Turn's out being from a single parent family and dissatisfied with my sex roles gives me a medium/high risk...

So many family questions! What do they have to do with anything? If you were raised by a single mum for example, does it make you more likely to be trans

Medium to high risk of GID...

I ticked "no" for every single question specifically relating to trans issues. I am straight, happily married. However I have an alcoholic father, history of depression, I'm an introvert, blah blah blah. AFAI can see most of the "positive indicators" I ticked relate to mental health & family situation as a child. So... the counsellor I saw as a teenager would now be referring me for suspected GID because I had depression & a father who hit me when I got in the way of the drinks cabinet? Great.

That's a point - I thought many trans activists were now arguing that trans genderism is inherent, that a person is born with it? Why all the questions about family situation? If, however, it's down to family situation, presumably that means it's a stress response & would respond to therapy / counselling? Not surgery?

Around the time of the original Spartacus threads (a couple of years ago) someone posted a link to a similar test. Does anyone remember it?

I CBA with this one if it even thinks 'Interests of the Opposite Gender' is a thing. The other one was a load of gender stereotypical bollocks ... IIRC nearly everyone came out as some sort of manly on account of not being afraid of a bit of maths

Total load of shite. It's a classic lead tripwire. Don't be surprised if you clicked through and now start seeing ads for therapists, counselling etc.

This is broad cast-your-net marketing for a shabby collection of therapists who are very much not specialist. If you look at any of their 200 odd "self-tests" they are equally ridiculous.

I really wouldn't read too much into it. You could find similarly awful quiz style tests on any topic you like. No one with an ounce of sense gives them a second thought, and the only objective is to grab up a few highly priced sessions with therapists who are too crap or too lazy to build a client base in more legitimate ways.

Mmm, I do get that Dandy but teenagers struggling with their sense of self aren't renowned for having more than an ounce of sense. Presumably there are plenty of vulnerable people out there who DO act on these quizzes, otherwise the marketers wouldn't bother.

I'm Medium Risk. I suspect any feminist answering these questions is likely to be at risk using their criteria.

I got a nasty feeling about all those questions about single parents, absent fathers, etc. It's exactly the same way of looking at gender that's applied to sexual orientation by Evangelical Christians. They taught - still do - that being gay was caused by problems boys had with their fathers and male role models. Sinister non scientific, irresponsible stuff.

That's very true Clown, and I'd love to see them all shut down. This particular one is US based and I think their regulator you bodies on therapy and counselling have even fewer teeth the the UK does.

I despise organisations that take advantage of gullibility or weakness, no matter what groups they do it to. They usually don't discriminate who they will try to manipulate, and this lot are a perfect example of trying every weak spot they can think of to see which one sticks.

The answers given indicate a Low Risk of Gender Identity Disorder

That is what I got too but you omitted the caveat

but talking to a licensed professional is the only way to be sure, and is the best way to help you resolve any issues you are going through

And I am according to my husband the most girly girl he's ever met (and no he wasn't being patronising- it was a jokey response to my horror at something to do with gender neutral clothes)

Wow shite like this is still going I have not seen one of these since the 90s usually one of the questions is basically are you trans lol

I think the family questions are to groom unhappy teenagers. It's a clear recruitment tactic to the cult.

The family questions were so loaded

" did you come from a broken home". I was brought up by twice divorced mother and my grandfather and I'm sure I was supposed to answer "yes" but there was nothing broken about it.

Medium to high risk. Hilarious!

I'm stuck on question 1: "Do you like wearing the opposite sex’s clothes, but would be embarrassed if anyone were to see you?"

I got stuck on that one but for a different reason. It is impossible results for me to answer because of the 2 separate parts.

^Do you like wearing the opposite sex’s clothes?", No, I never wear the opposite sex's clothes and I'd hate it.

but would be embarrassed if anyone were to see you? well yes, I would be uncomfortable and embarrassed in masculine.

So what should my correct answer be?

Medium to high risk too. I work in IT, do DIY and used to repair my bike and cars. This is using outdated stereotypes and is pure nonsense.

Erm Lass - what do you define the 'opposite sex's' clothes.

If we're talking 'male sterotypical clothes', what are they?

Jeans?

T-shirts?

Trainers?

Brogues?

Trousers?

Shirts?

I'm struggling to think of male-bodied stereotypical clothes that most of us would shudder to wear - other than maybe a three-piece suit, though I've seen some amazing females rocking that look, but still very clearly females!

What strict sex-stereotypical clothes are you being confined to, in that you'd 'hate' wearing the opposite-sex's clothes.

AornisHades

1)Do you like wearing the opposite sex’s clothes, but would be embarrassed if anyone were to see you?

How do I answer that one? Yes I wear comfy clothes from the men's department. Am I embarrased? No

I see several posters were stumped by that question although for the other way round than for my answers.

All the questions about background remind me of the homophobic beliefs and myths that were trotted out so frequently back in the 80s, you know that gay men were gay because of absent fathers and overbearing mothers, and lesbians were lesbians due to molestation.

I don't own any of those. Those are gender neutral clothes. I don't wear anything which is gender neutral.

Sorry I didn't mean to copy and paste the whole thread !

Thanks for your response Lass
So you own no jeans, trainers, t-shirts, trousers, as they are gender neutral?

That's new to me. I just thought they were unisex stuff.

As I own, and spend most of my time in those sort of clothes, would you class me as gender neutral? (I class myself as female, in every way, so it's interesting how others would read me!)

So what would you class a gender-women clothes only? Do you purposely only dress in dresses, skirts, high heels/ballet pumps, blouses, to ensure you're not wearing anything that's gender neutral?

Do you exercise? How do you escape gender neutral clothing in that instance.

I'm genuinely curious.

Lass sorry for pursuing your line of posting but...no trousers? Ever? Because they might be considered gender neutral?

I don’t own any jeans or trousers. Or shorts or jumpsuits! I only wear skirts and dresses. I dress in a very feminine way - make up, flowers in my hair, pink etc. I don’t think that is what makes me a woman though and I have no innate gender identity. I expect this test would find me non-trans. I still think it’s bollocks though! My femininity doesn’t define my sex, my body does.

Thanks for your response Lass

Gender neutral / unisex - same difference. I wouldn't wear anything unisex.

So what would you class a gender-women clothes only? Do you purposely only dress in dresses, skirts, high heels/ballet pumps, blouses, to ensure you're not wearing anything that's gender neutral?

I don't often wear high heels but yes to everything else on that list. I don't have any clothes which a boy or a man would wear

Do you exercise? How do you escape gender neutral clothing in that instance

Nothing apart from lots of walking. You can walk wearing and flat boots or shoes you know.

Lass sorry for pursuing your line of posting but...no trousers? Ever? Because they might be considered gender neutral?

I wore jeans occasionally from mid teens to early 20s and for a very brief period occasionally wore tailored trousers to work. I don't like trousers. I don't find them comfortable.

I haven't owned jeans in over 30 years and tailored trousers in over 25. I never liked wearing them.
