What Does 'Transgender' Tell You About Me? Nothing!

I'm a big taker of LGBT surveys and participant in LGBT research studies because I think that "trans voices" need to be heard, if possible.

But although I've complained before that multiple choice is not trans friendly, I think that, after 13 years of survey-taking and research-participating, it did not truly dawn on me until now how useless the term "transgender" is, by itself, in data collection.
