"Cis, he/him"
"thanks I think we are done here"
o-ok
Lmao I had no idea there were more questions.
Hath thou considered adding pronouns to engage with additional questions? 
Wow, you think I will voluntarily put myself on the cis list to be marked for execution when Commiela steals the election?
Self-reporting cisness to the nearest political comissar is mandatory, failure to comply may be weighed against you.
Its ok man, i listed myself as cis in the last survey and nothing hap
So you didn't notice eh?
Interesting.
yes, then you'll be revived back up by juche necromancy, then executed again
And then you'll be revived again and realize how wise it is to be trans 🙌
Fuck it. Whatever helps me leave this pitiful existence faster. I'm super mega extra cis if that bumps me up in the list.
you should mention if you check yes on "are you cisgender" there will be no other questions i thought my shit was broken at first lol

I didn't study but I think I aced it
god, things like this always confuse me. like yes i'm a cis woman, but i use he/him/she/her or hy/hym pronouns when i can (read: online or dnd), crossdress 24/7, have visable facial hair, and honestly i'd go on testosterone if it were free. i was looking at binders recently (because i had them recommended as a heavy duty sports bra and also the silhouettes are just nicer) and the only reason i didn't get one was that my measurements are weird. a lot of my mates keep saying that i should just become a man already and are "waiting for the gender drop" and new people assume i'm already transmasc or nb.
like despite the fact that i'm cis, i am apparently trans by a LOT of people's definitions. idk how i feel about that. it feels like people are trying to limit what woman are and are not allowed to be. there is NOTHING wrong with women who look like me or go into my field or reject the beauty industry or crossdress or date women or anything else. there isn't even anything """un-womanly""" about us, we just don't dignifiy the sexist society in which we live with a response.
but then again, the people who assume i'm trans or nb don't think for a second that they're reinforcing misogynistic ideas about womanhood, they're just trying to be nice
so yeah. idk. i am not by defintion trans in the slightest, but in practice it always seems like i am. sorry if i invalidated the results by classing myself as cis instead of "?????????" lol. i guess theres a reason people treat butches as trans-adjacent
(BUT hexbear is one of the only place i've ever got the idea i can say any thing remotely like this and not get instantly clowned on, so shout out to our trans comrades for making a space thats also cool with miscellaneous freaks lol)
There was a cis woman with a very full, luxurious beard who had a social media presence a while back and among other things she'd talk about what it was like being a woman with a beard and how that challenged and completely upended some people's notions of gender and sex.
And this also makes me think of an interview I saw with an Afghani cis man who didn't grow a beard and would wear a prosthetic beard to keep the Taliban fashion police off his back.
Folks do be policing gender, even when they're informed and trying to be supportive and well meaning.
me checking both "Binary" and "Non-Binary" because I'm an enby but I'm also literally just a girl
after you realized you were trans/gender diverse, how long did it take for you to begin to act on it?
the earliest answer is less than a year? I was doing shit about it after like a week
That was a hard one for me because the realization was so gradual and it took me years to fully integrate the belief that I was trans into my conscious mind even though it was sitting there
Remember to respond even if your cis
Im gonna be mad if this isnt a ploy to identify and ban all cis users
I think the latter part of this survey is just bad.
The combination of these questions in this order and nothing about the beginning of the journey is really unfortunate. I filled out the survey up until that point, but didn't feel like continuing after that. I know there's only so much that can be asked, but I don't think the way this was formatted was an issue with not having enough room for questions or overloading a survey.
Asking "at what age did you begin transition?" before any other timeline questions puts the importance and emphasis on actions taken instead of starting with self acceptance. This feels like framing I'd see from people that are less knowledgeable of the trans experience as a whole, which I know isn't the case of the people who put this together.
imo beginning transition is a process, yeah. and it can be different per person. some people have a harder start and some people have a fuzzier start (and is why i put an age range). thing is someone wanted to see what people said to this question so i tried to phrase it as well as possible, i felt like the survey was kinda long already and alternatives to this question means writing like 3 or so extra questions i think

It's not nearly long enough. It should be 50 questions minimum
gender is a test and if you get it wrong you will not gain entry into college 
BUT I WAS TOLD THAT'S WHERE GIRLS GO TO GET MORE KNOWLEDGE!!!
Easiest test I've ever taken
Okay, that's a hundred votes for Hillary Clinton from me. 
I’m cis
Some "Yes/No" questions seem kinda gray to me, but I still answered them to the best of my ability.
us selecting binary non-binary agender and other because we are plural (it can be very confusing)
2 questions:
Would you recommend Hexbear to any of your transgender/gender diverse friends that do not visit Hexbear?
Is it a general question about hexbear or specifically in regards to the trans/gender diverse atmosphere? There are all kinds of reasons someone might not fit here e.g. being a lib/conservative, not being interested in fediverse, not being online etc.
After you realized you were trans, how long did it take for you to act on it?
Shouldn't there be an option for "not trans"? "Have not yet acted" isn't exactly the same thing. Unless you are trying to make a political point ala "not yet disabled"....?

if you say no there are further questions to specify

good point, this was a question added by someone else and I had to interpret it. i'll add 'trans or gender diverse' to the question. cis people cannot see this question.
The crazy thing is that part of me always knew my whole life. But because there wasn't a word for it I just saw it as something to suppress and ignore.
Same! And for me, "when did you start to transition" is a difficult question to answer. Because I started and then repressed it again, a few times before it finally stuck.
very gender
