that's your interpretation of these questions. these questions are there to test a hypothesis, and to show if Gender Critical Feminists are actually authoritarian and racist as claimed by many TRAs. I don't understand why you think these questions imply that Gender Critical Feminists are a certain way, when these questions are there to prove whether they are that way or not.

The questions are ALL of a particular slant, and read like they were written by someone who believes there are only two possible choices: 1. People are liberal, non-racist, irreligious, and support everything the trans movement says, or 2. People are conservative, racist, religious, and hate trans people. If you really want to understand the psychology of GC feminists, then ask more diverse, nuanced questions that don't presuppose one or the other option. If all you want to know is "are GC feminists conservative, racist, and religious," that could be answered in less than 100+ questions. Just... ask.

You cannot properly test a hypothesis this way. You have no basis of criterium that decides what a gender critical feminist even is, and you've left access to every tom, dick, and shitposter on the internet to play havoc with your aggregated data.

Many of the questions present false dichotomies and kafka-traps that can't be honestly answered. I got about halfway through it and gave up. For example:

"God created two sexes only"

Yes there are two sexes, but I don't know why religion is supposed to have anything to do with it. I "strongly agree" with biological fact, but also "strongly disagree" that this is some kind of belief. Conflating the two things is a non-sequitur. So what do you expect someone is supposed to answer there?

Part of science is understanding the context of the question you are asking. This involves at least a literature review, but I imagine that for controversial social topics that are currently in flux, it might also involve more direct methods (e.g. qualitative analysis of social media, but I can't say for sure since my field is in the biological sciences and not sociology). The framing of the questions in this survey suggests that the investigators do not really understand the totality of the gender critical perspective, i.e. how someone can both identify as a leftist and be critical of trans ideology. (For the record I am not a leftist and not a radical feminist, so I'm probably more of what the investigators have in mind, but I find it profoundly problematic that they have failed to perceive one entire wing of the gender critical movement, exactly the wing that is going to negate the hypothesis being tested.)

The questions are very awkward and many of them are written in a way where it's not possible to agree OR disagree. Is this for a school project or something?
