HRC's identity options today
Sep. 5th, 2012 03:46 pmThe Human Rights Campaign has a history of failing on trans* issues, so as a member I've been watching with interest their "tell us about yourself" web form pull-downs over time. They're still a little weird, but better:
Gender:
Man
Woman
Genderqueer
Prefer not to say
Sexual Orientation:
Lesbian
Gay
Bisexual
Straight/Heterosexual
Queer
Other
Prefer not to say
Do you identify as transgender?
Yes
No
There's a glaring absence of "Prefer not to say" on that last one, but overall it's a big improvement. I actually got to choose accurate answers for each question, though not everyone would, and unlike last time nothing bizarre is in there.
