To think that 'Female' shouldn't be the 4th option in a list of 5 when being asked about gender?

[Shufflebumnessie]

I'm having a rubbish day and am in the midst of feeling annoyed about everything so I'm quite happy to be told I'm over reacting.
I've just completed a survey sent to me by Dominos pizza (following a recent order). At the end of the survey it asked for a few questions for 'classification purposes'. It then asked 'Please select your gender', the bit that really annoyed me was the the 'Female' option was 4th down the list of 5 options. Surely it should state male & female as the first two, and then the non-binary / third gender, Prefer to self describe, Prefer not to answer options?
I just feel angry that female has been relegated to 4th place. Obviously male was number 1 in the list !
Apologies if this isn't the right place to rant, it's just been one of those days.

I hear you.

I get annoyed when it's always male first and then female. So that would REALLY piss me off!

Male is default human. Female is some subhuman other.

Yep. Totally get it.

We are less than second. We fall below males who identify as whatever.

They probably wanted to put it 5th but were told not to be unreasonable 😖

Female is NOT a gender it refers to a sex class.

We are, however, always relegated to the bottom or near bottom if we are mentioned at all.

We must know our place.

There's never, ever, a 'I don't believe in gender identities' option, is there?

Gender is essentially sexist bollocks. They should be asking people their sex.

Yeah that would wind me up OP...

That is super annoying. Would piss me off hugely too.

Were the choices in alphabetical order?

I applied for a job and the only options were cis male or cis female

Transphobes! 😃

Presumably not as the first choice was male.

It annoys me not nearly as much as being asked my gender. I don't have a gender I have a sex.

I'm trying to think of 3 genders that appear alphabetically before F. So far I've got:

Agender?
Bigender?
??

Catgender? Dullgender? Elfgender?

Oh god I hope you didn't apply? I can't be dealing with my work right now it's all ridiculous. We changed our demographic survey to represent sex better but now there's been a round of interviews done with young people and surprise surprise there was a gender binary person. Although they were male. They worked in a children and care setting and he was male 50% of the time but gender non etc rest of the time. We interviewed a lot of people, from both sexes. Of course the gender non one was chosen to be the one to showcase in the draft report. Even though what he was saying was essentially same as all the others. Bah.

Edited to remove some identifying stuff just on off chance my work reads FWR!

Pathetic effort! you're not even trying! Look what you're leaving out!😄

1 Abimegender: Associated with being profound, deep, and infinite. The term abimegender may be used alone or in combination with other genders.
2 Adamas gender: A gender that is indefinable or indomitable. People identifying with this gender refuse to be categorized in any particular gender identity.
3 Aerogender: Also called evaisgender, this gender identity changes according to one’s surroundings
and so on and so on...

It has to be a piss-take.. hasn't it?😨

Thanks to a previous poster for this gem of an article - If I go back to check who it was, I'll probably loose this post, that often happens😠

Was it you, Ereshkigalangcleg?

Totally agree.
F for female and first.
If they do it based on the number of people who answer surveys, we should still be first.

Except perhaps for surveys on urinals!

What were the other options?

Dominos eh?

Perhaps they use the information to predict who might order which topping.

Which gender is likely to order pineapple on their pizza?

“3 Aerogender: Also called evaisgender, this gender identity changes according to one’s surroundings
and so on and so on...”

presumably that’s for those who identify as bubbly.

My brain just exploded

😂

Aromagender perhaps?

"Aromagender is a xenogender that is strictly related to scents, smells and odor. This can be related to the smell of flowers, perfume, and much more." '

It was 😂 there are more comprehensive ones but that was the best I could do this morning

I also want to know this.

1. Male
2. ?
3. ?
4. Female
5. ?

What on earth were 2 and 3?

Honestly, I think I would be sending them feedback and probably pushing the point that Female people probably have quite a lot of power when it comes to making decisions over where to buy food from.
