"What is Your Gender Identity" Survey - Blåhaj Lemmy

Hi everyone, I made a survey to better gauge the demographics of this community. I don’t have any reason to, just doing it out of curiosity. I’m glad that everyone felt free to talk about it in detail and have some good discussion on my previous post, but it made it hard to count all those comments up. Someone suggested that I do this to get more accurate results. The poll ends on April 6th at 11pm. I’ll post the results when it’s over. You can also view the live results of the poll on the website. Might make a future one for sexuality. Data is fun, what can I say.

For a second there this community was 100% binary trans men, haha
Show threadcowboycrustation [he/him]Apr 4, 2024
Prediction: there will a higher percentage of genderfluid people because i misread some people’s comment on the other one

Give us a gender slider!

Cis men are heavily outnumbering even binary trans women right now…I think this leaked onto all
Show threadrxinApr 4, 2024
I think polls like this are susceptible to troll votes
Show threadEliseApr 4, 2024

I imagine that’s because the post can be seen by anyone, not just subscribers.

What really surprises me is how few binary transmen there are here. In my local community it’s roughly an even split.

Show threadSemivir [he/him, she/her]Apr 4, 2024

I noticed the same thing from the original pie chart OP posted. Turns out there is research supporting the hypothesis that there are less people identifying as transmasculine overall.

Still really interested to see what the results of this poll will be, keeping in mind that the numbers may be influenced by non-subscribers and users from across the fediverse.

Show threadEliseApr 4, 2024
I was under the impression that there were significantly more transmen than women worldwide.
Show threadZoopApr 4, 2024
I seem to know more transmasculine people and trans men than transfeminine people and trans women IRL, but online, in my experience, there’s always been way more trans women and transfeminine people than trans men and transmasculine people. AMABs regardless of gender or identity have always had the biggest hold on the Internet in my experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Show threadSemivir [he/him, she/her]Apr 4, 2024

Seems like a definitive answer requires more research with higher sample size.

I’ve also noticed a difference in online exposure, and the difference in subscriber counts between FtM and MtF communities on Blåhaj Lemmy also suggest it’s real thing.

But there’s also the possibility that people don’t want to identify with the “trans” label. Since modern models of gender identity require it to be treated as a high-dimensional vector, the spectrum representation probably doesn’t cut it for a larger amount of people than we might be aware of.

Show threadcowboycrustation [he/him]Apr 4, 2024
No, that’s not quite right. The source I posted just showed binary trans men as lower. Transmasculine nonbinary was a lot higher.

a lot of people are on this instance solely for 196 and/or because of v*ush
Show threadcowboycrustation [he/him]Apr 4, 2024
What is vush
Show threadGood Girl [she/they]Apr 4, 2024

vaush is a problematic internet debate nerd that a lot of younger baby leftists latch on to.

He recommended this instance because 196 had a comm here iirc.

His subreddit recommended it during the reddit/spez stuff.

196 also recommended blahaj.zone and they had a big vaush following in their userbase.

Show threadcowboycrustation [he/him]Apr 4, 2024
Why is vaush problematic? I’m out of the loop
Show threadGood Girl [she/they]Apr 4, 2024

He’s been known to have chaser-y tendencies, he’s been casually misogynistic and racist for the sake of winning “debates”, he’s been known to defend lowering the age of consent as well as the production of CSAM(child sexual abuse material), and most recently he’s been known to collect loli and zoophilic (not furry) hentai.

“problematic” was me being generous.

He’s the main reason 196 is so sectarian/“anti-tankie” as he has a lot of fans that post there.

Show threadcowboycrustation [he/him]Apr 4, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I’ll definitely avoid that guy’s channel.
Show threadCaitApr 5, 2024
Wow and here am I thinking it’s common sense to be anti tankie bc of 196
Show threadGood Girl [she/they]Apr 5, 2024
What’d you mean by this?
Show threadCaitApr 5, 2024
I (ex tankie) thougt because of the anti takie sentiment in 196 that there were a lot of ppl in general that were againat takies, but this vaush stuff makes a lot more sense
Show threadGood Girl [she/they]Apr 5, 2024
Ah alright, yeah a lot of anti-tankie sentiment is concentrated online. Other spaces tend to be a lot less sectarian or at least more willing to listen/put aside differences.
Show threadAdaApr 4, 2024

He recommended this instance

He what?! When did that happen?

