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!

In your response to the "is it worth it to get diagnosed with POTS" ask, you mentioned that people with connective tissue disorders can be at risk of death because of common antibiotics. Can you elaborate on this? I've never heard it before and it sounds like a thing I need to go read up on.

yeah, if you have certain disorders including ehlers danlos syndrome and marfan syndrome, some of the most common antibiotics can harm or kill you. so you REALLY want to fucking know if you might have any kind of connective tissue disorder as soon as possible.

to my understanding, at least based off of what my doctors have told me, this class of antibiotics can also do long lasting harm beyond the possibility of death vs no death. I have no good sources off the top of my head about that, but I have been told by my doctors that there is a possibility that part of how I wound up so fucked up is from this class of antibiotics.

Health care professionals should avoid prescribing fluoroquinolone antibiotics to patients who have an aortic aneurysm or are at risk for an aortic aneurysm, such as patients with peripheral atherosclerotic vascular diseases, hypertension, certain genetic conditions such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and elderly patients.  Prescribe fluoroquinolones to these patients only when no other treatment options are available.  Advise all patients to seek immediate medical treatment for any symptoms associated with aortic aneurysm.  Stop fluoroquinolone treatment immediately if a patient reports side effects suggestive of aortic aneurysm or dissection.

some emphasis mine.

the list of antibiotics to avoid includes:

Avelox/moxifloxacin

Baxdela/delafloxacin

Cipro/ciprofloxacin

Cipro extended-release/ciprofloxacin extended-release

Factive/gemifloxacin

Levaquin/levofloxacin

Ofloxacin (generic brand)/ofloxacin

pro tip for anyone who packs:

Use a banana as a packer and at any moment during the day pull it out of your pants and casually start eating it.

we as a society should've taken covid as a wake-up call to take public health more seriously

and it feels like most people have done the opposite

If you’re seeing this you too have been struck with…🌩️🌩️ the curse! You must create a terrible comic!!🌩️🌩️ You will make something on this day ooooohhhhh~!

pro: it's only $10 (free shipping); i'm planning to buy a packer and i would like to like the color; i live with my parents and don't pay bills; homemade sock packer only does so much for me

con: i don't have a job and i should really be looking for a job; it's $10 more than just buying a packer ($50+) and not worrying about the color; i live with my parents and don't wanna have an awkward, uncomfortable conversation about my penis plans; homemade sock packer is free

@bnyrbt <- so i can reblog this lol

New concept for a packer:

a packer made out of glowstick material, so that if you get punched/kicked in the dick you’ll hear a crack and your crotch starts glowing. I will call my creation the Glowdick
