Gender Census @gendercensus@lgbt.io
An annual survey of the language gender-diverse people use to describe ourselves. Results are made freely available in full.
The fifth annual international Gender Census is now open until 1st March 2018!

It's for anyone whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and the results are useful in academia, business, and self-advocacy.
[Update] Identity articles now show an infobox with the flag and its meaning, related identities, popularity (data from the @gendercensus) and a link to its pride gallery. 📊
Check the #androgyne article for an example! https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Androgyne 💛
The second question’s results have been published. This one is on identity words.

On the spelling of #nonbinary:
It’s nonbinary in American English, and non-binary in British English.

This year I intend to write a blog post for the results of each question, and then combine them into two big reports (UK and worldwide) at the end.
I’m hoping this will break down the dauntingly large task into many smaller, more attainable goals. :)
The first blog post of results for the 2018 gender census is up!
It’s the results of the question about the spelling of #nonbinary - both in the UK and worldwide.

This year’s gender census is now closed!
Thank you to everyone who took part and shared the link around, I really appreciate it. :)
And it helped a lot - there are over 11,000 responses.
The gender census will close on Sunday 25th March 2018!

One last promotional push, anyone? :) https://twitter.com/gendercensus/status/959194304181932032
#UK #petition: Recognise #nonbinary people in law
“We call on the government to recognise nonbinary people in law as distinct from men and women, in the form of a third gender option on passports and birth certificates…”

My new place will hopefully have internet in the next couple of days, so I expect to be closing the survey shortly afterwards. :)
I've mostly finished moving house, and I get internet at my new place on Thursday, just to update you! The survey is still open.
So, in a somewhat frustrating turn of events, if all goes well I’ll be getting keys to a new place on 1st March - the day that the survey is due to close.
I’m thinking it’s likely the survey will stay open past the deadline, and I might be late to start processing results.
The results!
RT @mo_ranyart@twitter.com I'm really curious about this. Nonbinary people! Do you use "enby" for yourself?

We’re halfway to the survey’s closing day, and I feel like we’ve attained the goal, so I’m going to stop promoting now and do some Life Stuff.
I'll be back in a couple of weeks to close the survey and let you all know how many people took part and get started on spreadsheeting.
We’re a sneeze away from 10,000 participants, and we officially have more participants than last year! :)

We are less than 300 participants away from 10,000! Can you boost this to new people? Every share helps!
People whose pronouns are fae/faer, which is your reflexive?
- faeself
- faerself
- other
Thanks to a kind boost by a notable neutrois person, we're now officially over 9,000 responses! :)
Here’s a blog post explaining my word choices and showing the results of the polls: https://twitter.com/gendercensus/status/959772140978524162
RT @gendercensus@twitter.com People whose genders aren't described by the "male or female" binary (including #nonbinary people), when you personally use "male" and "female", what can you intend those words to describe?
