TransAdvocate Polling Results
Last month we asked TAers how they felt about non-binary expressions of gender. One of the favorite RadFem (TERF) memes they like to propagate is that trans folk are the embodiment of the patriarchy since because their lived experience proves that they only value the gender binary. Are the TERFs right? We asked TA readers the following: Do you feel that non-binary gender identifications are valid? TA Polling Results Of the 148 of you who gave your opinion, the vast majority – 126 or 85% of you – asserted that non-binary gender identifications were in fact valid. Fourteen (9%) of you are apparently nuts and long to live in a Leave it to Beaver world and 8 of you (5%) didn’t know how you felt about this question. Thanks everyone for being a good sport and participating!

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“TransAdvocate Polling Results” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to feminism and gender politics, while also engaging empirical and quantitative research. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
As a publication record from 2013 at Transadvocate.com, “TransAdvocate Polling Results” provides dated evidence of how feminism and gender politics was being argued in relation to empirical and quantitative research. Comparing it with earlier and later records can reveal changes in vocabulary, evidence, and emphasis.
Policy significance
No dominant policy frame was detected in “TransAdvocate Polling Results.” Its policy relevance, when present, is therefore likely indirect: the article’s treatment of feminism and gender politics may shape later arguments about institutions or public practice rather than proposing a specific rule.
