Multigender Survey Results Dec 2023: Genders (part 1)

Multigender versus questioning

The first question asked participants to indicate whether they were multigender or were questioning (single selection). 594 participants (80.1%) identified as multigender, while 148 (19.%) were questioning whether they identified as multigender. 

Categories

Participants were asked to select which of the following best described the extent to which they identified as a woman, a girl, and/or female (single selection). The options provided were:

I am fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 196 (26.4%)

I am partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 417 (56.1%)

I am not a woman, a girl, or female in any capacity: 130 (17.5%)

613 (82.5%) identified as a woman, a girl, and/or female to some extent, whether fully or partially. 

Participants were also asked to select which of the following best described the extent to which they identified as a man, a boy, and/or male (single selection). The options provided were:

I am fully a man, a boy, and/or male: 297 (40.0%)

I am partially a man, a boy, and/or male: 393 (52.9%)

I am not a man, a boy, or male in any capacity: 53 (7.1%)

690 (92.9%) identified as a man, a boy, and or/male to some extent, whether fully or partially. 

The combination of answers to those two questions were used to sort participants into the following nine categories. 

Fully a man, a boy, and/or male + fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 151 (20.3%)

Partially a man, a boy, and/or male + fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 40 (5.4%)

Not at all a man, a boy, or male + fully a woman, a girl, and/or female: 5 (0.7%)

Fully a man, a boy, and/or male + partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 103 (13.9%)

Partially a man, a boy, and/or male + partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 288 (38.8%)

Not at all a man, a boy, or male + partially a woman, a girl, and/or female: 26 (3.5%)

Fully a man, a boy, and/or male + not at all a woman, a girl, or female: 43 (5.8%)

Partially a man, a boy, and/or male + not at all a woman, a girl, or female: 65 (8.7%)

Not a man, a boy, and/or male + not at all a woman, a girl, or female: 22 (3.0%)

Number of binary genders (man/boy/male and woman/girl/female) participants fully identified as:

Fully identified as two binary genders: 151 (20.3%)

Fully identified as one binary gender: 191 (25.7%)

Did not fully identify as any binary gender: 401 (54.0%)

Number of binary genders (man/boy/male and woman/girl/female) participants identified as to some extent, whether fully or partially:

Identified as two binary genders to some extent: 582 (78.3%)

Identified as one binary gender to some extent: 139 (18.7%)

Did not identify as any binary gender to any extent: 22 (3.0%)

Labels

Participants were asked “What are the genders you identify with? Select all that apply, whether always or sometimes” (multiple selection). The options provided were: 

Agender: 268 (36.1%)

Butch: 223 (30.0%)

Demigirl: 142 (19.1%)

Demiboy: 174 (23.4%)

Femme: 202 (27.2%)

Genderqueer: 500 (67.3%)

Man/boy/male: 470 (63.3%)

Manwoman/boygirl/male+female: 398 (53.6%)

Masc: 351 (47.2%)

Maverique: 72 (9.7%)

Neutrois: 69 (9.3%) (nice_

Nonbinary: 464 (62.3%)

Woman/girl/female: 399 (53.7%)

Xenogender: 248 (33.4%)

Questioning: 110 (14.8%)

Unlabeled: 129 (17.4%)

Categories vs Labels

In the previous survey, categories were formed based on answers to the question “What are the genders you identify with?” This turns out to have been an inaccurate way to categorize participants, as the categories participants self-identified with often didn’t match the way they would have been categorized based on the genders they identified with. 

Of 196 participants who identified as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female, 166 selected “woman/girl/female” as one of the genders they identified with (84.7%). Of 297 participants who identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male, 259 selected “man/boy/male” as one of the genders they identified with (87.2%).

Additionally, the previous survey did not include “manwoman/boygirl/male+female” as a gender option, under the assumption that people who identified that way would select both “man/boy/male” and “woman/girl/female.” However, of the 398 participants who selected “manwoman/boygirl/male+female,” 210 selected both “man/boy/male” and “woman/girl/female” (52.8%). 142 participants who selected “manwoman/boygirl/male+female” did not select “woman/girl/female” (35.7%), and 117 participants who selected “manwoman/boygirl/male+female” did not select “man/boy/male” (29.4%).

Abinary Genders

Participants were asked “do you experience abinary gender(s)?” (single selection), with abinary defined as “genders that are completely unrelated to the male/female binary.” The options provided were:

No, I don’t experience any abinary genders: 143 (19.2%)

Yes, I experience one abinary gender: 144 (19.4%)

Yes, I experience multiple abinary genders: 285 (38.4%)

Questioning: 171 (23.0%)

429 participants (75.7%) experienced one or more abinary gender(s). 

Of the 151 participants who identified as fully a man, a boy, and/or male as well as fully a woman, a girl, and/or female, 19 (12.6%) experienced one abinary gender and 62 (41.1%) experienced multiple abinary genders. 81 (53.6%) experienced one or more abinary gender(s) and 49 (32.5%) did not experience any abinary genders. That is to say, for a majority of participants who identified as fully a man/a boy/male and fully a woman/a girl/female, they identified as other gender(s) in addition to those two.

similar to that post i made about tboys: shoutout to genderfluid androgynes/or anyone who is male and female at various times who can't "shapeshift." there's people out there who only give us respect (or talk about us at all) when there's someone who can pass as Masc Cis Guy or Fem Cis Girl. but not everyone is doing all that. i don't shave my face or my body; when i'm fem, i'm a hairy fem who sounds like a guy. when i'm masc, i'm a short masc with obvious tits and ass. some people present the same all the time regardless of how their gender shifts!

we deserve respect when our gender isn't being treated like a party trick to entertain cis people. we deserve respect when we look visibly trans & genderqueer. i am not spending my spoons on that bullshit

[multigenderswag]

Mx, let me tell you something: You are actively misgendering all the multigender people who do identify as binary gender(s) or don't identify as nonbinary, of which there are many, which makes you a transphobe.

