Survey completed. Some of the questions are ambiguous.
“How many children do you have?”
I find this question problematic each year. Biological offspring? Custodial children?
“What is your approximate annual income in US dollars?”
Personal income? Household income?
“Gender Default”
I wanted something like a Likert scale here. I would not say I would feel “wrong,” “creeped out,” or “freaked out” by switching genders, but I would even less say that I “identify with their birth gender only because they see no reason to go through the hassle and social stigma of transitioning,” which also seems qualitatively different than “a man who would be happy as either a man or a woman, but since they’re a man, they stay a man.” The question sets us a dichotomy that may not be so much false as a mild category error, sort of like “which one of you is the fork?”
