Those poll options

I blame Reddit

I have no plans and identify as a male 15 foot tall bio mechanoid.

Yeah, this is irritating me too.

I don't think copy-pasting a big list of gender-related terms without making an effort to understand what those terms mean is very respectful.

For instance, why is asexual in there? That's a sexual as opposed to a gender identity. Similarly, intersex describes physical characteristics, not gender identity. A lot of gender identities are listed multiple times under slightly different names as well.

I'm not genderqueer (and I feel ideally you should take queues from that community) but I think a poll on gender diversity should probably look a bit like this:
Which of the listed gender identities best describes you?
Woman, Man, Transwoman, Transman, Agender, Bigender, Genderfluid, Other

Alternatively, you could get a grip

And what you choose to get a grip on will help you vote in the poll.

I'm not offended I just think it's a bad poll and a stupid joke.

Here's a post that's more your speed:

haha attack helicopters guys

lol, I answered the question seriously without any jokes.

Doesnt get me all buttflustered that other people might find some of the names funny though.

I learned what a two spirit person was so in that sense the poll has been useful.


'useful' being used extremely lightly here

Genderqueers always wait their turn, and never push in?

Oops, my bad. Sorry for using the wrong word.

I am a man, with excruciating toothache.

I too googled two spirit person.

I've had a bloody great weekend so far. Long may it continue .

I'll identify as all of them because variety is the spice of life .
