The Great Gender Labeling Poll

Postby urnofosiris » Thu Dec 05, 2002 7:36 am

We have interesting sexuality and age polls which give some nice info as to the diversity of the people that visit this board. I have learned by now that no one is the only one here. Meaning, some new people who come here assume they are either the only straight guy or everyone is a lesbian etc.

When I came here I though I was the only Dutch guy (I really was at the time, the only one from Holland I mean, not the only guy, heh) and the only transsexual (which I wasn't as I discovered later).



I know not everyone wants to label themselves or let people know what gender they are or whether they are trans or not. The relative anonymity of the internet has it's perks. But the beauty of polls such as these is that they are anonymous, unless you make a post giving away your answer of course :p



So anyway, though I never really felt like it on this board, it did help me to know I wasn't 'the only one', if you know what I mean, or not.



I've created five categories which include all options I hope. (And to think that we are traditionally taught there are only 2 options: man and woman. Well I have discovered from experience there are more, hee.)



To clarify a bit as this terminology can be confusing: with Transman I mean anyone who identifies as male but who isn't necessarily inhabiting a body that fits the traditional description. So it doesn't matter what you look like, if you take hormones or not, have had surgery or not etc. Same for Transwoman. Female and Male would be the way it according to the books and for most people. Gender? What gender? is meant to cover the remaining options of those who either don't want to label themselves or who identify as both.


Results (total votes = 318):













Female 
266 / 83.6%  

Male 
31 / 9.7%  

Transwoman 
1 / 0.3% 

Transman 
3 / 0.9%  

Gender? What gender? 
17 / 5.3%

this looks like a good poll. :) I put myself down as female...i look like the traditional female and feel like it. Except for the tomboy-ness but you know...the majority wins :P Probably made no sence..shutting up now

I'm female and quite comfortable with that thank you very much ;) although if skirts continue to get shorter I may reconsider!

*thinks* Ugh...Maybe I go with 'Gender? What gender?' because I don't feel like woman, which body I have, or man (so no transman here). I feel like I'm kinda genderless, at the middle of both.
