The 2022 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The ninth annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2022.

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, retweet this tweet, boost this Mastodon post, check out this post on Reddit, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks like Facebook. Every share is extremely helpful - it’s what helped us get 44,000 responses last year.

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.

Thank you so much!

Yay! Found out the send-in things are called asks, so got that figured out. May actually end up being able to use this website after all.

Alright, day 2, time to figure out this website.

Director of national intelligence? ...someone is gonna have to explain what that means in this context, is it a part of Tumblr culture I just don't know? Like "Director of Intelligence, here's things you should be intelligent about"?

Ok MOGAI seems like a pretty cool alternative to LGBTQQIAANP2S+, or whatever order the full acronym is now.

I don't see what commercial investment has to do with--oh ok its a bdsm thing.

Another bdsm thing.

Ok so not-anti-shipping? I didn't know there were people against shipping in general? I knew there were shipping wars over different ships but being against all shipping in general seems extreme. This one genuinely confuses me.

Oh okay, so it's transphobia specifically towards transmascs.

Well, I now have a list of acronyms to look up. And here I thought I was getting the hang of internet acronyms. dni, mogai, cgl, ddlg, anti-anti (given the context I'm guessing something with pedophilia?), and transandophobia, if thats not a weird typo for transphobia.

Geez, even with just the words I do know this seems like a depressing list.

Ok so chat doesn't work. I'm trying to message someone. What about that... public send-in thing I've seen in screenshots? I mean I assume they can see those before choosing to publish it or not so I could probably send one of those. Except idk what its called so I cant look up how to do that either.

[dndrbs43]

Posting is like the only thing I've figured out. Managed to change my profile pic though so thats something. But how do you message someone?

[dndrbs43]

Hey Oh neat font Is that the only difference then? Can you not change fonts without making it a quote or chat?

[dndrbs43]

Woah thats big

Hi this is a quote, I suppose

[dndrbs43]

Testing testing

Okay whats the difference between like quote and text and chat? And what are tags for. Are they the same as on Ao3?
