Ohhh The Misery Everypony Wants To Be My Enemy

see now THIS is how you do an introductory google form

I bring a sort of "can't read social cues" vibe to every social situation that I can't tell if anyone likes or not

*touching his extremely defined six pack* who did this to you.....

as an entire queer trans allosexual i think it's weird when other allosexuals don't like the term allosexual for themselves. it just means not asexual. smacks of cis people who scream and howl and pee their pants about being called cis

The 2024 Gender Census is now open!

[ Link to survey ]

The 11th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th June 2024.

It’s short and easy, about 5 minutes probably.

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 - it’s what helped us get 40,000 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.

For the curious, you can also spy on some graphs and demographic data for the incoming responses here.

Thank you so much!

respectability politics DO NOT WORK on a large scale. if every single transexual were to be gender conforming, straight, quiet, never ask for more than the bare minimum, conservatives, maybe they wouldnt hate us. but. if transexuals don’t have the right to be nonconforming and weird then we aren’t free, we’re suffocating ourselves in the name of protection.

And the world said "I'll hurt you " and I said "I've had worse",

and the world said "I'll hate you" and I said "I tried that, it doesn't work",

and the world said "your body is wrong and it will rot",

and I said "it's doing so already, but no wonder you forgot",

and the world said "I'd rather you didn't exist",

and I said "you do you, man, but I'm going to stay here",

and the world fell apart 'cause it had nothing more to say,

and I played in its guts 'till it started to rain,

and the rain washed the world whole and it said "sorry dude,

I wanted to be gentle, it's just easier to be rude",

and I said "yeah, I saw your big heart,

I just think it'd be wiser if we stayed apart",

and the world said "that would be for the best"

and flew off into the stars and I finally

got to rest.
