Interesting idea here, and I do see the logic. Let's re-examine
the survey entries where the answers were discarded and see how
they responded to the BDR question.
The one whose "public exposure" answer was thrown out answered
the "understand why it has to be" choice on the BDR question,
but not the "bunch of bull$#!+" answer.
All three whose answers were thrown out on the restroom
question answered that they support the BDR guidelines.
Looking at the response containing the "... this is Vegas,
baby" comment, no, none of the "does not apply to me"
answers were selected.

Surveys such as this will always be subject to the interpretation
of the taker to a certain degree. Some will interpret "public
exposure to mean only mainstream public exposure, others may think
of it as including alternative public exposure, and some may even
include such things as support groups and private t-parties as
public exposure. When we're dealing with 80-some responses, the
variations in interpretation tend to average out and we get a
good idea of how long our attendees have been, on average,
interacting with others in their chosen gender role.
I even tried to consider the perspective of the respondee when
trying to figure out how a TG could possibly think that the
questions did not apply to them, but I kept drawing a blank.
Your idea is the closest I've heard to anything that makes
sense in explaining these answers, but the survey responses
don't indicate that it's the case, unfortunately.
