    I wish I knew the date and context of this. With words like “gay” and “woman” being censored out by the U.S. administration, I imagine that official government surveys might end up looking this stupid now.

    I also imagine the possibilty that some biased group is attempting to inaccurately count the number of participants that are/aren’t straight. If they put “gay” or “bisexual” on a second page (after clicking “More options”), they’re creating friction for anyone who isn’t “straight.” That is, not everyone will bother going through another option page - they may settle for “Prefer not to answer” because it’s already right there in front of them. Then when totaling up the answers at the end, whoever’s using these data can simply omit the respondents that didn’t answer. Boom - just like that, it will appear as if a greater percentage of the group are straight. Such easy LBGTQ-erasure.

      if this isn’t a proposition it’s none of your business

      and if it is I’m not interested

      I dunno… if the slide-deck was made from scratch just for me bc the person is too socially awkward to know how to “normally” proposition me… I’d at least complete it.

      Seems like it’s some sort of digital intake form for a healthcare organization. The answer related to speaking with a doctor had me curious and googling “Epic healthcare” showed that company with matching logo as a healthcare software company.

      May be helpful information to share with a doctor but understandable to say no for anyone who wants to confirm their doctor is LGBT+ friendly/trustworthy first before disclosing details.

    Reminds me of a copy of a gender selection form, where someone was probably overwhelmed by long words like “heterosexual” (6 syllables!), and wrote “straight” at the “other” option.
