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

I guess a lot of Italian type names end in -o for males, and -a for females, and that pattern holds somewhat true for other European names enough that it's statistically likely that o people are male and a people are female.

I'm an elf. Which, conveniently also is a gender identity, elves usually being androgynous.
So I suppose I am somewhat trans? Or, like, non-binary?

It's bizarre, I just cannot work out how a middle name can have any bearing on which gender someone thinks they are

Fucks sake, is this test actually used seriously by people?! I can't see how it's any more useful than using something like this

Fair point - but if we're going to actually answer it, surely the answer is..they don't meet because that would be a train crash?

Which is pretty much what that test is

"Ah, but it doesn't ask "where, in terms of fraction of the journey, will they meet?", it asks "when will they meet?""

Ah, but it doesn't ask "where, in terms of fraction of the journey, will they meet?", it asks "when will they meet?"

Basically, if d1 is the distance the first train travels, d2 is the distance the second train travels, and the time taken is t, you have 2 equations in 3 unknowns:

d1=45t
d2=80t

The most you can establish is that d1/d2=45/80 (or if you do a bit of re-arrangement, that the total distance D=125t)

It really is an ill-posed question

I have a question!

Because I got androgynous & possible gender conflict (ANALYSIS: female to male cross dresser), does that mean I now don't have the mythical 'cis-privilege'??

So next time I am told to 'check my cis-privilege', I don't have to because I'm (apparently) gender-conflicted??
(Even though I didn't think I was before I did the test...!)

It crashed when I tried on my ipod just now. Want to try it later to see if I confuse it.

Is female 'cross dressing' a thing? Do they just mean wearing perfectly normal practical women's clothes by any chance?

"What's the train question supposed to show? You can't answer it without knowing the distance between NY and Baltimore, "

You don't need to answer it though - it's there (IMO) to see if you go, eek, maths, I can't do that, I'm a girl or of course I can do it even without all the relevant information because I'm so manly...or something.

What a weird test. Going to do a stream-of-consciousness commentary on it as I go along.

What's the train question supposed to show? You can't answer it without knowing the distance between NY and Baltimore, but there is no "this question is ill-posed" option. The questions are designed for men (and weird ones at that - doing the cleaning in a French maid's outfit? WTAF). How long would it take you to identify someone on the phone by their voice? Erm, surely you'd just ask, but that isn't an option (maybe it was written by a bloke who adheres to the gender stereotype that "men never ask for directions" - actually, delete the "maybe" - I just got to the parking a car question ). Aha - an equal ops weirdo - test writer thinks one might get aroused by using power tools too. (Why, oh why, oh why is there no question about using power tools while wearing a French maid's outfit? He really missed a trick there...) Erm.. waking up with an erection? Excuse me, I don't have the equipment! Aroused by an ad for tampons... that'll be another WTAF moment from me then. Okay, lost patience at the breast feeding question which totally ignored the possibility that one might have... y'know... actually done so at some point!

"Shall I make a prediction, based on being shirt-haired, wearing jeans and loving physics, that that pile of horseshit would think I'm a boy?"

Well so far there's only 2 women...so possibly, but I have long hair and it thinks I'm lying about my sex, so God only knows, lol.

I hope liking soccer aka footie is the girlie girl option

*short-haired. I don't go as far as hair shirts. Not that much of a maaan.

I'm sorry, I just bailed out at the bloody stupid train problem, where they don't tell you what time either train started off (or whether they're on the same track).

DS is also particularly cross with that one.

Shall I make a prediction, based on being shirt-haired, wearing jeans and loving physics, that that pile of horseshit would think I'm a boy?

I found all the fetish/arousal questions rather interesting too, because I thought that contradicted the "born in the wrong body"/"ladybrain" argument.

The biggest pile of sexist inaccurate mansplaining transactivist bullshit I've ever read in my life.

Ah! Us fems better stick together

No, I am too, sobriquet.
