Assuming the "you all" also included me... Leaving aside the spying/NSA thing (which derailed the original point), the issue of gender is a valid one, and one that deserves care and sensitivity (just the same way that I note there's no question about ethnic background, religion, etc?). In relation to personas, see for instances https://medium.com/@indiyoung/describing-personas-af992e3fc527#.ydxwxw1j7 Anyway, I'll leave it at that. The survey's been at least modified away from a binary male/female, which some people may find inappropriate/restrictive, which is at least a start, thanks. P -- Patrick H.
