Please answer all questions in the form below. If you cannot load the site, it’s because you do not have javascript enabled or something, try a stock browser. The goal is for this to be pinned until the end of the weekend. All responses are anonymized, IP is not logged, and all responses will be made public after the questionnaire is closed. Cis people aren’t shown further questions beyond the first 2.

Are null/void really pronouns people use or is that something goofed up on the backend?
Its a choice someone requested

It’s out of scope for this survey, but it would be interesting to see cis male responses to personal questions regarding gender, sexuality, self-worth related to gendered expectations, and a lot of other stuff. I think just asking the questions could be healthy for a lot of people, and then seeing the results could be healthy too, depending.
yeah i think it would be pretty fun to see results from that!
I’d be down for that, would be interesting and healthy. Introspection helped me realize I am pan, not cishet like I thought I was for far too long
Who knew cishet guys normally don’t fantasize about sex with men? Not this dumbass
Yeah, this is a great example! Part of the reason why I’d be interested in this is that I’m not sure anyone is 100% completely cishet. I suspect everyone is at least a little bit queer, even if they lean heavily towards certain cishet preferences, and I think that queerness (even if it’s just a sliver) is probably hiding underneath some heavy repression. I’d be curious to know if I’m onto something or if it’s just wishful thinking on my part.

That pretty much describes my experience and thoughts exactly, was a bit excited to write “pan” instead of “het” on the questionaire until I saw it was mainly about gender, haha.
Might just be me, but gender is the same way. I am 90% cis, like 75% het, though I don’t really consider myself genderqueer and thinking of myself as queer in general feels like stolen valor since I never acted on it, and is a recent realization so it doesn’t feel “natural” even if it was very explanatory for me.
That’s why I support introspection, I certainly need more myself. This stuff is complicated and should be confronted more.

Final question: “What are your last words?”
Survey closed, will get back with you all with the data soon enough
2 questions:
Would you recommend Hexbear to any of your transgender/gender diverse friends that do not visit Hexbear?
Is it a general question about hexbear or specifically in regards to the trans/gender diverse atmosphere? There are all kinds of reasons someone might not fit here e.g. being a lib/conservative, not being interested in fediverse, not being online etc.
After you realized you were trans, how long did it take for you to act on it?
Shouldn’t there be an option for “not trans”? “Have not yet acted” isn’t exactly the same thing. Unless you are trying to make a political point ala “not yet disabled”…?

if you say no there are further questions to specify

good point, this was a question added by someone else and I had to interpret it. i’ll add ‘trans or gender diverse’ to the question. cis people cannot see this question.
Ah I see now how it works. Thanks

I’m cisThe crazy thing is that part of me always knew my whole life. But because there wasn’t a word for it I just saw it as something to suppress and ignore.
Same! And for me, “when did you start to transition” is a difficult question to answer. Because I started and then repressed it again, a few times before it finally stuck.
Totally. I’ve always felt somewhat of a gender non-conforming person, so I was never 100% performing my assigned gender at birth, but it was not until very recently where I found the resources and vocabulary for me to realize I’m not cis, so, to me the time line is backwards? Idk.
me checking both “Binary” and “Non-Binary” because I’m an enby but I’m also literally just a girl
Literally me
this is the dialectic in motion
Holy shit same though
valid
I actually did exactly the same thing! I’m still figuring myself out tbh
preview of how its going so far
146 of us are getting sent to the camps
They could simply transition and join us in the gender mines!
Can we each bring a commander deck?
fuck no. We’re playing the only real format: Pauper
we gotta get to crackin’ if we wanna flip that plurality
Easiest test I’ve ever taken
Some “Yes/No” questions seem kinda gray to me, but I still answered them to the best of my ability.
Could you explain which questions specifically?
“Do you think Hexbear has an inclusive atmosphere towards transgender/gender diverse people?”
This one especially stood out to me, but I could see other Hexbears having their own issues with other questions. It’s definitely mostly on the side of “Yes” for me, but y’know, I guess in a site with a lot of cis people, I shouldn’t expect myself to not have at least a slight degree of hesitation with just a flat-out “Yes.” I myself have a lot of skepticism with cis people, especially white cis people, so I think it’s my paranoia really. My internalized transphobia makes it hard to believe in “true” trans inclusivity in a way.
It’s kind of me being nitpicky, overall.
it seems welcoming to me, especially compared to the rest of the internet, but the bigots don’t know or care about agender people so idk what exclusion would look like other than some bizarre terfy denialism that wouldn’t fly here.
I didn’t study but I think I aced it
ooh we finally found a way to do surveys that isn’t
Yeah this site is pretty rad got some recommendations for it
I think the latter part of this survey is just bad.
- Asking “at what age did you begin transition?” before any other timeline questions puts the importance and emphasis on actions taken instead of starting with self acceptance. This feels like framing I’d see from people that are less knowledgeable of the trans experience as a whole, which I know isn’t the case of the people who put this together.
- The bigger issue is the follow up question, “after you realized you were trans/gender diverse, how long did it take for you to begin to act on it?” The entire self acceptance moment of realizing you were trans is an after thought to “how long did it take to do something about it?” At no point are we asked about the first big moment in someone’s transition, only relative to what many people wrongly assume is the start of a transition.
The combination of these questions in this order and nothing about the beginning of the journey is really unfortunate. I filled out the survey up until that point, but didn’t feel like continuing after that. I know there’s only so much that can be asked, but I don’t think the way this was formatted was an issue with not having enough room for questions or overloading a survey.
Some of the mismash of questions might be more a result of requests by other users and the order may simply be in order they were requested or something like that. I wouldn’t put to much analysis into that kind of thing.

imo beginning transition is a process, yeah. and it can be different per person. some people have a harder start and some people have a fuzzier start (and is why i put an age range). thing is someone wanted to see what people said to this question so i tried to phrase it as well as possible, i felt like the survey was kinda long already and alternatives to this question means writing like 3 or so extra questions i think

It’s not nearly long enough. It should be 50 questions minimum
gender is a test and if you get it wrong you will not gain entry into college
BUT I WAS TOLD THAT’S WHERE GIRLS GO TO GET MORE KNOWLEDGE!!!
