(Yes it's a trans thread! Don't click if you're gonna whinge) The SAGE test.

[BeyondASpecialSnowflake]

Having been directed to this test by someone who has come to mn to enlighten us all as to how we are all wrong to think "trans are in league with the devil" (wtf?!) and how "yes gender is not provable, but neither is God and we all believe he is real" (again wtf?!), I decided to have a go. Apparently it is used as part of the diagnostic procedure, though this person does seem to be posting from Amercia.

I will warn you, it is a truly awfully written and unbelievably biased piece of bullshit, featuring spelling mistakes, leading questions, and at one point the wrong "there"!! It didn't take too long though, and thanks to it I now know that I am a man. There are issues with some questions raised that can easily be 'answered' by my asd, so it's a tad biased there too.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else fancied having a go at it too...

ANALYSIS:
Male to Female Crossdresser
NOTES:

You are in a statistical minority as a anallophilic crossdresser. Most crossdressers are heterosexual. Your motivation for crossdressing may be driven by the undirected nature of your sexuality, as a way to more fully explore the Female gender role.

How has DH got "appearance - quite masculine" and I have "appearance - masculine" when he is the only one of us who can pass as a bloke!?

ANALYSIS:
Female to Male Crossdresser

...my appearance is feminine but I'm a crossdresser? Oh well. Must be because I never wear high heels and occasionally wear clothes designed for men. Is this proof enough that I'm not 'cis,' I wonder?

Lots of the questions were awful but I took particular note of the fact that there was no option for 'I don't shave.' I had to pick face, since if I did start growing a beard I'd do something to remove it.

[ExitPursuedBySpartacus]

Sorry I gave up. The questions made me feel a bit queasy.

[butterfliesandzebras]

Can't cut and paste but

-500, overall androgynous.

Appearance Feminine

Brain processess Masculine

Socialise Androgynous

Normal doubts

Born Female

ANALYSIS:
Female to Male possible Transsexual

My analysis: uh, no. So many of the questions were so badly written I couldn't even pick an answer (because I enjoy carpentry and think it's for everyone, not just men, for example).

The fact that I like science and maths and dislike hugs with strangers does not mean I have 'man-brain', it means I'm a woman with a woman's brain who likes science and maths and dislikes hugs with strangers.

I find it horrific anyone would write this sexist peice of twaddle, let alone that someone else would think it actually aided their argument that you can scientifically tell if someone has a male or female brain.

[SecretSpy]

Utter bollocks. When was it written??
I got androgynous. - 385. Female to male cross dresser.

I can only assume that's because I didn't simper about easy maths and disinterested in giggling that girls like me can't park.

Where was the not really interested in removing hair option? Would I be more masculine if I choose steak in the restaurant? My veggie DH would be amused.

I'm a woman.

What a lot of narrow, selective, sexist, gender straightjacketed bullshit those questions were....!

[TheFallenMadonna]

I am apparently androgenous. Pretty sure it's because I said I was good at Maths - they ask about that a lot.

[Soubriquet]

How many fucking questions?!!

Finding a lot of these questions sexist with their answers. It's obvious you would have a masculine personality if you can't identify people's emotions from a picture

[TheFallenMadonna]

My appearance is not in fact androgenous, although I do have short hair...

Pretty sure it's a "says she's good at Maths, but also considerate of other people's feelings = somewhere in the middle."

I feel cross, actually.

[Soubriquet]

What's the betting if you clicked on the last answer of every question you would get feminine?

[BeyondASpecialSnowflake]

Just looking at the answers, this analysis might require something a bit more clever than an iPad...

Each question has an "hyper masculine">neutral>"hyper feminine" response. A few random ones that caught my eye...

Watching sport > no tv > watching movies
(I consider myself to be) Clever > don't know > pretty
(Restaurant choice) Steak > fish > salad
(Drink) Hard liquor > water > something with a fucking umbrella in it

That's what we are. Pretty things that watch movies, eat salad and drink (also pretty) cocktails.

[BeyondASpecialSnowflake]

Also, I'd guess it was written by a man. On the high heels question, the "feminine" answer was pumps. I guess that they don't actually mean pumps, or it doesn't match the question. Pumps are flat.

[TheFallenMadonna]

Where was the wine option on the drink one??

It was also very USA based.

How would you prefer to be put to death? Blown to bits or poisoned???

[BeyondASpecialSnowflake]

Blown to bits. I'm a man, we like things that go boom.
🙄

[Soubriquet]

I would prefer to be shot tbh

Hope it's quick..

Still answering the questions
