[Pāṇini]

1. Gender: assigned male at birth, male if asked, confused if pressed.
2. Sexual orientation: pansexual, but fairly gynephilic. Not big on labels.
3. Handedness: northpaw, no questions asked.
4. Nationality: Puerto Rican, with everything that entails.
5. Ethnicity: Puerto Rican.
6. Neurotype: I am a rolling ball of anxiety and perhaps mild ADHD.
7. Health conditions: none worth mentioning, mashallah.
8. Glasses: aviators, actually—I am very nearsighted.
9. Facial hair: my partner likes me bearded, though it comes out more as scruff than anything else.
10. Body type: a little fluffy, though people rarely notice.
11. Subculture: a bit of a late ‘60s to early ‘70s throwback, style-wise. Apart from that, I’m a fairly middle-of-the-road long-haired Zoomer guy.
12. Species/breed of pets: a basset hound who is only allegedly a dog.
13. Religion: culturally Catholic, philosophically a Mahayana Buddhist. My actual practice waffles between the two.

[Man in Space]

Time for an update to this.

[Khemehekis]

Nice to get to know you more, Panini!

8. Glasses: aviators, actually—I am very nearsighted.

You're saying you wear prescription sunglasses? I'm thinking of getting a pair of them myself, since the astigmatism in my right eye has gradually gotten worse over the years, but I don't want to have to give up wearing sunglasses.

[Khemehekis]

Time for an update to this.

All right!

6. Neurotype: Autistic (ASD/Asperger's), OCD, depression, anxiety

By anxiety, do you mean generalized anxiety disorder?

10. Body type: Average (lost a lot of weight due to Crohn’s and now am no longer overweight…counting that as a win)

Woo-hoo!

11. Subculture: Nerd, geek, metalhead, introvert, brony, Trekker

What's the difference between a Trekker and a Trekkie? I don't think I've heard that term before.

13. Religion: Lutheran (LCMS; I have been catechized)

Congratulations!

Likewise!

They’re actually just prescription glasses with an aviator frame, à la Napoleon Dynamite. That said, I’ve got transition lenses that darken when exposed to UV rays. They do just fine, although the they don’t work through car windshields/windows.

[Arayaz]

1. Cismale
2. Straight
3. Right-handed
4. American, from Louisiana
5. I've been full American for a few generations; as far back as I've traced it my family seems to be something like 60% American, 25% Romanian, and a smattering of other European. I know there's some prominent Irish in there too.
6. Neurotypical
7. No health conditions as far as I know
8. I'm pretty nearsighted and do wear glasses
9. Not too much facial hair, but the beginnings of a mustache (or so I'm told)
10. Wiry and tall
11. Nerd/geek
12. One dog (50% akita) and two cats (one calico, no idea about the other)
13. Jewish by tradition, atheist in practice.

[GoshDiggityDangit]

1. Gender: I would say that I am NB. Biologically, I'm male.
2. Sexual orientation: I am androsexual, though I prefer the term Achillean because it's waaay cooler.
3. Handedness: I am right-handed.
4. Nationality: I'm an American, and I currently live in Ohio. I was born in West Virginia, and have lived in six states throughout my life.
5. Ethnicity: White American
6. Neurotype: I definitely have depression, and I suspect I may have an Anxiety disorder and may be on the Autism spectrum.
7. Health conditions: I have headaches all the time? I'm pretty healthy.
8. Glasses: I do wear glasses. Everything further than a foot in front of me is blurry.
9. Facial hair: I try my best to avoid it.
10. Body type: I worry too often about my weight, but I have an average body type.
11. Subculture: I don't really know! I think I'll have to live a little longer to decide.
12. Pets: I have had many in my life, but right now I have a golden retriever, some little poodle thing, and a Tonkinese.
13. Religion: I am "officially" unreligious, but I am pretty sure I received a religious revelation in my dreams and will eventually found a religion.

5. I've been full American for a few generations; as far back as I've traced it my family seems to be something like 60% American, 25% Romanian, and a smattering of other European. I know there's some prominent Irish in there too.
13. Jewish by tradition, atheist in practice.

Wait . . . by American do you mean Native American/American Indian, or do you mean a mix of Anglo-Saxon, African-American, French, and/or Cajun, etc. that's lived in the U.S. as far back as you can trace it -- classic Louisiana? Creole, perhaps? And you also say you're "Jewish by tradition" -- does this mean you're also part Jewish, ethnically (perhaps from the Romanian branch of your family tree), or did your family convert in recent memory?