[multigenderswag]

I’m bigender, male and female, and AFAB. I’ve been chased out of transmasc groups for having she/her pronouns in my bio alongside he/him and told to stop invading trans spaces. I’ve been called Cis+ in nonbinary spaces and told I “don’t count” because I absolutely loathe being referred to as they/them and don’t care to present androgynous. The only spaces where I’m really welcomed based on my gender is in women’s spaces, and that’s only because I look like a cis woman most of the time; if I mention being bigender I’ll get comments like “girl why are you here then 😐” and “I’ve heard of internalized misogyny but this is something else!” if I’m not just outright kicked out first. So ultimately I’m not welcome in cis spaces, trans spaces, OR nonbinary spaces, so that’s lots of fun! /s

this is exorsexism.

[multigenderswag]

im Bigender`(both boy and a girl, he/she) and the boys at my school make a point to not use the he in my pronouns and defend themselves by saying "well your still half a girl"

this is exorsexism.

it is disrespectful to not acknowledge someone's full gender experience unless they explicitly said it's fine. bigender people are whole people and only focusing on one "half" is almost like treating someone as half a person.

[multigenderswag]

Thank you multigender people!

For context, I was trying to decide what color to make some of the multigender survey graphs (they are coming soon btw) and then anxiety brain went "what if you pick a color and it turns out everyone but you knows it's the loser idiot color that only loser idiots use" so I made a poll so I can't be held responsible if I end up using the loser idiot color

[multigenderswag]

why are you multigender? wrong answers only

[multigenderswag]

I'm bigender, I personally don't use they/them pronouns because I just don't think it fits me, I use she or he. It's annoying when people use they/them as a default for gnc or genderqueer people, a lot of the time when I specify my pronouns are she/he I get they/them'd instead because these two things are equivalent in a lot of people's minds. I also feel like an asshole if I correct people because I see that they're trying to be inclusive! And I get the impulse to not refer to me as my agab because they feel like it's misgendering me because I'm trans! but i promise you I'm telling you it's ok! He or She! Switch between them even! Also more minor rant but a lot of pronoun inclusive pins/stickers ect will have she/they or he/they but not she/he. They/them isn't a genderqueer/enby default! Use they/them only when people ask you to use they/them!

this is exorsexism.

use they/them if you don't know someone's pronouns or if someone told you their pronouns are they/them. if someone tells you explicitly that their pronouns are NOT they/them, don't use it. this is as true for nonbinary people who don't use they/them as it is for binary trans people.

A Wonderful Journey - Trans poem by a genderfluid author

-

Transmasc

It all starts with an itch beneath the skin

And i wonder what i could truly be

If i made my body a mural

Art for the purpose of forgetting the canvas

Cisgender

Sometimes it's more complex

I won't truly hate my flesh

I won't leave behind the image of my breasts, my curves, or the sound of my voice

Not because I can't, but because i don't want to

Transmasc

But what have i come across?

A kingdom of confusion

And i am back to where i started my journey

But with a burning passion, i long for more

Bigender

Two worlds have joined in a paradise of red and blue

Instead of wishing death to the other, they have learnt to love

And i rejoice alongside them

Could i want more?

Genderfluid

It all falls into place

And explains why i never had a face

But maybe, just maybe

In every shade of the rainbow, i can find myself

-

Happy trans day of visibility

message for girls: you can be a boy too. you dont have to stop being a girl to be a boy. if you dont want to be a girl you can stop, but you can also keep being a girl and be a boy at the same time. you can be a trans man and still be a woman if you want. if your womanhood is real to you and not just an imitation of what you think you're supposed to be doing, the way a lot of trans men describe, you can keep doing womanhood and just start doing manhood alongside it. and even if yours is an imitation you can keep it forever if you want to, if it is dear to you, you do not have to give it up to be valid.

and btw if your womanhood is hard-won and you feel like any hint of manhood is a threat to your validity, you can still have both things if you want both of them. you can be a trans woman and also a man if you wanna. you don't have to but if you want to, you can.

also no matter what kind of womanhood you have you can stop doing it whenever you need to. including if your womanhood is sincere and genuine btw. and it doesnt have to mean you were never a woman. you can do whatever you want forever i love you

[multigenderswag]

the assumption that male and female are opposing categories that never overlap or intersect

this is exorsexism.

it's also just... the patriarchy. the idea that men and women are opposites of each other and have nothing in common, women are emotional, men are rational and all those stereotypes. everything a man is a woman is not, including male. and everything a woman is, a man is not, including female. supposedly they're opposites that complement each other, or so cis heteronormative society would like us to think.

in deconstructing the patriarchy, we're slowly leaving the idea of maleness and femaleness as opposites behind, but for some reason people have a hard time doing that with people who are both men and women, because that's somehow "contradictory". and that's where it becomes specifically exorsexist.
