gender dysphoria survey! 

surveymonkey.com/r/Gender-Dysp

"During the survey, you will be asked to think about your experiences of gender dysphoria and provide examples of these feelings. You will also be presented with traditional measures of gender dysphoria and asked how well they capture, or fail to capture, your experiences. We hope to use this information to improve existing measures and the current understanding of dysphoria."

gender dysphoria survey! 

@mxsparks I'll be honest that sounds like it could be used to make an assessment screening and I want no part in that.

@starkatt @mxsparks I just finished taking it, and given that most of my answers were along the lines of "I do not fit the assumptions underlying this set of questions" I don't think I'd have been much help for that kind of thing anyway. :D

@starkatt @mxsparks @green I gave up after the third set of "this question assumes there are only two sexes in opposition, two genders in opposition, and each sex maps cleanly to a singular gender."

I've been writing comments to them about that. I think they're pulling most of this stuff from the DSM and other similar texts, which are severely outdated-- and thus why I think it's so important that a survey like this is being given.

A comment I've now started copying and pasting in my responses for "why you disagree with...":

"I am neither male nor female; gender is not binary and that description is predicated on binary gender."
