“I opted to leave question e-two blank as I identify as trans, queer and liminally gendered. I object to being registered as male or female in the service of data collection, and point out that it will skew the data to classify gender variant people in binary categories. My identification has not yet changed, so for the purposes of this study classify me as female for analysis if necessary, but understand that by doing so you are contributing to the systemic erasure of my identity”
