The original survey, I asked people to identify their biological sex and the gender they associate with. 100% of males identified with being men, and 100% of females identified with being women. Because of this, I decided to clump them both together.

It would be interesting to see if someone has done a study on the likelihood of males versus females to respond to online surveys.

FWIW, GNXP has about a 85:15 male female ratio, stable over 5 years of surveys (usually get 300-500 responses).
