Heads up all.
Going to leave this up for two more weeks.
So if you haven't filled it in yet, please do so before the 8th September (or there abouts) or you will not be counted!

Thanks again to everyone who has taken part, I'm really confident the sample size will be strong enough to get a strong census.

all completed here

done it ,better late than never..

are the results ready yet????

I'd just like the extend a big "Thank YOU" to everyone who took part in the survey.
When I posted the survey, I honestly believed that I would get about 300 responses to this,
but then I saw it hit over 2oo in just a few days, I began to hope for 500.
Then when it got to 500 I thought "Right! TOO THE MOON! ONE THOUSAND!"....


I think I got carried away.

We've closed entries at 740 responses total (Nice full number isn't it?
Not 739 or even 741. No, 740 is our number )
I'm really pleased because this will turn out much better quality data than my initial hope for 300.

And yet I'm disappointed somehow. I have to account for voter apathy, but it just seems like there
should be more of us. I know there are more of us.

I looked at numbers in all of the websites I frequent, and in terms of user base, the numbers here
pale in comparison. I'm not sure what to make of it.

But that does not mean that our data wont be useless.
The link to the survey was accessible via a few websites

My google+ profile, my blogger, crossdressers.com forums, Transtastic and TVchix.
It may have been shared elsewhere, but I doubt it somehow.
This means all respondents but have been English speaking and have internet access.
They are also likely to be the level of crossdresser who might want to know about themselves a bit
better and meet people like themselves.
I find it unlikely that there many 'hairy panty wearer' types who responded to this.
I wont bore you with my own assumptions about the type of person who has responded, I'll let you
judge that for yourself.

In the name of transparency, I am making both the table of results and the analytic graphs
available to every one.


Here is the link for the table - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1togRxLgrY18J7MuyHYpbjOdAan2Hv-UwWf-Aa3h37WQ/edit#gid=1972670530

Here is the link for the analytic graphs - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HGXTLnCa3W5CU1lLxkFT-VtsxMuj0MROXANWnFEN-g8/viewanalytics#start=openform

As for my own thoughts on the results?
Well as for biggest surprise, the award has to go for question 2. I honestly though that the biggest
age group would be the 40-50 crowd, maybe the 30-40 group. But no!
It was those feisty fifty-somethings that are having the most girl time!
I was also saddened to be reminded of just how many of you kept this all from your wives until after
you were married. I remember that burden. I wish luck to all of you yet to come clean.
I also learn that I need to speed up my makeup skills, because getting ready takes a massive majority
of you less than 1 hour. Averaging at 2 - 2.5 hours, I need to move a bit quicker getting ready LOL.

It's interesting to look at the broader picture in a concise and easy to read form and fun to see
where you sit in that broader picture.

Thank You all again for taking part. I had fun with this

Hi Samantha,

Well done.

I really think that getting 740 responses is good. If you assume there are somewhere around 300.000 trans m to f people in the UK, which is in the right ball park in my opinion, then a number in the high hundreds is a good reply rate. Especially as you didn't chase anyone here (or I guess on other websites) to give replies.

I have done many market research surveys over the years in the industrial world and I know how tough it can be - to devise a questionnnaire, to call people on the phone (it's much tougher now with all the junk calls people get) and then to correlate and analyse the results.

I will have a look at your results over the weekend, and do agree that your initial findings in terms of age surprise me. Irrespective of that it will be fun to read the results. Our special world still has surprises.

Oh and by the way maquillage + getting dressed is 1 hour max....smile


hugs
