@Fuego @masklayer ya

tho i worry about you getting in trouble if this data is gonna go into a db or system that doesn't allow for values other than the ones on the form...

@Fuego @bea @masklayer My partner used to have this problem doing stats on a psych research team. No one liked the gender options, but if she'd changed the forms without going through a multi-year review process she'd've been fired, so :/

@cute_weeds @masklayer @Fuego last time i had to fill out a form with M and F checkboxes i drew a curvy arrow from the M to the F and just left it at that

nobody said anything

@bea @cute_weeds @masklayer @Fuego I've done this! Using blood red or burnt orange ink makes it a bit attention grabbing though
