Genderbending survey

[crownedwithfire.livejournal.com]

I'm currently conducting a survery for my ethnography paper on language in society; I'm covering the topics of gender bending RP and the language codes used therein. I would appreciate it if you would fill out the survery if at all possible and give me any insight you can so I can complete with paper with a wide range of opinions on gendered language in roleplay.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations on the paper, I do have to treat gender as a binary set up -- please don't take this to be insulting, it's merely the structure of the class that I'm working within. Forgive me. But I would love your thoughts and opinions and especially your hard, hard data on this matter so that I can write a really awesome paper next weekend. I have a week to collect this data, so if you'd like to share the survey with others who you'd think would be able to fill this out and help me out, please do so.

The survey is here: Genderbending Roleplay Survey

edit:
We've already had some questions about how English is a 'gendered language'. We're not speaking as in a 'gendered language' as in 'women speak in one register/code and mean speak with entirely different'.

We're speaking of the male tendency to systemize speech and the female tendency to move toward empathizing speech and so forth. Some articles that might help clarify the survey will be here:
