In other news, I have been mega-Blazed on Tumblr (someone gave the survey post a 2,000 impressions in 24h Blaze and Tumblr decided to bump it up to 100,000 in 24h for free) and now I'm scared to check my Tumblr activity page and I got 8 anon asks overnight 🙈 It's VERY GOOD for the survey but a lot!
Gender Census
@gendercensus.bsky.social
An annual survey of the language gender-divergent people use to describe ourselves. Results are made freely available in full. Website: https://www.gendercensus.com
People are being super cute about this, reaching out to make friends with all the people who share their unusual names and such! 🥰 WhatsApp groups where everyone has the same obscure nonbinary name and they just share good recipes and pet photos?
The nonbinary names survey is now closed and the report is up! gendercensus.tumblr.com/post/8238848... There were over 10,000 participants, and over 20,000 names. #nonbinary #trans
Trans folks, tell us the story of your name! Our vision is to uplift the trans renaming process an act of trans self-determination rooted in intersectional trans herstory, culture, and kinship. reclaimournames.com/namestories/ #transnames
Share the Story of Your name!
We want to hear the story of your name! We are currently inviting two-spirit, trans, intersex, agender, genderfluid, and non-binary people to share their name stories — both those who have ch…

2026 nonbinary name survey: results
While the big annual survey continues (until 13th August), I'm here to give you the results of the nonbinary name survey! This is on the blog because it's technically a side survey for fun. The survey...

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ
Another survey-based research project, not mine this time - they want to know your name-choosing story. :)
relatedly, I'm collecting trans name-choosing stories to develop a workbook to help choose new names: forms.gle/dCBE8Yaj43e2... The how and why, what needed to happen before one felt empowered to change names, etc.
Thanks to a Tumblr 🔥BLAZE🔥 that the Tumblr mods decided deserved an extra boost, the survey is getting 24 hours of free advertising on Tumblr! So, we just reached 27,000 ahead of expectations, very noice. 👌

Hi folks! 13 days left and we're well on the way to 27,000 participants, about 300 to go. I have nerdily added some notes to some graphs so that I can see what affects the numbers. If your gender is a rare and valuable Limited Edition, please click here to do the survey: survey.gendercensus.com

Day 15, and 25,000 responses! :) If you're confident finding your own gendery way (or you're content to be genderly lost), do our survey: survey.gendercensus.com #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #survey
Check out this fun graph that Google Sheets made on the public participation spreadsheet very briefly while I was updating it. :D PS: If your gender does this sometimes, do the survey: survey.gendercensus.com
On the referrers tab of the participation spreadsheet, 16 people arrived at the survey from a flyer. The next one up is Twitter (22 people). It would be so funny to me if "flyer/leaflet" could be above Twitter, because Elon Musk is a knobhead. Printable flyers here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
We're getting close to 25,000 responses, which is great! Maybe sometime this evening or very early tomorrow? Take this survey if you're genderly-interesting: survey.gendercensus.com #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

I'm not sure how likely it is, but if we manage to get about 450 more submissions in the next 8 hours or so, that'll be 23,000 by the end of the day. :) In theory very attainable, as most days of the survey so far have been over 1,000!
