Author Topic: Care to take an anonymous survey for me? (300 replies!)  (Read 2439 times)


282 responses so far.

I guess I can try and compile some results to post.

Demographics of the respondents:

The "what site did you come from" is a bit skewed because I only started asking the question after I got a bunch of responses from Voat.

I'll post the rest tomorrow, I'm going to bed now.

Thanks to your research, we're one step closer to identifying and cleansing the 5% of people who need to be "special".

Regardless of whether you personally view transgender identities as legitimate, allowing people to self-identify on a survey is still a valuable method of collecting more data.

There's literally no reason to get in a huff about being presented with other survey options that don't even apply to you. Race is an invented human construct too. Do you start bitching when a survey asks you to identify as white, black, or Hispanic?

Race is, however, physically evident.

Not really. Humans have intermixed for thousands of years, and the genetic boundaries between, say, Africans and Arabs and Whites and Asians aren't really well-defined. Most of us have a cut-off point in our own mind of what an African person looks like, but it's entirely invented and not actually based on well-defined genetic traits.

On the same token, if someone has tits, dresses female, talks characteristically 'female', but also has a richard, isn't it physically evident that they're transgender?
