The 2023 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 10th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 9th May 2023.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

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 - it’s what helped us get 40,000 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.

For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.

Thank you so much!

don’t feel comfy going off anon but here’s a pronoun check for you :) (no need to reply if you don’t want to)

I really appreciate AJ and his blog, he has been very helpful to me in my gender journey. Her icon makes me wonder if she is a fan of Pokémon. I wonder what other interests it has. I hope they know how much they have helped me and other trans people and I hope this pronoun check helps them. Gender and pronouns can be a tricky thing to figure out and I wish him the best of luck. I hope that ze has had a good Pride month and that ze has been taking care of zirself. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind him to stay hydrated!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON 🥹 /gen

Saw a post with Evan and grinned so wide, so could you do that with he/they? Maybe more they/them since I'm not sure about those. I really appreciate what you're doing here. I like platypuses and sci-fi stuff. :)

Sure thing! & thank you sm :,) /gen

This is Evan! Their name is super cool. He told me that they like platypuses, so I wonder if they have any cool platypus facts he could tell me? Evan also said that they like sci-fi stuff, so I bet they definitely have some epic sci-fi recommendations. I hope that he has a great day and takes care of themself!
