redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

The three of us stopped at the library in Copley Square before going to the farmers market, so [personal profile] adrian_turtle could hand in her summer reading bingo card and get a(nother) free tote back, and so I could pick up a book I had on hold. While we were doing that, [personal profile] cattitude browsed the displays, saw a biography of Terry Pratchett, and checked it out.

At the farmers market, we got red raspberries, blueberries, and heirloom tomatoes. We then grabbed a slightly early lunch at Clover, because the branch across from Copley Square has outdoor tables and it was early enough to not be oppressively hot.

We had a zoom call with my mother scheduled for this afternoon, but she called about half an hour before the scheduled time and asked to postpone it until tomorrow, which we're doing. We didn't so much hurry home because of that appointment, as look at a clock and confirm we had more than enough time.
I answer monthly rider surveys for the MBTA, and they are now collecting demographic data.

The survey includes a question about gender identity, which has ticky boxes for man, woman, nonbinary, gender queer, and agender, and for both cisgender and transgender. They aren't making the common error of treating "transgender" as separate from male or female, and this is the first such survey I can remember that is asking if people are trans, but that isn't treating cisgender as the default/unmarked state. [Somewhere later on, someone is probably assuming that people are cis unless otherwise stated, but at this stage, they're treating cis and trans the same way.]

Since they're ticky boxes, I checked "woman" and "cisgender."