[Khemehekis]

Wow, I really got to know you a loooooot more, GoshDiggityDangit!

1. Gender: I would say that I am NB. Biologically, I'm male.

I'll record this as "Non-binary AMAB".

2. Sexual orientation: I am androsexual, though I prefer the term Achillean because it's waaay cooler.

This is my first time hearing the word "Achillean" used in this sense, but according to Wiktionary it means "gay male". Since you identified as NB in the first question, I'll record this as "Androsexual non-binary".

6. Neurotype: I definitely have depression, and I suspect I may have an Anxiety disorder and may be on the Autism spectrum.

Do you have a specific anxiety disorder in mind? I have OCD. Or perhaps generalized anxiety disorder (which is what my father has), social anxiety disorder, PTSD, or something else?

7. Health conditions: I have headaches all the time? I'm pretty healthy.

Wow, I have headaches all the time too! Multiple tension headaches every month. They drove me crazy until I got me some PRN Tylenol.

12. Pets: I have had many in my life, but right now I have a golden retriever, some little poodle thing, and a Tonkinese.

I looked Tonkinese cats up on Wikipedia, and it says they're a cross between Siamese and Burmese. Interesting!

13. Religion: I am "officially" unreligious, but I am pretty sure I received a religious revelation in my dreams and will eventually to found a religion.

This is my first "I'm going to found a religion!" response on this survey! Along with Kiwikami's "agnostic polytheist", this is one of the most fascinating responses to this question! I know Pabappa/Soap has said his religion is one of his conreligions, but he hasn't replied to this survey (yet). By "unreligious", do you mean atheist, agnostic, secular humanist, ignostic (with an i), irreligious (as in, strongly anti-religion as a concept), or Nothing in Particular (as the option on some religion polls goes)?

5. I've been full American for a few generations; as far back as I've traced it my family seems to be something like 60% American, 25% Romanian, and a smattering of other European. I know there's some prominent Irish in there too.

Creole, perhaps? And you also say you're "Jewish by tradition" -- does this mean you're also part Jewish, ethnically (perhaps from the Romanian branch of your family tree), or did your family convert in recent memory?

1. Lived in the U.S. as far back as I've personally traced it, though I know it's ultimately Portuguese.
2. My mom's family (from Romania, ultimately) is Jewish, making me technically Jewish. I'm proud of it, and celebrate Jewish traditional holidays, but am an atheist by belief.

Edit: for more random details, I do have some amount of Native American, Polish, and Lithuanian a few generations back (but I don't know the exact percentage).

[GoshDiggityDangit]

Do you have a specific anxiety disorder in mind? I have OCD. Or perhaps generalized anxiety disorder (which is what my father has), social anxiety disorder, PTSD, or something else?

I suppose just GAD? My girlfriend has told me that I might have GAD, so next time I visit my psychiatrist I'm going to bring it up.

By "unreligious", do you mean atheist, agnostic, secular humanist, ignostic (with an i), irreligious (as in, strongly anti-religion as a concept), or Nothing in Particular (as the option on some religion polls goes)?

I'm agnostic.

[Khemehekis]

1. Lived in the U.S. as far back as I've personally traced it, though I know it's ultimately Portuguese.

Ah, Portuguese! Like Nelly Furtado and Greg Raposo and Katy Perry. Cool.

2. My mom's family (from Romania, ultimately) is Jewish, making me technically Jewish. I'm proud of it, and celebrate Jewish traditional holidays, but am an atheist by belief.

I don't practice Judaism either (as I indicated in my response, I'm a deist). I did do a Seder with my (African-American) friend Oneika a few years back and enjoyed it. I don't really celebrate many holidays at all -- religious or secular. Absolutely do not do Halloween.

Edit: for more random details, I do have some amount of Native American, Polish, and Lithuanian a few generations back (but I don't know the exact percentage).

Wow -- Lithuanian! Just like the dabled conlanger thing! I'll just write down "Portuguese and Jewish", since Polish, Native American, and Lithuanian are small ancestries that you don't seem to identify with.

Thanks for the clarifications!

Congrats for finding this out about yourself!

[Khemehekis]

Yes, congratulations on discovering your true gender -- and your religious conversion! (See you've got some new pets, too.)

[Man in Space]

My neurotype may have to be updated to bipolar instead of just depression. Stay tuned.
