Only 60 more participants needed to hit 15,000. :)
Does your gender defy all boundaries? Do you confuse the government? Have you walked into a single-sex public restroom and woobled into another dimension?
If so, this survey is for you:

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. 👌
Quoting
The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026!
https://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.

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: https://survey.gendercensus.com

We also have our first Known Bug:
Some people are reporting that the multiple-choice input lists are invisible.
➡️ Reloading the page fixes it. ⬅️
This will bump you back to the start of the survey, but don't worry, your answers will have been saved - you'll just have to skip through any pages you've already done first.
I've reported it to Tally (the survey provider) and added some advice text to the pages where the bug is likely to happen.
I'm really sorry for the confusion, folks!

Currently getting between 3 and 4 responses per minute. :)

... and some #nonbinary sparkly merino handwarmers, since they sold really fast last time. :D
https://shop.gendercensus.com/product/nonbinary-flag-sparkly-handwarmers/
#handmade #ForSale #ad
Just a quick note to let you know that there is a really good selection of handwarmers in the [UK-based] Gender Census shop right now, including new pride flags:
- Trans (sparkly)
- Nonbinary (sparkly)
- Pansexual (non-sparkly)
- Bisexual (sparkly)
(And zines and fidgets!)
Shipping note: I can't ship to the EU or N. Ireland due to GPSR, but you *can* get things sent to a non-EU friend.

Here's some incoming participation statistics on a public Google Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tSBvZSKI1Y2HHbEiHn-Duf8cPLALXv3u2T6Y9eC5jkI/edit
I have to update it manually so that'll be every few hours, max.

Love to see the latest "nonbinary legal recognition" UK petition!
Sign: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/738780/
Graph: https://petition-track.uk/check-petition/738780
Deadline: 24 March 2026
Progress: 607 of 10,000 signatures for a response from the Government, or 100,000 for a debate in parliament.
You can sign if you live in the UK (regardless of citizenship) or if you're a British citizen (regardless of where you live).
Please boost if you know you have UK followers! 🚀
Only 25% of participants are over 30, so older people are under-represented in the survey results.
Over-30s tend to find the survey via the mailing list emails and Facebook. Might you be up for sharing this Facebook post to your profile or to a local LGBTQ+ group?

You can also subscribe to the mailing list, so that when the survey opening email arrives you can easily forward the email to people you think might be interested!

I feel like the Fediverse will appreciate this:
A new referring website is about to make it into the top 20, assuming that one more person comes to the survey from there.
It's https://tildes.net which seems to be maybe some kind of open source link aggregator. The Gender Census is currently at the top of https://tildes.net/~lgbt
It looks pretty good!

@tendstofortytwo@social.treehouse.systems Ha, no, I always miss something - it WAS the test survey but now it is the REAL survey and responses will be saved. I forgot to edit that message because I was making a redirect page on my website. 🙄 Thank you!
Edit: Here's the end-of-survey page, in case you missed it: https://www.gendercensus.com/thank-you/
UK folks in the mood for a little bit of armchair activism, search online for your local library and check if the catalogue contains this book.
If it does, contact your library and ask them to remove it. The article below has some talking points.
Greetings!
The Gender Census is an annual English language survey of everyone internationally whose experience of their gender (or lack thereof) doesn't fit the male/female binary.
It's been going for over 10 years, run by an enthusiastic amateur volunteer, and these days it gets over 40,000 responses per annual survey. All results are written up into a report and published at https://www.gendercensus.com.

@cass@dice.camp It's the 14th survey but it's not the 14th *annual* survey - the first one was not very rigorous and it was followed by a gap year, so I don't count it!

Hm, annual subscriptions as they currently stand don't seem to quite fit my needs either.
1) Subscriptions can renew on the 1st of the month that the person first subscribed, but I want to only charge *everyone* all at once, once per year.
2) It's a bit ambiguous but it looks like if you allow annual subscriptions you might also have to accept monthly subscriptions? Which I do not want.

@Twotired@universeodon.com I don't know whether it's published anywhere else, how library systems work anywhere else, or whether libraries consider removing books anywhere else! But if you know about libraries anywhere else, please do feel free to QT the original post with info about how to speak to your local library about it.

@kevinrns@mstdn.social @tauon@possum.city I'm not going to do that, it sounds like it would be super disruptive for the disabled people who need the alt text to be concise and accurate and helpful.

@laumapret@toot.lv Yes fair, it takes a loooong time to load. So maybe a bit of both might be good then. Brief overview, and a link to the spreadsheet for nosier people?
Replying to
@catraxx@tech.lgbt It's free for all functions for me and everyone else, it doesn't require someone to have an account to download or even just view the data and my calculations, it's accessible and user-friendly in terms of disability, glitches are rare, and I'm good at using it. Since the data is collected outside of Google, individual submissions can't be connected to specific people/locations by Google.

@ariaflame@masto.ai I did wonder about calling them that, but they feel too simple to call them mittens, so I thought that perhaps if I said they were fingerless gloves/mittens I might be overselling them a bit...! :D I may be overthinking, I do that a lot...

@Dragon_playing_with_pearl@defcon.social Thank you for participating! :)

@catraxx@tech.lgbt You said "Is there a reason to actually use specifically google spreadsheets?" and I told you why I do!
Replying to
@__manish@mstdn.social Ahh yes, I get you, and I like that. :) Okay, that seems doable.
Another thing I've just realised might be a factor - if the spreadsheet with more detail is a Google Sheet that takes many many minutes to load because it's extremely complicated, does that affect your answer?
