Second Edition Xenogender Survey

Hello, tumblr! I am pleased to present our second edition of the xenogender survey, first held in 2023.

This survey is intended to be a detailed look at xenogender and neopronoun usage. As long as you identify as/with at least one (1) xenogender in any capacity, either solely or in addition to non-xenogender identities, you may participate in the survey!

Please take a moment to consider reblogging this even if you aren’t taking the survey, in order to increase our sample size!

There is no DNI or anything else that disqualifies takers as long as you identify with / as at least one xenogender, as this is intended for research purposes.

The survey will be ending on June 1, 2025.

Xenogender Survey 2025

Hello! If you are taking this survey, please consider taking a moment to reblog the post on tumblr and/or share this with anyone you know wh

Just come to my ask box and tell me stuff about yourself. Your pets. Your favorite music. What you had for breakfast this morning. Literally anything you want, I love making new friends

Okay for a split second, can we just talk about how fucking stubborn and stupidly brave Alex is?!

Like, after the interview with the abducted Jane Doe and encountered the doctor for the first time, who’s entrance was obviously meant to intimidate them, they discovered the the hidden camera in her room when rewatching their conversations. And their first reaction is to go BACK to the asylum, and sneak into other patients rooms to see if they also had hidden cameras.

Not to mention, Alex said that after running out of foundation employees to talk to, they interviewed “patients”, PLURAL. Jane Doe was just the more specific and emphasized one.

This means that, unless Alex somehow managed to cram multiple interviews in one night, Alex had to have possibly snuck into the asylum at least once or twice before the night of interviewing patient Doe, and then at least once again after the fact to try and look for the cameras—

All before the night they stayed late and took off the goggles, went home to get the camcorder, and then came back before finally discovering room 66.

Alex could not have done all this, especially after being caught by Lankmann the first time, without the anxiety of being watched or discovered. But they went anyway.

And, the most blasphemous thing of all, let’s not forget about the MOTHERFUCKING CRYPTID HAUNTING THE TOWN, ONE SO DANGEROUS THAT THERE HAD TO BE A CURFEW SET: CLYDE!

Alex snuck INTO AND OUT OF THE ASYLUM, MULTIPLE TIMES, KNOWING THE RISK OF EITHER BEING CAUGHT BY THE DOCTOR OR THE LOCAL BOOGEYMAN!!

Alex, I love you and you’re one of my favorite characters so far BUT DO YOU NOT HAVE A SINGLE SENSE OF SELF PRESERVATION?!

[xzbat-loverzx]

YES THAT TOO

AND ALSO THE FACT THAT BEFORE THEY WERE HIRED BY THE ASYLUM, ALEX SAID THAT THEY WERE MONITORED PRACTICALLY 24/7 BY THE FOUNDATION

WHOS TO SAY THAT THE MONITORING DIDN’T STOP AND THAT LANKMANN KNOWS THAT THEY’RE RESEARCHING “SOMEONE DANGEROUS” AND SHIT

AND THAT LANKMANN ALSO POSSIBLY “DISPOSED” OF THE PERSON ALEX “KNOWS AND CARES ABOUT”

BUT THEY STILL GO INTO WORK(FROM WHAT WE KNOW)

LANKMANN HAS KILLED, WILL KILL AGAIN, MOST LIKELY KILLED SOMEONE CLOSE TO ALEX, AND YET THEY STILL FUCKING GO IN?!

hiiii eternal sugar 😊

you are invited to their party!

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

[yeahwrite]

Writers: It's asking to read your Google Docs and be able to 'summarize' things from them and such things. I just turned all mine off.

[last-starry-sky]

Because this isn't mentioned above, also go to google.com/drive/settings and turn off all the annoying bits that interface directly with docs there.

This is all in the "privacy" tab of your settings. How fun that everything is hidden two layers deep. 🙄 This DOESN'T get rid of the stupid little star constantly asking you to use it, unfortunately, but that's what the picker in ublock is for. 😉

[buf309]

More detail instructions for OP's post for those who are confused. This is done from the browser on my laptop, I don't know what they look like on phones.

When you click the first link gemini.google.com/extensions, you need to click on the setting icon at the bottom, then choose "Extension", like this:

Scroll down a bit, you will see the options, turn them all off.

