The 11th annual international Gender Census 2024 is now open until at least 13th June 2024!

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.

Gender Census 2024

Please take a few minutes to take our survey.

@gendercensus

Did you mean to omit #intersex people ?

@jastity Anything in the checkbox lists is there because it was entered by enough participants, so if I've omitted something it wasn't a political choice, it was just statistics! If you want it to end up being a checkbox in the future, the best way is to invite intersex people to participate and remind them to type it into a text box. (Text box entries are counted and adjusted to account for typing-it-in negative bias.)
@gendercensus @jastity That sounds like a vicious cycle. Intersex people won't want to fill our your survey if you make them feel excluded. You should be putting in an effort to gather a representative sample by being explicitly inclusive. Otherwise past demographic statistics will continue to bias your data in a self-reinforcing loop.
@Grail @jastity How do you think someone in my position would choose which identity words relating to gender (or lack thereof) "should" be represented?
@gendercensus @jastity *You. I use capitalised neopronouns. Also I don't know because I gave up on the idea of categorising all genders in the world very quickly after I learned that xenogenders exist. I think there's a very serious risk that such efforts would have a detrimental effect on the nonbinary community, and I'm not sure anyone in the world is skilled and careful enough to do it in a way that doesn't end up contributing to truscum's narratives. So I'm just gonna offer feedback on problems, I don't have a grand vision of the "right" way to do something as dangerous as this.
@Grail @jastity Okay - then thank You for the feedback, and I will refer You to this section of the FAQs: https://www.gendercensus.com/faq/#add-my-words

I think this policy won’t necessarily work for the intersex.
