It's funny how every evidence-based study finds this exact same result. Where is the flood of detransitioners we were promised years ago? Where are the whistleblowers of doctors "forcing" teens to transition? That's right, they don't exist.

The 2025 Gender Census is now open!
[ Link to survey ]
The 12th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 30th August 2025.
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.
If you can't wait for survey numbers, you can click here for a public spreadsheet of non-secret info with graphs as it comes in, updated manually a few times per day.
Thank you so much!

It's been about 7 hours and there are now over 4,000 responses! Reblogging with that nice update, and to catch people in a different timezone, and also to show off the traditional public participation spreadsheet of non-secret data, which I plan to update a few times per day.
And now it is midnight and I should go to sleep. :D
Tomorrow I will hopefully be able to send the press release out to a few niche LGBTQ+ publications. This is my latest step in the ongoing mission to bring in as many different kinds of people as possible.
Edit: During its busiest hour so far, the survey was getting about 16 responses per minute - one every 3.8 seconds. Whaaaaaaaaaat
why have us queer people as a community normalized terms like "boygirl" or "girlboy" or other things like that but not like. the actual experience of being multigender. i swear some people will be like "ahaha its so cool and swag to be a #girlboy #boygirl" then turn around and be like "MEN DNI THIS POST IS ABOUT WOMEN" "MEN CANT BE LESBIANS (because no man is ever a woman too)" etc etc like come on guys
EDIT: i added an entire rant about this here
people also do this with xenogenders
"thats so gender" (at a picture of an eldritch abomination)
"call me she/her like one does with a boat"
"call me he/him like one does with an unfamiliar dog"
"this (nonhuman trait) gives me so much gender envy"
all while claiming they cant possibly wrap their heads around the concept of people who actually only have those types of experiences to describe their gender,
and GOD FORBID someone says something along these lines, not realizing what it really means, only for one of us freaks they dont understand to relate; "no no no im not like that, i have the normal kind of gender envy from wearing all black and being an amorphous blob, not the kind thats abstract and weird"
“thats so gender” (at
a picture of an eldritch
abomination)
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
if a person who was cafab talked about how they dont care about gender and are fine with any pronouns, yall would immediately be able to tell that theyre somewhere in the realm of nonbinary / transmasc and would have no problem with using those pronouns, and at the very least wouldnt call them a cis woman. but when a person who was camab says the same fucking thing, yall are incapable of seeing or referring to them as anything except a cis man, For Some Inexplicable Reason!
I love public transit
shout out to trans it/its users in public

We will literally never progress past biphobia until people realize that bisexuals in het relationships are still having a queer experience by virtue of being bisexual, we do not magically oscillate between gay enough and too straight. I’m going to maul someone to death.
It is very revealing when sex-negative Puritans accuse a person of pedophilia simply for dating a person who is short, or who looks vaguely young... they conceive of the problem being the wrong kind of attraction, rather than the exploitation of power.
and once you believe attraction itself can be inherently damaging, it is not a leap to claim that a person cannot ever fantasize or masturbate to a friend without their consent, for example, or even just that being openly gay is child abuse/grooming. it is a reactionary position. but you see lots of queer people believing in some form of it.
They hate it when u dont abide by the same imaginary rules that they force themselves to live under
It's funny how every evidence-based study finds this exact same result. Where is the flood of detransitioners we were promised years ago? Where are the whistleblowers of doctors "forcing" teens to transition? That's right, they don't exist.
Only 4% of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36%.”
Nearly all respondents who were receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy (98%) or who had received gender-affirming surgery (97%) reported increased life satisfaction.
I doubt there's a single other type of medical treatment with numbers like this.
I'm dealing with migraine meds right now and even the fancy new preventatives have a 50% chance of working for you at all.
We really don't talk enough how miraculous HRT is. Nobody does it like her.

I'm just gonna leave this here...
I do wish that "oppositional sexism" was a more commonly known term. It was coined as part of transmisogyny theory, and is defined as the belief that men and women, are distinct, non-overlapping categories that do not share any traits. If gender was a venn diagram, people who believe in oppositional sexism think that "men" and "women" are separate circles that never touch.
The reason I think that it's a useful term is that it helps a lot with articulating exactly why a lot of transphobic people will call a cis man a girl for wearing nail polish, then turn around and call a trans woman a man. Both of those are enforcement of man and woman as non-overlapping social categories. It's also a huge part of homophobia, with many homophobes considering gay people to no longer really belong to their gender because they aren't performing it to their satisfaction.
It's a large part of the reason behind arguments that men and women can't understand each other or be friends, and/or that either men or women are monoliths. If men and women have nothing in common at all, it would be difficult for them to understand each other, and if all men are alike or all women are alike, then it makes sense to treat them all the same. Enforcing this rift is particularly miserable for women and men in close relationships with each other, but is often continued on the basis that "If I'm not a real man/woman, they won't love me anymore."
One common "progressive" form of oppositional sexism is an idea often put as the "divine feminine", that women are special in a way that men will never understand. It's meant to uplift women, but does so in ways that reinforce the idea that men and women are fundamentally different in ways that can never be reconciled or transcended. There's a reason this rhetoric is hugely popular among both tradwifes and radical feminists. It argues that there is something about women that men will never have or know, which is appealing when you are trying to define womanhood in a way that means no man is or ever has been a part of it.
You'll notice that nonbinary people are sharply excluded from the definition. This doesn't mean it doesn't apply to them, it means that oppositional sexism doesn't believe nonbinary people of any kind exist. It's especially rough on multigender people who are both men and women, because the whole idea of it is that men and women are two circles that don't overlap. The idea of them overlapping in one person is fundamentally rejected.
I think it's a very useful term for talking about a lot of the problems that a lot of queer people face when it comes to trying to carve out a place for ourselves in a society that views any deviation from rigid, binary categories as a failure to perform them correctly.
If I can add, oppositional sexism is a cornerstone of evangelicalism and honestly a whole bunch of other forms of Christianity. The idea women and men exist for different tasks is deeply religious but specifically in the US and I assume for the majority of tradwives evangelical/conservative christian dogma. So even when ppl who proport to be somewhere feminist start up divine feminine shit they're regurgitating the same talking points the religious right started doing.
Yep. I believe they refer to it as "Complimentarianism".