Then, you click on the second link myactivity.google.com/product/gemini, you'll see it tells you that it's already "turn off". NO! IT'S NOT! You have to click on that "Turn off" option, it'll drop down a menu like this:

Turn that thing off. Until that button shows you have to click to turn it back on like this:

And then, click on the delete button down there too, even if it says there's nothing to delete, just do it as a caution.

After you's done with those two. You go to your Drive, find the Setting button.

Click on the "Privacy" tab, choose the button "Manage Workspace smart feature setting"

Tick both of those off, then click Save. Or if you still want to use Google AI assistant for some reasons, please read the fine lines very very carefully.

Only then, you can feel safe enough with this force AI assistant bullshit. FOR NOW 🤡 All these steps still can't get rid of that Gemini blinkblink icon though >:(((((

Repeat for every one of your google accounts 💀

To reiterate:

Trump's transphobic Executive Orders regarding healthcare and Federal documents are currently unenforceable and are not current actionable policy of the Federal government.

Do not despair.

Do not panic.

And most importantly: do not comply in advance.

Staying alive is a radical act as a trans person in Trump's America.

[rafeandonlyrafe]

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

[impsynia]

tiktok stunt haha funny. please talk about the ice raids

[impsynia]

even though theyre officially starting on tueaday once trump is in office the raids have already started in central california since sunday and idk where else. people havent been able to go to work becuz ice is literally patroling the streets and targeting places where majority brown people work. please keep aware and talk to ppl in your life who might not be

[ssfancypants]

[nicolethered]

FYI iPhone users!

[demonicae]

Oh... oh that's disgusting.

[cryoverkiltmilk]

For emphasis - YOU HAVE TO TURN THIS OFF FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL APP

[addamatic]

I am glad this is getting noticed, and also as someone who has been anti-siri for years … this has always been the case. You will have to do this every time you have an iOS update. Sometimes it toggles and sometimes it doesn’t. Even for “small” updates. You need to look every time.

[hyperbali]

I was curious, so I checked...

Artists, please note this is also happening to your iPad. TURN THAT SHIT OFF.

[raakhti]

what is HAPPENING

[moonglade-poetess]

Hey guys, with so much love, and as someone with an actual English degree:

Please just use Sparknotes if you're going to do this. I get it. I do. But chatgpt or other genAI shit doesn't actually know what's important for you to know, and in some cases it might fully make shit up. Use sparknotes. Failing that, talk to someone who did read it. I'm begging.

[dragongirlsweetie]

i'm gonna be honest i don't get why they say everypony instead of everybody in mlp. it's not like the word everybody is human-specific. the ponies have bodies. the word everypony, however, is pony-specific in a world where ponies are not the only people in their society, which means it would be more accurate and inclusive to use everybody instead of everypony. it all makes no sense to me

[microdyke]

maybe they all hate spike..?

oh my god

Me starting to copy the random noises my friends make

[bixels]

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

[bixels]

During a dinner with some tech students at my school, I explained my stance on this is to them and they asked why I don’t just use AI, and I told them bluntly that if I can’t draw my own art I will kill myself.

[bixels]

Last thing I’ll say is AI, when you strip away the ‘can you believe a computer made this!?’ techno gimmick, is so god damn boring. And the worst thing an artist can be is boring.*

*(I’m speaking specifically about the use of AI as a shortcut in art-making to avoid the creative process or as a replacement of real artists, especially in entertainment fields. There are cases in experimental/conceptual art where AI can be a valuable part of the process, but that’s not what I’m talking about here.)

[notsohappynotsosad]

Have you reconsidered embracing ceremorphosis?

[abcsofadhd]

If your ADHD is causing you to fuck up more, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the ADHD is getting worse.. you could just be doing more things which gives you more opportunity to fuck up.

This is one of the reasons, ADHD can get ‘worse’ as an adult. A child has very few responsibilities. An adult on the other hand, has all kinds of opportunities to fuck up on. 

[redshiftsinger]

Goes for other disabilities too. Sometimes it seems like it’s “getting worse” when what’s really happening is that circumstances have changed in a way that makes the symptoms more obvious and detrimental. 

[spoonie-living]

VERY important advice. Don’t beat yourself up. Adulting is HARD.

[xyzee1212]

i feel like this is important enough to put on here.

if you have any videos on youtube make sure this is unchecked
