Please take the time to complete our survey. Your feedback is important.

Eighth Annual Survey!!! (Don’t worry, fediverse is an option for where you got the link from ;)

Wondering if you can take it? From the source…

"Most people fit tidily into one of these categories:

Woman/girl - all the time, solely, and completely (may be cisgender or transgender)

Man/boy - all the time, solely, and completely (may be cisgender or transgender)

This survey intends to collect information about everyone who DOESN’T fit into this system. Anyone who doesn’t feel like they fit into one of these two boxes is invited to participate. There are no geographical restrictions.

If you hesitate or struggle to place yourself into just one of the two boxes, or if you know for sure that these boxes were not made for you, please do continue!"

Please spread it! They don’t do any advertising so it’s entirely word of mouth, and last year there were over 20,000 responses!

    I know this might be trolling or bad faith, but I do feel the need to mention this for anyone who might be wondering…

    the survey does include cis as an option. There are nonbinary people who identify as cis, or who fluctuates between cis and nb identities, or anything really. The census is really trying it’s hardest to get as many non binary people as they can to properly represent the diversity of gender outside of 100% always soley completely girl or boy.

    So if there are people who think of themselves as sometimes, faintly, and/or partly a cis girl, you can take this census.

    But also everything the other responder said. Historically it did say nonbinary census but they felt that the use of nonbinary was dissuading people from taking the census that should be taking it, namely people who use cis, ironically enough.

        Why exclude cis people in the first place?

        people who experience gender as binary are simply not part of the group being examined. if you were collecting data on the number of people with green eyes who are left-handed, you wouldn’t want responses from people with brown eyes who are left-handed because they aren’t the group you’re looking into.

        this survey already gets a ton of responses. if anyone could take it, the author would have a helluva lot more work to do

        sorry, in most internet interactions I’ve had people who say this

        Someone will come and say “it’s not discrimination if it’s against a majority” and I disagree.

        usually are coming from a bad faith argument. Gut instinct from being in communities that were destroyed because of people who would say stuff like this.

        I saw others explaining very well your other points, but haven’t seen anyone link to the page so you can see past results! It’s posted on their Tumblr page @ gendercensus or on the website https://gendercensus.com/

        As a note, the raw data is in a Google doc so keep that in mind.

        Question, do you have any recommendation for a different survey name? It’s easy to dismiss, but the name was thoughtfully chosen and the new name did help to bring in and represent far more people.
