re: VIDA asks you to select your gender in their survey

I don't see lesbian trapped in a man's body.

I have a distant cousin that is actually going through this. He, now she, has become very open about the whole transition and posts frequently on Facebook.

Some of his logic is actually mind blowing. He readily admits that he has a dysphoria. However, he's chosen to move forward with the transition medically even though he often struggles when coming to terms with this new identity.

What I find weirder is that in one post he'll bitch about conforming to various gender stereotypes, and then a few days later he'll post something about needing to figure out how bras work.

He's clearly sick and I have serious doubts that a transition is going to fix much of anything.

Personally, I can't locate mine. I guess that I'd have to write it in. We've come a long way, baby.

I would probably decline because I'm all sorts of confused about what any of that is.

I thought I was cisgender, from what I've been told. But I thought that meant I was part of the "binary" man/woman gender belief. And I thought maybe the binary option meant one identified with both "man/woman," but there is also a bigender option which I think would cover that.

Actually now I've changed my mind. Instead of declining, I would just not take that survey.
