I've asked the question before, and the vast majority of transgender/gender-variant people have told me they do not want a third official gender designation, as in M (male), F (female) and T (transgender). But times do change, and I am curious if transgender people have changed their minds about this.

So, this is a poll for people who identify as transgender (not transsexual) or gender-variant, that is, people who do not want to always be considered females or males.
