that one poll.

[rkt]

awhile back, i had the "opportunity" to complete an internets survey.
rather than me sitting and ripping apart and ranting against this masterpiece, let's play the "what's wrong with this picture" game.

I don't know why trans is included in sexual orientation - you can be trans and gay, or trans and straight or trans and bi or trans and other. Trans is gender. I also don't know why "self" isn't included as an option in the first question.
I'm tired of le queer. I'm way too cynical for pride weekend.... Women suck, men are ugly. :(

Oy, these conflate orientation with gender identification. Heck "is" in the first question is a problem - both temporally and in terms of who is performing identification.

Sex, gender identification and who one wants to snog are all separate categories. And one should ask the question that one really wants the answer to. I think the first question is meant to be "Do you know anyone you think is queer?", but one can't use the Q-word.

Are you trying to keep me up all night ranting?

I can only consider myself one of the above? Damn.

All I know is I'm a muff diver.

Definitely problematical.

*sigh* conflation of gender identity and sexual orientation
*sigh* binary identification
*sigh* fixed identity
*SIGH* Nothing I would ever check is on there

Yup! Trans = gender identity and not sexual orientation.

Gender identity and sexual orientation are not related!

what you said.
