Hey everyone, the 2018 Intersex Inclusion Survey has come to a close and I am finally getting around to posting results. We received over 2,000 responses - and I apologize for not updating when we hit 1,000. The 2019 Intersex Inclusion Survey is now open and included in the link below.
As always if you have any questions or suggestions you can feel free to ask me. I found this to be very interesting and if you want to know a specific demographic or data set, you can send me an ask and I will try to get back to you.
Once again this survey is not to make any sort of official decision on intersex inclusion, but simply because I and friends were curious and wanted to see what people’s opinions were.
As a note, I will be compiling a post that is just what intersex people responded. However, this takes a bit more time than the general results so it may be a few days to a few weeks.
