trans guy, 29. gotta-go-fast enthusiast and other personality traits in theory, probably,
This is a reminder post for the folks like me who see posts about doing something important and then put it off for three weeks: it's been three weeks. The survey ends on November 21st. People say that this survey is important:
The survey says it takes about an hour on average (30-90 minutes), so make sure to set aside some time for it! 
i simultaneously want to but also think that my autistic-ass brain would fucking implode if i tried to answer questions for an hour and a half strait
especially given the fact that it doesn't really allow you to take meaningful breaks or accommodate for mis-clicks, because if you close the tab you lose all your work
i just really wish they had considered neurodivergent and disabled people like me better when designing the survey
obviously YMMV but, yeahhhhhhh i had to sorta chew through this in parts. i reached a point where the survey told me i was halfway done and it was like.... ohhhhhhh okay, i need to get up, because i thought we were close to done.
there are back buttons within the survey controls so you are able to re-do your answers and it's not totally locked in. not every page has them but it's pretty frequent. the hardest part IMO is definitely like, having the tab open for however long until you're done
the data is incredibly important for trans related advocacy, services, legislation, science and more.

i'm sorta nervous about how much personal information it's asking for, and i think it's weird that they make you generate your own ID out of that stuff
I simply cannot and will not take any survey that asks for, stores, and distributes this much identifying information. There's really no reason to generate the IDs out of identifying information; even if it's trustworthy, which they make no guarantee of by not disclosing how privacy is maintained, doing it like this is still going to skew the dataset.
This took a very long time but thanks for letting me know it exists!
it takes so fucking long and they don't even have the courtesy of using all of my personal information to manage a session!!! whaddahell!!
