There's a bit of an unofficial test survey going on: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's testing some questions to see how they feel to participants, trying to find good wording, and to see if it's possible to ask about sex assigned at birth in a way that's comfortable for nonbinary people.

I have a proper Gender Census online shop now!

shop.gendercensus.com

So far it only has two #zines in it, but still, I'm chuffed - this will be better than PayPal sell-on-social links!

Big thank you to Andréa and Avery for their advice, patience, and sometimes just straight-up doing-it-for-me. 💜

The big 2024 annual survey is now closed! A big thank you to everyone who took part, and to everyone who helped get the word out to as many genderly-interesting people as possible - an epic, record-breaking year!

Officially, there are 3 days left on the 11th annual international Gender Census 2024. In reality, I'm pretty busy this week so it'll probably stay open a few days longer.

There have been over 47,000 responses so far.

The day before parliament was dissolved, the UK government used an obscure emergency process to make possession of puberty blockers for new treatment of trans kids illegal, and punishable by up to 2 years in prison.

The Good Law Project is challenging it in court: goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

We just topped 44,700 participants, which means we've broken the all-time record that was set in 2021! :O

Here's some comparisons of Twitter, Tumblr, Bluesky and Mastodon/the Fediverse that I just threw together. TL;DR: Tumblr performs best, and Twitter does very badly despite the age of account and the follower count. Mastodon easily beats Twitter in every way.

Less than 900 responses until we beat the all-time record.

Lets give that gender census a boost. 🎉 If you dont feel your gender is captured by clear binary gender categories, participate in this amazing survey. If not, you can still forward it to your friends, families, piano teachers, dog sitters and postal workers.

There have now been over 37,000 responses to the Gender Census this year so far!

That's an annual survey for people whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't adequately described/expressed by the white Western M/F gender binary.

Open until 13th June: survey.gendercensus.com

35,000 responses as of 2 days ago! It's especially helpful to share among LGBTQ+ groups who are: - Age 25 or older - Outside of the USA - Not white Only 18% of respondents are over 31, and over half are in the USA, so it really helps to get the word out to as many different places as possible.

Oh yes, I was thinking about comparable microblogging platforms to compare activity and engagement and whatnot, but Tumblr is always the most active platform for this project by a very long way! :)

So, for follower-to-reblog ratio, Bluesky is definitely winning, but the account is brand new so that might not be representative! And Mastodon is definitely winning over Twitter.

The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

2022 and 2023 promo art featured ungenderable spacey stuff and planty stuff. What cool, colourful and ungenderable thing should 2024 be, d'you reckon?

@support.bsky.team Hello! I'm not receiving a confirmation code. I've requested it several times, it's been probably 12 hours (or more?), it's not in junk/spam, and I've double-checked the spelling of my email address. Any ideas? :S

Anyone know where I can find stats on *active* Bluesky accounts/users? (As opposed to total accounts on Bluesky.)

Hello! This is an account for the Gender Census, an annual survey of gender-diverse people about the language we use to describe ourselves. So far so good, my confirmation code is not arriving, and I joined mere hours after the founder left the network apparently??
