Let's not let this devolve into another gender argument bullshit thread. Please.

Maybe add weight as well as height, get a BMI up in there :)

Also, maybe wages per week in dollars, although I am not sure whether everyone would be comfortable sharing that data we could learn a lot about the economic circumstance of the average bay12 users.

The problem with wages/week in dollars is that conversion rates fluctuate constantly. So unless the value is already in dollars or the conversion rate at the time the information was submitted is included, it could lead to a few problems.

Just do a conversion into CPI adjust American dollars?

As a compromise, I edited q16 to read:

Q. What is your gender?
A. (cis) male, (cis) female, trans male, trans female, other

other will potentially be a text box if I can make google forms do that.

As for the mental disorder question, I believe that

Quote
a condition for which psychiatric or psychological treatment is typically recommended

is, in short, a mental disorder. :P

I've added weight because BMI is interesting!

I've added the wage question as simply dollars per month. Even if conversion rates fluctuate and even though not everyone lives in a nation where the market prices are similar, the last survey showed that the vast majority of Bay12 users live in the United States or Canada. Since I know what the question asker's nationality is, if needed I could adjust for actual purchasing power, etc.

Another reminder that the survey will be finalized Saturday KST!

Will there be a link here? It's easier to just keep watching this thread instead of trying to remember to look for another one on Saturday.

Does the "neither" option in q30 imply "no preference, regardless of like or dislike" or "impartial hatred of all filthy fuzzballs"?

If it's the latter, I am cry. ;~;

IMPARTIAL HATRED OF ALL FUZZBALLS

I changed it to "like both" and "dislike both"

For the religion question, consider looking at OW's poll in the religion thread. I think it pretty comprehensively covers the options, and there are a handful that you don't have there.

The mushrooms are extremely important, yes.

But really, it's the things like wicca and animism.

Maybe a question on learning difficulties/disabilities might be a good idea. You know, dyslexia, ADHD, ADD and so on. As a person with a learning difficulty I don't mind which term you use (in my case it's more of a difficulty than a disability), but I don't know if anyone here feels strongly about it though so it may be wise to put it to public debate.
