The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

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!

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!

When does a footnote become a paragraph??

Do you ever look at a girl and just think; I’m so gay?

[chaosgremiln]

My uncle came over today, he was wearing a beanie, Doc Martens and basically every other bisexual piece of clothing. Should I stalk his behaviour to see if he is secretly a closeted bisexual?

Quoiromantic, quoisexual, Demi sexual, Demi romantic, lesbian, genderfluid,

[gingers-emotes]

Don't say when, say "if".

Instead of telling a little girl "When get a boyfriend when you're older", tell her, "If you get a boyfriend when you're older."

Don't tell a boy "When you want to date later in life", tell him, "If you want to date later in life."

Instead of telling a teen "When you start experimenting with things in college", them, "If you start experimenting with things in college."

Don't tell your preteen "When you start having sex as an adult", tell them, "If you start having sex as an adult."

Edit :: Don't tell a teenager "When you have kids..." tell them "If you have kids". :: Edit end

Don't tell them when. Don't pressure them to go on a predefined path.

Tell them 'if'.

reblog to share this around . please .

it is violently unanimous that people think :when you have kids: should be on here too so that's where the edit comes from

[chaosgremiln]

I despise the idea of having children.

It’s nearly pride month, you know what that means it’s time for y’all yearly reminder;

THIS IS NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR TRANSPHOBES,

ASEXUAL/AROMANTIC EXCLUSIONISTS,

AROMANTIC/ASEXUAL PHOBES,

HOMOPHOBES, BIPHOBES, PANPHOBES AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY “invalid label” TO ANYONE IN THE QUEER COMMUNITY

(apart from those who use the “it’s a label” to push sick ideas like being attracted to children)

And finally anyone who supports, voted for, or likes trump and the surrounding policies.

Go fuck yourselves ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙🖤🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤍

US Book ban on LGBTQIA books

The Nationwide Book Ban Bill Moves to the House: How to Take Action Now

The nationwide book ban bill, HR 7661, has progressed out of committee and into the House. Here's what you need to know to take action.

At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.

Stop the bill dead in its tracks. LGBTQIA people have a right to be represented in books.

Ai is taking over our lives and reducing effort to the bare minimum, soon maybe people won’t be able to experience the Shakespearean magic of hand writing. Human art and writing is dying and it is a crisis.

I’ve lost so many versions of myself,

I finally find one that feels less like faking,
