In February of last year, we published a poll to ask our users about their opinions about transgender people. In retrospect, we made a couple of mistakes here. First, some argued that it should’ve been a simple yes/no question instead of having two yes options. Second, the poll software allowed tech-savvy users to vote multiple times, which we believe happened many times. Third, we didn’t change our policy or communicate properly after the poll concluded. This is causing some frustration among users. So we’ve decided to run a new poll for a few days.
Poll results
The poll ran from January 17 to January 20. We received 372 votes from registered users. A handful of “no” votes were rejected because some users still tried to vote multiple times (using multiple accounts). These didn’t affect the outcome much. Here are the results:
Conclusion
There is a clear majority for all four questions, and “no” won each time. So, moving forward, we’re changing our policy:
- We are not accepting profiles to be created for transgender people.
- We will be removing existing profiles for transgender people. Given a lack of time and resources, we cannot screen all 120k+ profiles. So, we’re asking the users to inform us when they see such a profile page. You can comment here or use the contact form to reach us. Please do not post in the comments of the profile page, as we don’t monitor all profile page comments.
- In the past, we made an exception for Ines Rau intending to keep our archive of Playboy Playmates 100% complete. We will continue doing this and keep this profile page up as a sole exception.
- Since the poll results are clear, we are not planning on revisiting this subject anytime soon.
