i become painfully aware of my own body
getting dressed in the morning
when my shirt tightens around my chest
and tugs on my waist
when i open my mouth
and soprano notes emerge
from my red lips
and soft jaw
and i am painfully aware of the fact
that i am not a boy
You deserve to be loved and accepted, and one day you will find a family

The ninth annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2022.
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, retweet this tweet, boost this Mastodon post, check out this post on Reddit, share this Facebook 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 44,000 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.
Thank you so much!

it's okay if you don't want everyone to use your chosen name.
it's okay if you (as an example) want your family to keep using your given name but everyone else should call you by your chosen name.
you're not less trans or valid because of it. identity is a complex thing.
i love you.
You are valid <3
