Text: 40,000! The 2025 Gender Census survey is now open! survey.gendercensus.com Closes 30th Aug! Background: Many colourful decorated boxes with Mars and Venus symbols on them, tumbling chaotically.
Graph. Title: Day by day comparison of participation 2023-2025. The lines for the 3 years have a similar curve shape, but 2023 is lower, ending at about 40,000, and 2024 is higher, ending at about 48,000. The 2025 line is about 80% complete, and it's a little higher than the 2023 curve.
6 days to go, and we just reached 40,000 responses! 🎉🫣
If your gender is a quantum superposition, please consider filling in our annual survey. It takes 5-6 minutes, and just asks for all your gender words like pronouns and whatnot.

A graph where Tumblr contributed lots of survey responses and it has made a cat shape with two pointy ears. I have drawn on cat eyes, nose, mouth, whiskers and tail.
Well done and thank you to Tumblr for making a cat on this "participants per hour" graph for me to wake up to today: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
PS: Over 27,000 participants so far this year! If the gender binary doesn't know what to do with you, please click here: survey.gendercensus.com
I'm reading a feedback comment from someone in the 46-50 age group: "I'm glad for this survey because it is open to all people including "GenX" or older people."
I'm chuffed, because I've put quite a lot of effort into making sure words from every age group are included in the checkbox lists.
It's 5am UK time (ish), which is the quietest hour of the Gender Census survey at the moment.
Do you find the gender binary wholly inadequate? Tell me about how you want people to refer to you and your gender!

Takes 5-6mins, closes 30th Aug.

Screenshot of survey response count showing 33,333 - and I have added silly comic book action lines to draw attention to the number and make it look way more exciting than it actually is.
Accidentally caught the survey response count at a cool number!!! YEAH
PS: If your gender makes the rules, please do the survey - takes about 5 minutes.

I'm doing a little non-gender survey on the side for fun because I had a compulsory rest day today - it just went over 800 responses. :)
Do you have a brain? Were you born in a hemisphere? Then this #survey needs YOU!

Why is it okay that my university has three apps that it's necessary I have or, in the case of two of them, I can't access the buildings I'm in class for? How is this considered normal? Rip my non-smartphone dreams
For many trans young people, gender affirming care is life-changing, and often life-saving, healthcare.
But the Queensland government is blocking improvements and slashing funding from the Queensland Children's Gender Service (QCGS).

This is the book btw
I think maybe we need to remember that books and art and Media is so important. It has the power to reach far and beyond parades and clubs and meet-ups. It has the power to reach across time. I have no access to the 2014 queer community. I never knew it, and yet... Here I am.
This book I'm holding was published in 2014 by a South Australian publishing company using government arts funding. It's about aging lesbian grannies navigating politics and family. Reading this is connection to community.
Reading queer books by small, local, or self publishers is so rewarding. There's just this level of connection. It's like community. It IS community. Community isn't just in person or online, it's this too.
Recently got my book collection back from not having it for two years and it's reawakening something in my soul
Sorry I committed arson at the train station. No, I do believe public transport is an important part of society. It's just that the train was late and I was running on fumes so bad. Yeah the overstim made me irrational. Yeah, you get it.
There's something about being so overstimulated and tired that makes the train being late turn into a reason to set fire to the world
Oh yeah I forgot to make a post. Hi. I'm here too now
