I’m confused. If you were male at birth and transitioned to female, can’t you just answer the “sex assigned at birth” question male, and the gender question with “transgender m → f” ?
Well, that’s how I answered, but “other” would have been a more honest description of my gender. The question asked: “With what gender do you primarily identify?” and I don’t have a female identity, only what I can describe as a femininely androgynous body image (prompting transition treatments) and much heavier social dysphoria about being male’d than female’d, although the optimal no-mental-suffering-causing option would be to be recognized as non-binary. Answering “AMAB other homosexual” probably wouldn’t have had a statistically relevant effect but the possibility of being interpreted (even though realistically nobody would have cared about it in the anonymized answers) as a “male” genderqueer attracted to men was psychologically too painful.
