The 2024 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.

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!

Voting ended onApr 10, 2024

Note/Edit: I am not an artist, I have no clue how the weird art edits would turn out XD

I'm going to make some of everything, I'm just basing the amount of everything on the votes :) every 3% will mean at least one post of that type.

I voted in the last one and refuse to commit voter fraud

Voting ended onApr 18, 2024

Changed the answers slightly because I didn't expect so many people to want weird art :0c I just threw it in for spice and was expecting to make one or two :0c

Also the first poll is still valid, I'll do calculations to combine them. And the voter fraud thing is a joke you're welcome to vote again
