The Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) is performing a large-scale survey.
We are looking for any respondents who are part of the asexual spectrum, as well as people who are not part of the asexual spectrum. This survey includes some sensitive questions about sexual topics. Please distribute this announcement.
The survey is open for some time. Later, statistical results will be published, providing crucial information about the demographics and needs of asexual-spectrum people.
The survey can be accessed here.
{cut for length, it’s just me whining about my faith not falling under any of the options listed)
(I’m on the AVEN survey committee)
No, you’re not being irrational. I apologize, we made a major mistake there. I thought an “other” option was listed, but apparently we missed it in editing. We can’t edit question options while the survey is still running, but we will be sure to fix it next time.
If you are affected by this issue, I suggest leaving the question blank.
I. am a little embarrassed you saw my rant before I actually got up the spoons to write the Calm Rational Adult email I was going to, but thank you so much for responding as quickly as you did even though I was really rude. (I. have got to remember that reblogs are direct communication with the OP. *headdesk*)
I’m also a little embarrassed that I didn’t think to try skipping the question and just assumed it was non-optional, so thank you for letting me know that!
I saw the further reblogs raising other issues with the list and some people’s suggestions - I know that the list used by the SATs, for example, is very comprehensive (it even has my faith, Unitarian Universalism listed, and there are fewer of us than there are taxi cab drivers.), but as you were concerned about, it is rather long and unwieldy.
One solution might be to have a two-step question - the first one being generic options like ‘Christian’ ‘Muslim’ ‘Jewish’ ‘Hindu’ ‘Pagan’ ‘Other’ ‘Non-Religious’, with each option then opening the appropriate list of more specific choices. (I’m not sure how easy that is to do in google forms, though.)
A similar option would be to have the generic options and then allow write-ins of specifics - the drawback here is that it would take more human effort when analyzing survey results later.
Thank you for taking the time to address my upset <3 It meant a lot.
