gender terms to authority records, keeping in mind these PFAN best practices:
- Optionally record information about gender as the person self-identifies and explicitly discloses.
- Record masculin or féminin in accordance with the term used by the person, or with gendered pronouns and/or inflected nouns used in the source.
- Do not assume gender identity based on pictures or names.
- Do not dig for given names or genders assigned at birth.
- For transgender/transsexual persons, record the terms Transgenres or Transsexuels in accordance with the term used by the person.
- For well-known persons who publicly transition between males and female mid-life and have literary warrant for recording both genders, record both masculin and féminin and other terms as applicable.
- Record gender terms based on information in the source. For example, if a person claims to be a cisgender male, record Cisgenres $2rvm and masculin. If a person just says “en tant que jeune garçon [as a young boy] …” or uses male pronouns then record masculin, but do not assume he is cisgender or transgender.
- Record dates (375 $s and $t) associated with a gender only when the person explicitly provides dates of transition.
- Justify gender data recorded in the 375 field in a subfield $v or 670 field or both.
- Take into account the following considerations:
- Is there potential for this information to harm the person through outing or violating the right to privacy?
- Is there an indication that the person consents to having this information shared publicly?
- Will including this information help a library user in the search process?
When recording a term indicating gender, prefer the terms: masculin and féminin. For these terms, do not capitalize or indicate the source of the term in the $2 subfield.
If neither of these terms is appropriate or sufficiently precise, record an appropriate term or phrase, preferably using a controlled vocabulary, such as the RVMGD or the Gender and sexual diversity glossary, recording the source in subfield 2. For consistency, capitalize the first term in each subfield $a for terms other than masculin and féminin.
Example:
100 1# $a Lenoir, Axelle, $d 1979- 375 ## $a Transgenres $2 rvmgd 375 ## $a féminin $s 2018 375 ## $a masculin $s 1979 $t 2018
