    after you realized you were trans/gender diverse, how long did it take for you to begin to act on it?

    the earliest answer is less than a year? I was doing shit about it after like a week

      That was a hard one for me because the realization was so gradual and it took me years to fully integrate the belief that I was trans into my conscious mind even though it was sitting there

    I think the latter part of this survey is just bad.

    • Asking “at what age did you begin transition?” before any other timeline questions puts the importance and emphasis on actions taken instead of starting with self acceptance. This feels like framing I’d see from people that are less knowledgeable of the trans experience as a whole, which I know isn’t the case of the people who put this together.
    • The bigger issue is the follow up question, “after you realized you were trans/gender diverse, how long did it take for you to begin to act on it?” The entire self acceptance moment of realizing you were trans is an after thought to “how long did it take to do something about it?” At no point are we asked about the first big moment in someone’s transition, only relative to what many people wrongly assume is the start of a transition.

    The combination of these questions in this order and nothing about the beginning of the journey is really unfortunate. I filled out the survey up until that point, but didn’t feel like continuing after that. I know there’s only so much that can be asked, but I don’t think the way this was formatted was an issue with not having enough room for questions or overloading a survey.

    Some “Yes/No” questions seem kinda gray to me, but I still answered them to the best of my ability.

    2 questions:

    Would you recommend Hexbear to any of your transgender/gender diverse friends that do not visit Hexbear?

    Is it a general question about hexbear or specifically in regards to the trans/gender diverse atmosphere? There are all kinds of reasons someone might not fit here e.g. being a lib/conservative, not being interested in fediverse, not being online etc.

    After you realized you were trans, how long did it take for you to act on it?

    Shouldn’t there be an option for “not trans”? “Have not yet acted” isn’t exactly the same thing. Unless you are trying to make a political point ala “not yet disabled”…?

      if you say no there are further questions to specify

      good point, this was a question added by someone else and I had to interpret it. i’ll add ‘trans or gender diverse’ to the question. cis people cannot see this question.
