Manchester University are conducting a survey on Women's Road Safety in Greater Manchester

Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management https://share.google/uaYXnCKGFITeMRcGj

It's for anyone who 'identifies'. I got kicked out on the first or second question because I had to honestly answer 'no' to the question 'do I identify as a woman'. I sent a brief email to the woman (or bloke with a female name) explaining the problem so I've name changed jic.

There are design issues in vehicles related to biological sex - height, arm reach, body proportions etc. Women viewing mirrors from different angles, different view of road, different risks in crashes.
These are sex-based and not identity-based.

Yes indeed. Most vehicles and safety tests are designed for and around male bodies. It is staggering that whoever designed this survey/research apparently isn't aware of it, or dimly aware but so captured they can't see the problem.
