I know that transgender polls are covered by @transgenderpolls but I thought it still might be fun to have a transmasc focused blog. This is for polls for everyone on the transmasc spectrum (or specific subsections of people on the transmasc spectrum) or for comparison between transmasc and non-transmasc folks. Please try to avoid femininely gendered language in any polls directed generally at transmascs.
It looks like there is also @nonbinary-polls and @nonbinarypolls
I’m a nonbinary trans guy. I also run @nonbinarymlm
If no one submits polls then I’ll create them. I have the right to reject polls that I deem inappropriate. If you harass people or are a bigot I will block you.

FAQ after break
- Do you have to be trans masculine to submit polls?
No. That would be an impossible rule to enforce and there are legit reasons why others might want to do polls for transmascs.
- Are repeat polls allowed?
Only after four months. If the original poll was posted four or more months ago, then sure. I feel at that point this blog/tumblr will have changed enough for the poll to potentially reach different people and get different results. It’ll be tagged “repeat poll”. So before submitting a poll, check if anything really similar has been submitted in the past four months.
- Will you take “is X identity / X term valid” polls?
No, they’re not super interesting and likely to incite useless discourse that can even be bigoted. Topics about how people identify or lived experiences are more interesting to me anyway.
- Will you tag triggering topics?
I can’t tag all of them, but I will tag “genital mention”, “dysphoria mention”, “sex mention”, “transphobia”, “SA mention”, and “transphobic violence” for polls that mention those topics. If there’s another trigger you’d like me to tag, ask me directly and I will if I can.
- What counts as femininely gendered language?
Well, “feminine”, “girly”, “womanly”, etc. If you’re making a poll specifically for transmascs who self-identify with that language (like women who also identify as transmasculine) then that’s fine, but don’t apply it to transmascs in general or arbitrary groups of transmascs. Also, please use direct language to refer to body parts instead of stuff like “female body”, which doesn’t even really mean anything.
- Why does this blog exist?
For fun and community.
- How would you feel about a blog like this existing for transfeminine people or all nonbinary people or intersex people or such?
I think that would be great. If you’re interested in doing that then I would be happy to support that and spread the word.
This seems more oriented toward Transmascs who identify as male so I added an extra nonbinary option for Transmasc nonbinary people who don’t really fit this poll, but nonbinary trans men or other nonbinary transmascs who relate are welcome to answer IMO. If you intended a specific audience of transmascs then let me know, anon!
