A "Simple" question for all.

[heatherrose]

Think about it and answer honestly.
Please stand by for future comment. 

[Cindy]

Mentally yes; Physically no.

Of course this can be reversed

Great job, six members voted,
thirty-one hundred and sixty-six, to go.

[Osiris]

Yes. I am who I am and no matter what impression my body may give others. Transition is just the physical changes needed to reflect the inner person.

[Nicky]

I don't think I choose my gender, but I am it.

[Ellieka]

I chose "yes I am" but like others said It' really wasn't a choice per say. I was a choice in that I chose to transition. I could have chosen not to transition but the consequences would have been detrimental to my well being. I was bone mentally female but got tagged as a male... drat! 

[heatherrose]

Only thirty-one hundred and fifty-nine more to go.

[Cindy]

Hmm
Heather rose is counting. How many fingers does this girl have!! 

Or are they toes

How are you going?

Cindy

[Nero]

I voted 'yes, I am'. But as stated by previous posters, I don't believe one chooses a gender.

[Jay]

Not yet but I will be as soon as I...

I will be finally all male once my hysto and bottom surgery has been completed.. so a few more years yet.

Jay

[Miniar]

I voted 'yes, I am'. But as stated by previous posters, I don't believe one chooses a gender.

Me three.

[heatherrose]

Thirty-one hundred and fifty-eight left.

Our numbers increased by two today

How many fingers does this girl have!!

I have twenty-one digits which I can use for calculation. One of which,
is pretty much useless excepting for that purpose.
What I'll do after SRS, I don't know.

[Cindy]

I think they extra didget allows up to 110 using basic (decimal) counting. I suppose that raise the question of why genetic males have the the rudiment to count and record to 110 and genetic females don't? Obviously to follow gridiron.

mmm

Ha Think about it

time for bed

Wow, great poll.   I love it when transpeople flip out about being told that instead of being men/women they've decided to be women/men.  I love it even more when transpeople reinforce the bull->-bleeped-<- notion that your gender is a choice.

[thestory]

Chose "I am" despite it not being a choice and that I am pre T. I don't think gender should be confused with biological sex. So in short... Yes, I am the gender I am and am happy with. No, my body does not reflect it.

[heatherrose]

I love it when people flip out, without actually considering the question. Now, to quote Steven
the mad Irishman, "Don't change the subject, just answer the [flowery] question".

Thirty-one hundred and fifty-nine more to go.
Two more people joined today.

[Mister]

I'd love to, but there's no option for 'Gender is not a choice.'

[Jeatyn]

I swear this is a trick question

[heatherrose]

I'd love to, but there's no option for 'Gender is not a choice.'

The reason for a poll is to gather information for the pollster and possibly make people think.
The question wasn't, "Is gender a choice?" Of course, that is another option,
you can argue over the phrasing of the question rather then actually think about what it is asking.

For those who voted: "Not yet but I will as soon as I...".
At what point do you feel that you will be able to say, "I am the gender I choose to be."?

For those who voted: "Yes, I am!".
Does your gender now match the sex which you were born in?

[Miniar]

No, my sex does not match my gender.
