Pet Shop Boys Community - Demographics (sexual orentation)

[Nickname]

This is one of the fourth polls called PSB Community - Demographics in order to know a bit more about us. Please, try to answer the four polls (your age, where are you from?, sexual preference and civil status).

Hey nickname, lots of trans people identify as binary genders, so the last option doesn't really make sense. A more appropriate final option might be "non-binary or genderqueer". (Also "traditional" is quite a loaded word so probably best steer clear of that.)

Thanka for putting it so eloquently, dear Ramzy! Was bothered by that as well, but I kind of gave up on people here...

I wanted to include them on the poll and I'd like to give you thanks to make clear that indentification here. I'm going to leave the poll with the option "no traditional gender" to make it more understable and clear. Terms like "non-binary" of "genderqeer" are more or less new terms and not so common like transgender. But your apreciation is a good thing to introduce us (specially non English speakers) these new terms.

[Future Lover]

That's a really shit explanation... You are not the one to decide correct terms. In fact, something being a new term is actually a preferable, good thing. Just like with "preference" vs "orientation". You just chose the one you prefer in this case because you're obviously quite... ill informed on this.

And how about giving somebody the benefit of a doubt instead of ranting on them with deliberate misunderstanding. Nickname means no harm, that's obvious like the blue sky.

Well, he means no harm, but obviously can't take a hint. In fact, I gave him the benefit of the doubt by expecting him to accept he was wrong instead of waving it away. Heck, even the option "Other" would be less crap.

Ok, I was wrong. I hope you are happy now.

"... would be less crap"

Hm, you don't really know how to behave around people do you?

"You are not the one to decide correct terms"
It's Nicknames' poll, so Nickname decides whatever Nickname chooses to.

That's rich coming from you...

Greetings,

Oh Nickname, careful with the order of options. Too easy to get accused of what not here

Very prescient.

Retro.

[Future Lover]

Oh, look, the entire [inappropriate language removed by forum admin] is here!
If Greendrake or retro made the poll it would be
- Normal man
- Normal woman
- Degenerates
I guess being butthurt about the world leaving you behind in your cave should be a sexual orientation too.

So Nickname, you're a blessing in disguise, and indeed, you mean no harm.
As Ramzy said, "Non-binary/Genderqueer" or "Other" would've been perfectly fine. And no, trans people don't belong to that option, since they are men/women.
