I was rather annoyed to see this as an option in the Personal Profile section of the FC profile surveys. Whether or not someone is trans has absolutely no relation to their sexual orientation; it's not something that makes sense as an option next to Heterosexual/Homosexual/Bisexual. It makes it seem like you're trying to just appear more inclusive, without actually caring enough to learn the concept of gender identity.

I do appreciate that you allow "prefer not to say" as an option, and I'd like to see an "Other" catchall for the rest of us (I'm pansexual, and had to choose 'bisexual' because it was the closest thing listed).

What survey was it? A lot of the surveys aren't made by FC, they are just hosting them. It's a valid point you are making, they probably just need more info to pass it along to the right place.

It's the Personal Profile survey from the ones in the left panel on the FC Surveys page, that you get $0.50 for completing. I'd assumed those were created by FC itself.

ah, okay, I think you are right and that one is done by FC. I thought you were talking about a Daily survey or one of the other offerings on the Surveys page.

That's actually a good point.
Opinion: 1) a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter 2) belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
This is the internet, learn to let people have opinions. And don't be so sensitive.  8)

Great point, I never noticed it but I'm glad to see someone did. Hopefully they change the survey.

It took a while, but we finally got this addressed with our survey partner and "Transgender" has been removed from the 'Sexual Orientation' question.  We do appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to serve you better.
