The 2025 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 12th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 30th August 2025.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

If you can't wait for survey numbers, you can click here for a public spreadsheet of non-secret info with graphs as it comes in, updated manually a few times per day.

Thank you so much!

My name is Abdullah, and I’m from Gaza.

My life has been turned upside down by war. I’ve lost my home, my safety, and every basic thing we often take for granted.

I’m not asking for much — just a little kindness, a little support. Even a small donation or a share could help me survive this dark time.

Please read my story here:

Thank you for not ignoring me.

🫂Please stop and listen to my story. Don't ignore me.💔

Save family 🙏💔

I am Enas, and I have eight children. I don't know how to describe to you the feelings of war, the pain, the suffering, and the destruction we are experiencing here.

Just imagine: I lost my home, my job, and I've lived through the devastation.

We've been at war for a year or more.

I live in a small tent in the cold and winter

We can no longer bear this life here.

My daughter needs healthcare, but I am alone, and under these conditions, I cannot give her the most basic rights.

She needs healthy food, but even that has become difficult to obtain due to exploitation and the lack of the most basic resources

We are now in a state of severe famine and cannot find any kind of food

Here in the tent, we have been drowning in the heavy rains

Escaping death is so difficult that they have closed the crossing to us, and now we cannot travel, and we are still here in Gaza, in the devastation

But I launched this campaign so that my family and I can leave here when the crossing opens.

But even leaving is not easy.

Because we need coordination from Egypt, and we have to pay $5,000 per person.

I need to save my life and the lives of my family from death, and you are the only way to achieve this

Your cooperation and presence will save our lives from death.

I know you are capable of it, and I trust you. I will be grateful to anyone who helps me

Help us live 🚨💔 donate to us, even if it's a little. Extend a helping hand and save us. Prices are high, and we can't satisfy our children's hunger. Can you donate $100? If you can't donate as much as you can and share my post so my children's cries reach as many people as possible. Thank you in advance🙏🫂🥹.

Please donate to me as much as you can. 🙏🥺😭💔

Your donation, even if it's small, could save us. It could bring a smile to the face of a child who has only known the cruelty of war🥺🙏🍉.

Brother, a bag of flour costs $250 in Gaza. We don't have anything to feed our children at home. Please, imagine your children in my place. Do something for the innocent children who are starving.

VirtualDash Volunteering & Spotify Suggestions

Hi all,

Thank you so much for your support of Virtual DashCon 2! We’re so grateful for all your contributions to our Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser. Every dollar counts!

Virtual Volunteering Sign-Ups

Weren’t able to panel IRL in Toronto? Have a leftover PowerPoint Night slide deck you’re dying to share? We have the job for you!

DashCon 2 is opening up virtual panelist and moderator positions starting today! They will remain open until Friday, June 20th. We want to specifically encourage non-North American applications so we can increase accessibility and run panels round-the-clock on July 5th. DashCon 2 is yours to create!

Apply to panel: Panellist Application

Apply to moderate: Moderator Application

Spotify Shenanigans

(We swear, this is the last Google Form!)

As promised, we are opening song applications for DashCon 2’s dance party! Please request songs you want to dance to, so as much as we love Hozier, Take Me To Church might not be the move. However we don’t discriminate on genre: waltz music, emo, punk, nightcore, game OSTs, Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up, and more are welcome!

Suggest Us Songs!

Since we’ll probably get too many requests, we’ll be putting some music selections up to a vote here on Tumblr.

The more suggestions a song gets, the more likely we are to include it, so don’t be afraid to suggest a song you think someone else has already suggested.

Commissions for Charity

Great news—some very generous artists have offered to volunteer their time and draw comissions in exchange for proof of donation to DashCon 2’s Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser. Tumblr user (and DashCon 2 panellist!) @skaetlett has already taken some charity comissions :)

Example of skaetlett’s commission work.

Commissions will be available in-person in the Dealer’s Hall and online!

Are you an artist who wants to volunteer? You’re welcome to do so at any time on your own blog/account, but if you’d like to volunteer your art during VirtualDash, feel free to email activities@dashcontwo.com!

I am sure some of you are curious. Yes, my scandalous Toe Sucking picture included the very same Powerful Feet I have been training day and night with my Joker Kicks. I am strong enough now to kick a Cinder Block in half. Heh... I bet a Certain Someone is getting scared for our duel right about now...
