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.

Some of these questions require further elaboration or more diverse options than they were given.
Hath thou considered adding pronouns to engage with additional questions?
after you realized you were trans/gender diverse, how long did it take for you to begin to act on it?
the earliest answer is less than a year? I was doing shit about it after like a week
That was a hard one for me because the realization was so gradual and it took me years to fully integrate the belief that I was trans into my conscious mind even though it was sitting there
i mean, i knew i hated being cis when i was 14. I just very stubbornly refused to do anything about it
·1 hour agoSame, also 14. But I actually did something about it, I shaved my legs, I wore thigh highs, other shit I'm forgetting rn? but I didn't really integrate the belief that I was trans until just these last months.
sounds nicer than pouring myself a big bowl of Dysphori-O's in the morning and lying to myself that I like 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.

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
Some "Yes/No" questions seem kinda gray to me, but I still answered them to the best of my ability.
you should mention if you check yes on "are you cisgender" there will be no other questions i thought my shit was broken at first lol
The Gender SWAT team is in its way to your house the moment you click yes
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.
BUT I WAS TOLD THAT'S WHERE GIRLS GO TO GET MORE KNOWLEDGE!!!
