I also showed my supervisors the COGIATI lmao

lampjaded.bsky.social•35 days ago

There was a claim the COGIATI questions were adapted from others: https://psychology.fandom.com/wiki/COGIATI

When I dug in, I was horrified; all this sexist stuff was indeed from this already-established sexist stuff.

I can't pin my desistance from 2000-2018 on any one thing but getting a 3 was a factor.

lampjaded.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm good enough at parking and math and shite that even three years past bottom surgery, I'm STILL a "3. Androgyne"

Please, PLEASE, anyone looking at these tests, if you use them for anything, if you get less than a 4 AND ARE DISAPPOINTED, that's a might fine sign of being trans.

Asking for 2006 me: what did they say?

jessothomson.co.uk•35 days ago

Shock and horror. Especially when I showed the rotation question. One of them only recently learned what a transmedicalist was.

aliceinwunderl3.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh the things I could say about Susan's Place and the people who dwelled there.

It's just grafting the Harry Benjamin scale onto a pub bore's idea of a Cosmo Quiz.

jessothomson.co.uk•35 days ago

I was actually using it to explain how far the Harry Benjamin nonsense pervaded and harmed the community

I suspect it's really hard to talk about academically, but the way those ideas function/ed to make trans girls vulnerable to child sexual abuse is really underexamined.

They also laughed at the web 2.0 pink webpage

I'd never heard of this before and what in the everloving fuck am I looking at here

jessothomson.co.uk•35 days ago

You should take it. If you say you're good at maths or can rotate shapes in your mind on the quiz you're actually a man.

titivilluswrites.bsky.social•35 days ago

Saying outright "I am a transsexual" apparently has as much relevance as how good I am at telling what direction a sound came from. This is amazing.

lampjaded.bsky.social•35 days ago

The weighting on some VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS is bordering on insane. Oh, you're on HRT but you can rotate a cube in your head so it cancels out.

titivilluswrites.bsky.social•35 days ago

I made my (cis) wife take a look at this thing and now she's mad that it's called her a man for being autistic.

titivilluswrites.bsky.social•35 days ago

Maths? Spelling ability? Rotating cubes??

damselindystopia.bsky.social•35 days ago

Fuck em up.
