If there were a test that could determine your gender, would you take it?

Yes, out of interest, but it wouldn't change the gender with which I identify
Yes, it would prove that I wasn't choosing my gender
Yes, it would help me decide whether I should fully transition
No, I don't need a test to tell me my gender
No, I may not be able to handle any unforseen results
No, I wouldn't want this kind of test on my records
Yes (other reasons)
No (other reasons)
Don't know
This poll sucks big time

Okay, I'll restore it. But I want everyone to keep in mind though that I'm not saying I don't believe there's a biological cause - just that I don't know. These are just ideas. I think marginalized groups like ours and the LGBT end up getting forced into claiming a biological cause or that we 'can't help it'. And I understand why because of the persecution. But then we're all kind of bound to this narrative.

For instance, identifying as gay is pretty much a new thing. But there are a lot of cultures for which sexual contact with the same sex was the norm. Obviously, there's a huge social component there. So I guess what I'm wondering is if there were a test for homosexuality like the one for gender we're discussing, how many homosexuals would fail it? And would that matter?

I take them for fun as I don't need to be told that I belong to the female gender. Also take tests that ask are you a sissy. I always end up being a sissy as the questions are quite obvious:
1. Do you wear dresses
2. wear makeup
3 wear lingerie
4. prefer girl talk with women
5 like to wear jewelry
6. like men
7. doing women's work
8. above all wish I had been born cis female (not asked on sissy tests)
