The 10th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 9th May 2023.
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.
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.
Tuesday 9th May 2023 - day 31, 0 days left but still open somehow
As usual, I am delayed closing the survey. 😅 This time, I’m delayed by a busy day, followed by a 10pm migraine. I do have a couple of mostly-quiet weeks coming up, so I think I’ll aim to close the survey tomorrow and start working on it. Not to jinx it immediately, but I think/hope this will be one of the years where you don’t have to wait 4 months for the results report??
Anyway, you have at least 12 more hours to participate, just in case you’ve not gotten around to it yet. :) It only takes 5 minutes, do it now!!
In other news, this evening we topped 40,000 responses, whaaaaaaaaat!!!
