EDIT: Don’t vote on this poll if you don’t interact/lurk in this community somewhat regularly. This survey is for those people.
Hi everyone,
I made a survey to better gauge the demographics of this community. I don’t have any reason to, just doing it out of curiosity.
I’m glad that everyone felt free to talk about it in detail and have some good discussion on my previous post, but it made it hard to count all those comments up. Someone suggested that I do this to get more accurate results.
The poll ends on April 6th at 11pm. I’ll post the results when it’s over. You can also view the live results of the poll on the website.
Might make a future one for sexuality. Data is fun, what can I say.
What are your predictions for this poll?
Haha. All the cis men.
I wonder what they would all choose a year from now 😘
I questioned and came to the conclusion that I’m quite happy where I am.
My partner is nonbinary though, so I lurk in these sorts of spaces so I have at least a little bit of community awareness and understanding.
Well that makes me happy to know there are allies like you ❤️
Eh, I just browse ‘all’. Would I chose to be a woman if I had the chance at birth? Likely yes. But I quite like my ding-dong either way 😄
I am however quite jealous of women’s fashion, the big scarfs, big wooly jumpers, and flowy textiles.
Oh boy.
Only thing I will say is many trans woman also have the same sentiment about their original bits.
Nothing but love ✌️
Fwiw, the impression I get is that there are a goodly number of cis folks here, with the intent of being supportive and learning more. I know that’s why I’m here. It makes me happy when I see people that have a difficulty in their lives find a path to their own happiness.
I may not like every trans person I’ve ever met, but I love trans people.
Totally agree and my comment was completely in jest ❤️
Honestly it’s refreshing to see support. Especially on the Internet where there is so much hate for us…
So thanks for speaking up and letting us know you exist 🥰
I like to keep aware of trans issues, discourse and general stuff so I can be more supportive of my boyfriend. Also if I see someone struggling with something he conquered, I’d love to be able to pass on anything that can help.
I love him dearly and I kinda see me trying to keep aware of trans stuff in my social media circles similar to him keeping aware of Jewish stuff in his social media circles.
Also, queer solidarity. ✊️
That is so beautiful of you. Thank you for being such a great support for your boyfriend and the community as a whole :)
I wonder if that’s people seeing the poll link show up in global and then voting without reading the post text.
You’re right. When I first commented, it was a small majority so I figured they were all lurkers. Realized the poll leaked to all. Lol
Voted as cis man, have questioned but still haven’t really felt too out of place how I am. I did feel extremely distressed probably outside of how a normal person would react when I noticed I was getting male pattern baldness however
Does your emphasis of the word “male” imply that you are uncertain and still questioning? Just curious.
I didn’t think I was until that happened and I think the visceral reaction has made me keep questioning a bit
Nothing wrong with questioning. Everybody goes through it to some extent. Most people think for a short amount of time and realize they are happy with who they are and how they perceive themselves.
Others take longer to come to the same conclusion or even to realize something else about themselves.
Just wanted to mention that if you’re feeling any guilt or shame for questioning (I did in the beginning) please know that it’s perfectly normal and there are tons of people who are there to support you ❤️
So try and enjoy your journey where ever you end up. It means you are growing and building a better understanding of yourself ❤️