Show threadGood Girl [she/they]Apr 5, 2024

I’ll be honest I think I confused his subreddit with him.

reddit.com/…/horsefuck_okbv_had_reopened_however_…

The meme group made a com here (it has 331 subs but seems to be mostly dead at the moment)

196 also made a post with lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196 mentioned

reddit.com/…/r196_offsite_migration_discord_info/

Reddit 196 has(had?) a lot of vaushites in their userbase and so that carried over here.

Show threadAsidonhopoApr 4, 2024
A minor point but you only have 3 of the 5 nonbinary options. AFAB she/theys and AMAB he/theys aren’t represented in the options.
Show threadcowboycrustation [he/him]Apr 4, 2024
Sorry, I didn’t mean to exclude. It won’t let me edit the survey now unfortunately.
Show threadessellApr 4, 2024
I’d pick “amab he/they” if it were there, very happy just to tick the “non-binary” button, don’t feel excluded!
Show threadNewtraApr 4, 2024
Btw, there’s a deep annual survey at www.gendercensus.com . It’s not specifically about this community, and excludes purely cis-binary people, but has interesting data & trends if you’re into this sort of thing.

To clarify, that census specifically targets folk that aren’t on the binary. Cis binary and trans binary folk aren’t part of the target audience
Show threadFirst Majestic CometApr 5, 2024
Very interesting, I will definitely look into that so I can do it when it happens.

Same tbh
Show threadsnowsuit2654Apr 5, 2024
Yeah I was surprised too but being a cis man doesn’t preclude them from being gay or pan or whatever. I prefer to think of people as default allies until they prove themselves otherwise.
Show threadCloacaApr 4, 2024

What about adding the poll temporarily to the community resources section?

That way it is not just in everyone’s feed, and it takes a little more efforty to participate. I’m active here, but I found this community through cross instance bleedover.

Show threadoNeviaApr 4, 2024

Haha. All the cis men.

I wonder what they would all choose a year from now 😘

Show threadHereIAmApr 4, 2024

Eh, I just browse ‘all’. Would I chose to be a woman if I had the chance at birth? Likely yes. But I quite like my ding-dong either way 😄

I am however quite jealous of women’s fashion, the big scarfs, big wooly jumpers, and flowy textiles.

Show threadoNeviaApr 4, 2024

Oh boy.

Only thing I will say is many trans woman also have the same sentiment about their original bits.

Nothing but love ✌️

Show threadscoobfordApr 4, 2024

I questioned and came to the conclusion that I’m quite happy where I am.

My partner is nonbinary though, so I lurk in these sorts of spaces so I have at least a little bit of community awareness and understanding.

Show threadoNeviaApr 4, 2024
Well that makes me happy to know there are allies like you ❤️
Show threadsurvivalmachineApr 4, 2024
I wonder if that’s people seeing the poll link show up in global and then voting without reading the post text.
Show threadoNeviaApr 4, 2024
You’re right. When I first commented, it was a small majority so I figured they were all lurkers. Realized the poll leaked to all. Lol
Show threadsouthsamuraiApr 4, 2024

Fwiw, the impression I get is that there are a goodly number of cis folks here, with the intent of being supportive and learning more. I know that’s why I’m here. It makes me happy when I see people that have a difficulty in their lives find a path to their own happiness.

I may not like every trans person I’ve ever met, but I love trans people.

Show threadoNeviaApr 5, 2024

Totally agree and my comment was completely in jest ❤️

Honestly it’s refreshing to see support. Especially on the Internet where there is so much hate for us…

So thanks for speaking up and letting us know you exist 🥰

Show threadTheAlbatrossApr 5, 2024

I like to keep aware of trans issues, discourse and general stuff so I can be more supportive of my boyfriend. Also if I see someone struggling with something he conquered, I’d love to be able to pass on anything that can help.

I love him dearly and I kinda see me trying to keep aware of trans stuff in my social media circles similar to him keeping aware of Jewish stuff in his social media circles.

Also, queer solidarity. ✊️

Show threadoNeviaApr 6, 2024
That is so beautiful of you. Thank you for being such a great support for your boyfriend and the community as a whole :)

Voted as cis man, have questioned but still haven’t really felt too out of place how I am. I did feel extremely distressed probably outside of how a normal person would react when I noticed I was getting male pattern baldness however
