INSTRUCTIONS:
The following survey is anonymous. None of the fields are required, so you may leave any question blank or write as much or as little as you like. You may also skip pages. Many questions refer to "transgender" life, and this is meant as an umbrella term to cover a wide range of gender identities. Depending on how many questions you choose to answer or how thorough your answers are, the survey can vary in length, but it does take a significant amount of time to complete. IF YOU ARE WORKING ON THE SAME COMPUTER, YOU MAY COMPLETE PART OF THE SURVEY AND COME BACK TO IT LATER (BY CLICKING ON "NEXT" YOU SAVE THE PAGE YOU WERE WORKING ON). Please write in full sentences - this makes it easier to use your quotes in the final book.
