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.
Tumblr media
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.
Thank you so much!

I feel like a lot of people are fine with aromanticism on paper but are not ready to deal with the downstream implications of aromanticism being a valid way to experience desire and relationships. Hell a lot of people are still kind of head in the sand about people having sex outside of romantic relationships even though it's hella common even among alloromantics.

Weirdpunk
A punk movement based around being and encouraging being weird (in a way that doesn't harm anyone).
I'm autistic, have PPD, and OCD. These carry what neurotypicals deem, "weird traits." They make me act "weird", talk "weird", dress 'weird', etc etc.
I have identities that may be deemed "weird." I go semi-scribal and semi-verbal occasionally that may be deemed "weird."
I have "weird" disorders, disabilities, and identities alongside many factors. I've been called weird multiple times. However, now? I take fucking pride in that shit. I take pride in being weird.
Encouraging being weird includes non-conforming of trying to be "normal" and rather accepting the weird, funky side of yourself. Also, accepts cringe, "flop" things, and more. It heavily goes against the stigma that those with traits that make the individual "weird" should either be sugar-coated or the individual should rather try to "fit in" and erase their "weird" traits. Rather, instead, it encourages that the individual loves the traits for how they are, as they are a part of themselves.

Sitting in class with my mask on rn :) More than half of the people I know have gotten COVID and I haven’t. Anecdotal evidence but I’ll take it as reason enough to continue masking!
not to be a pessimist on the main blog, but i struggle with the fact that even the most radical leftists i know have almost all gone back to life as usual without wearing masks in public. people who I've sat in community with and talked about changing the world, just to see them not change a tiny aspect of their life to protect vulnerable people.
yes, we've been structurally failed on every level of this pandemic. and also yes, i can't take someone seriously in their ideals and morals if wearing a goddamn mask in public was too much for them. i could rant about this more but I'll just get upset lol.
please wear a mask if you've stopped doing so.

Obscurian Masterpost
[Sidenote: This is not the coining post, but it will go into more detail than the original since it's newer. See the original here.]
Obscurian is an umbrella term for genders (and sometimes other identities) that are unable to be named, quantified, understood, explained, comprehended, and/or determined. More broadly, it may define a vague, unknowable, or unexplainable experience, among other things. Obscurian experiences might just be ones that are unable to be named, quantified, etc., but it can also include things connected to more metaphorical concepts that cause obscurity, like fog or darkness.
Obscurian is not the same as questioning. It may be used as an umbrella for other labels, or as a stand-alone identity of its own.
It is an umbrella term, and as such can describe a very wide variety of experiences and terms. It isn't a xenogender, but it does fall under kenochoric.
The flag
The flag was never originally discussed or described, but some history will be explained here, as the original coiner.
The original flag (with 5 stripes) was meant to represent things that could distort one's vision or understanding of something, which is why it used dark and "creepy" colors. I also used purple since it's kenochoric. The new flag had been designed since some people didn't like the old one or thought it was unoriginal, so this has a different meaning.
The new flag was made with the idea of the black representing no knowledge, to the light yellow representing near infinite knowledge. This is because both extremes will cause someone to be unable to understand, quantify, name, explain, etc. what's happening in front of them. I preferred it since it seemed more inclusive of different ways something might become incomprehensible or unexplained.
Sublabels
Obscurian has a few coined subterms. Some are new to this post. Ones that aren't will be linked on their titles.
Basics:
OBSIN: Obscurian-in-nature. Anything that's obscurian-y.
Obsic: Being aligned to obscurian. Similar to xenic and kenic.
Obscurine or Obscine: Obscurian quality, like feminine or masculine.
Obscure attraction: Attraction that is in some way obscurian. Also called obscurianal attraction, which has been coined.
Haze: An obscurian person; similar to "boy" and "girl."
Leer: An obscurian person; similar to "man" and "woman."
(Note: While haze is more associated with boy/girl and leer to man/woman, you don't need to be an adult/minor to use whichever you prefer.)
Subterms:
Obsernic: An obscurian aldernic subterm.
Obscurique: A gender that may feel strong, stable, and prominent when left unlabeled, but becomes distorted, unstable, non-existent, and/or changing when attempting to label or define it
Inscurian: When someone is obscurian because they're intersex.
Antanaver: A gender that represents the desire to be acknowledged, but cannot be, or does not want to be, perceived. It only shows as a mirror of the truth, rather than true reality.
Gendercipher: A gender related to ciphers, cryptology, and/or secret codes. Only sometimes counts as obscurian.
Valeogender: A gender that grows and develops over time, rather than changing. Considered obscurian since you don't really know where it's going to go next.

hey there! i just saw ur cervimasc post and omg i love it a lot but i was wondering if you were willing to make a feminine version?? it's totally okay if not, i was just wondering!
Hi! I'm not sure how long ago this was sent, but I just saw it cause I admittedly barely know how to use Tumblr. Sorry for the delay! I would be willing to make a fem version, but I would like some more input on what exactly you'd want it to look like, since cervimasc ties into the "masculine" imagery of antlers and also into the wildmasculine label. Like, are you looking for the same exact thing but with bucks relating to femininity instead, or a doe related gender? Is wildfeminine something you'd be interested in? Lmk and I'll see what I can do :)

transadromos 🐟
a gender modality related to transitioning in one direction and then another.
root word is “dromos” meaning “to run,” specifically from “anadromous” and adjacent terms which refer to patterns of fish migration. anadromous species include salmon and some species of sturgeon. these fish are born in freshwater rivers, swim down to the ocean where they mature, and then return to their freshwater home to lay eggs.
someone who identifies as transadromos may feel that they are transitioning “back” to a gender state that they previously left, or venturing to a new one.
ID: a 5 striped flag, with red as the top stripe, then white, light blue, blue-green, and dark blue-green. the symbol on the flag is an arrow that circles back on itself. the second image is the same thing minus the symbol.
