Question 'what sex were you assigned at birth?'

Gah!

I might feel intersex in a bit and point out that "feeling intersex" is ridiculously offensive. Hmm

Feeling disabled is also on there, but at least that aligns with the social model of disability, so it has some background.

I've done it again. I thought of myself as female only.

Conclusion is I'm constantly under scrutiny regarding my appearance and behaviour. Which is true.

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 24/07/2017 12:24

I have multiple gender identities, so each of them will have to complete this...

Elendon · 24/07/2017 12:07

I've completed the survey but I still don't understand why sexual orientation is aligned with being trans.

Identifying as 'intersex' is an insult to those born intersex (which is complex, no one is actually in the middle, or inbetween).

I did the same Quentin and agree that the theory is ludicrous. I am apparently agender because I don't have a gender identity. Who knew?

QuentinSummers · 24/07/2017 09:20

I've done it. Because I ticked "agender" in the gender identity box I got to answer all the trans questions. It just goes to show how absolutely ridiculous trans theory is. I'm just female with no gender identity.

Btw, this isn't a consultation on gender recognition, it's a survey on experiences of people who 'are LGBT' living in the UK

SerendipityFelix · 24/07/2017 08:02

How can they prevent people from answering more than once? It didn't ask for any kind of id/email or anything

StealthPolarBear · 24/07/2017 08:01

It worries me that this is restricted to a small group of people. Surely everyone should get to have their say.

SylviaPoe · 24/07/2017 07:58

It only asks the assigned at birth question if you don't identify as some kind of trans identity.

FFS I CANT BELIEVE IT HAS COME TO THIS.

Absolutely. I am so sad for my daughters.

SerendipityFelix · 23/07/2017 23:15

I didn't see the 'assigned at birth' question? I thought it said 'what do you identify as' to which I answered 'other' and stated I don't 'identify as' anything, I am a woman by virtue of being an adult human female and I reject the concept of gender.

SerendipityFelix · 23/07/2017 23:00

Keeps referring to 'being LGBT' as well. As if 'LGBT' is a single status.

LaSourciere · 23/07/2017 22:56

Just completed it.

'Do you identify as intersex?'

How can you identify as intersex?!?!? It's a bloody medical condition. It's like saying do you identify as cerebral palsy or something (first congenital condition I could think of)
