I Like You

You're anonymous.  I'm not (not really).  So please answer the anonymous poll and I'll post my answer in a few days.

If you want to be disanonymous (huh?), post a comment under your account as well.  No home phone numbers!

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to phrase the poll choices, and I know I still have it wrong.  If I have it way wrong, post a comment or drop me an e-mail.  This is a learning experience for me.

I'm calling this gender orientation.  I did a quick search ~ others have used the term, but used it interchangeably with sexual orientation.  Sorry.  That's not right.  They use different adjectives for a reason.  I'm commandeering the term.

I want to know if we (and by 'we' I mean 'us') change who we're attracted to based on our appearance.  I know I've read e-mails from readers and posts on other sites from people who have answered this question, but I'd like to investigate it in an organised manner.  I know this poll is far from scientific, but it's the only tool I have at the moment.  I will accept grant money. :)

I apologise for having so many choices.  I really think there are too few choices, but I had to avoid nuances to keep it reasonable.

For the poll:

Ignore current relationships.

If you've transitioned, think back to when your body was of a type that you're not now.

If you're not trans at all, you can still play.  Pick whatever's closest.

By 'trans' I mean transgendered.  You can choose what you want that to mean.

If I get a decent pool size, I have some additional questions.  I'm trying to try to get a better feel for our community.

If I get fifty comments saying (for example) "Always girls.  But there's one guy at work who makes me shiver and I'd...." I'll have a different poll coming up.
